Dan Eaton talks about civil service job protections and the power Internet providers have to censor your comments. Those are two of the subjects we'll discuss in this week's legal update.

Audio will be posted later today.

Tom Fudge: Today the San Diego city council is expected to discuss a proposal that deputy city attorneys be made classified civil servants.
