According to a blurb in Saturday's Argus Leader (not online), the case of Abourezk v. ProBush.com has survived a 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Former U.S. Senator Jim Abourezk of South Dakota, Tom Daschle's mentor, sued the editor of ProBush.com for defamation after the site put the senator on a list of "traitors." The case has garnered interest from constitutional law scholars Eugene Volokh and Glenn Reynolds. To read the briefs and motions filed in the case, go to ProBush.com and scroll about halfway down.

UPDATE: The AP has a report.
