More than two days have passed since Attorney General Chris Koster filed documents in U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri claiming that Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder is acting improperly in using his state title in a lawsuit challenging the federal health care plan.
As far as I can determine, not one word has been mentioned about Koster's court filing except on this blog. Kinder's initial lawsuit, rightly, was featured by AP and nearly every daily newspaper across the state. Of course, Kinder also issued a news release about the initial filing of the lawsuit.
No news release was filed by the attorney general. Is that what it takes for our First Amendment watchdogs to provide coverage?
