Politech is the oldest Internet resource devoted to politics and technology. Launched in 1994 by Declan McCullagh, the mailing list has chronicled the growing intersection of law, culture, technology, and politics. Since 2000, so has the Politech web site.

Excerpt:
"The Permanent Injunction of the TSP requested by Plaintiffs is granted 
inasmuch as each of the factors required to be met to sustain such an 
injunction have undisputedly been met. 59  The irreparable injury 
necessary to warrant injunctive relief is clear, as the First and Fourth 
Amendment rights of Plaintiffs are violated by the TSP.  See Dombrowski 
v. Pfister, 380 U.S. 479 (1965).  The irreparable injury conversely 
sustained by Defendants under this injunction may be rectified by 
compliance with our Constitution and/or statutory law, as amended if 
necessary.  Plaintiffs have prevailed, and the public \interest is 
clear, in this matter.  It is the upholding of our Constitution."
