Just say no

If your initial law doesn't meet court standards, what do you do? Why, you subpoena the most successful search engine in the world for data showing search requests for 60 days, and incidentally demand "a random sample of one million Web addresses, known as URLs."

A 2004 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Ashcroft vs ACLU, upheld an injunction that blocked the government from enforcing the law and the Justice Department is seeking evidence from Google and others as part of an appeal of this injunction.

I thought "moral values John" had left DOJ. Also, why can't they do their own damned work? If I had to, I'm sure I could compile a list of a million web addresses; what do they have interns for?
