We previously wrote about the dangerous though ineffective injunction a San Francisco federal judge issued shutting down the Wikileaks website. On Friday, the Judge reversed himself, recognizing that his order was an unlawful prior restraint. The Judge said he had  "serious questions" about whether the legal measures sought "would be constitutionally appropriate" and whether they constituted a prior restraint by the government. He also cited "possible violations of the First Amendment." The Judge also said he recognized that “other websites” had posted the purloined documents so there was a real question as to how effective his order was or could ever be.
