I saw the first 2 series last week and they were excellent. Fox v. Franken was particularly funny but a good slant to the left. Definately worth a watch. Tuesday 9PM on Sundance and 10PM on CourtTV.

Sundance Channel and Court TV present an original four-part series exploring contemporary issues that redefine our Constitutional rights in "The First Amendment Project."
Tuesday's episodes are:
"Some Assembly Required" - Documentary filmmaker Walter went to this year's Republican Convention in New York to follow a range of people, all with different political agendas, yet all wanting to be heard.
"No Joking" - Comedian Lenny Bruce used words like no standup comic before him, and fought landmark court battles for his right to do so. Bruce's legacy is the springboard for this film, which uses a talk show format to take a satiric look at what is deemed protected by free speech. Featuring Eric Bogosian and Richard Dreyfuss.
