Tanner Suit May Set Internet Law

Internet, should it result in a final ruling. The case is receiving a
lot of attention from the press covering the Internet. The Tanners have
appealed a ruling by U.S. District Judge Tena Campbell to the 10th
Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, which would resolve the issue for
much of the Intermountain West. |

review publication, the New York Times Book Review. And New York Times

book, "a long overdue primer on one of the fastest growing religions in
the world." |
