Update: Blogger Sues Over Great Kentucky Blog Ban

Remember the Great Kentucky Blog Ban of 2006? Why, it was almost weeks ago, now, when Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher (R) banned several blogs -- he says, all of them -- from state computers.

Today, the blogger at the center of the fiasco, Bluegrass Report's Mark Nickolas, has fired back, filing a lawsuit against Fletcher and his administration. Nickolas isn't looking for a big cash settlement, he just wants state employees to be able to read his blog. He's being aided by the Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group, Public Citizen, founded by Ralph Nader.

For those curious about Nikolas' argument, check out his post on the topic.
