It's no joke. If you go to Orrin Hatch's site and click on "my utah search" on the right, you'll end up at a porn site: http://www.senate.gov/~hatch/index.cfm?Fuseaction=Students.Utah This is of course the same Orrin Hatch who's an unapologetic antiporn crusader: http://www.politechbot.com/p-03467.html And hardly a friend of free expression in general: http://www.politechbot.com/p-00600.html Go to Hatch's page before the link is removed. On Wednesday afternoon, the extremely embarrassing video file with Hatch's destroy-the-PCs remarks was quietly disappeared from judiciary.senate.gov. -Declan --- >Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2003 22:00:35 -0400 >Subject: Orrin Hatch Part Deux >From: George Ellenburg <georgeat_private> >To: declanat_private > >Declan, > >Have you seen this? > >1.

For your consideration: http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,59305,00.html Orrin Hatch: Software Pirate? Sen.
