Hooray! Some smart senators already proposed a bill that would make access to court documents through PACER free to all but patrons who download documents valued at $25,000 per year. Presently, the door to free access is closed once anyone downloads $30 worth per quarter, which is about 300 pages.

If you have any suggestions on how citizens can encourage passage of this bill, please comment or send a private message to bohemian_books@yahoo.com.

For now, here are a couple FREE Docs of the Day:
