The reality is that Fox was on sound legal ground and the judge was wrong.

if there was ever one single post from which showed how deranged your mind is, this should be it. i am not even sure whether we live in the same country under the same laws. the judge said it best about the lawsuit "wholly without merit, both factually and legally"


Conservatives are never wrong.......its as simple as that.

The judge was wrong.

Franken is capitalizing on the trademarked ad slogan of another business -- one which has spent substantial sums of money to create that slogan. Franken STOLE the ad slogan of Fox News.

What legal principle gives Franken the right to do this? You can damned well bet if he'd used "Just Do It" on the cover of his book he'd have been sued. Or "The Pause that Refreshes". And he would have lost.

Actually he went beyond saying that the suit was without merit... The judge also said he thought it ironic that a media company that should be fighting to protect free speech would seek to undermine the First Amendment. . This judge obviously does not watch the Faux News channel very much... <gg>
