A coalition of attorneys is drafting a legal assault on Utah's new anti-porn law. Word of the impending court fight has reached Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who in response has halted efforts to implement the new law aimed at protecting children from Internet pornography. Lawyers for the Washington-based Center for Democracy & Technology warned lawmakers before House Bill 260 came up for a vote. The center's attorney, John Morris, is now drafting the suit with the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah and New York City Attorney Michael Bamberger, who has previously represented Penthouse, Playboy and other publishers in similar suits.
