A state court judge sided with Alabama Gas Corp. and blocked the Montgomery Advertiser from publishing information about the utility's plan for gas line safety, which the Alabama Public Service Commission released through an open records request.

This scandalous Prior Restraint on Publication was granted without even giving the newspaper time to respond in court based on an unsubtantiated claim of "Homeland Security" issues.

Judge probabbly got paid off or holding stock.
Cant shut down the internet though, the story is coming out.
Should be several new outlets at the SEP 25 hearing, now the judge's decision is under scrutinity, wonder how he will rule then.
