Is there anything better for beach (con law) reading than a case involving the First Amendment, Sports Illustrated, Alabama football and dancing girls? Thankfully, the Eleventh Circuit has provided us just such a case today in Price v. Time, Inc., in which the court addresses how much protection the First Amendment gives to a Sports Illustrated reporter who desires to withhold in litigation the name of the confidential source of his information regarding a visit by Mike Price, former head coach of the Crimson Tide football team, to a Pensacola establishment that is known as Artey's Angels despite the fact, as the court noted, that "the women who dance there are not angels in the religious sense and, when he went, Price was not following the better angels of his nature in any sense."
