How does that work? How do you show "standing?" Would the injunction have to come from a federal district court?
I get that it's a clear 1st amendment issue, but does someone have to be "injured" by the law?
aren't we all injured by the chilling of free speech? standing isn't a particularly high hurdle for a law that seeks to reach (or, more appropriately, overreach) as far as this one does. it doesn't take much to find someone who posts anonymously on an internet site or, easier, someone who owns such a site and would be subject to these proposed fines. and one normally does go to federal court for issues such as this. especially considering the potential/perceived bias a kentucky state court would have regarding a kentucky state law.
