Got to disagree. While I hate the subject of the legislation, it was incredibly poorly written. This law needed to be overturned. Alito didn't look at the law, he looked at his gut, a textbook 'activist judge'.
Nifty thing though: this law had a signing statement that clarified the law and said it would only apply to these sort of videos. The high court said that signing statements had no bearing on the issue. All those statements Bush did just got declared irrelevant.
