that prompted the ACLU to file the petition.
The News and Gleanings is owned by the Hartford Courant newspaper, and the Gazette is owned and operated by the Stamford-based Hartford Courants.
The Courants has previously defended the right of journalists to share their news and opinions on the web.
Fierman said that when he first saw the petition and the ACLU request, he immediately understood that the issue was about free speech.
He said that his team and the other lawyers who filed the petition are confident that the petition will prevail.
“The issue here is not about whether or not it is a right, it’s about whether the Connecticut Constitution protects a person’s right to speak their mind freely on the free internet,” Fiermann said.
“Free speech is a fundamental right, and it is the basis of our Constitution.
The courts have not yet ruled, but they are likely to soon.
This case will go to trial and ultimately, this case will determine whether the right to free speech in the state of Connecticut is protected.”
Fiermann added that he is hopeful that the case will be successful.
“I would encourage people to contact their attorney immediately if they want to defend this case,” he said.
