COURT CASE: Carter Ray's Facebook like

   A Virginia sheriff  posted a status about his disagreement or argument on his account on the website, Facebook. After the police men Carter Ray Jr. liked that status, he was one of the six men fired for not backing up his boss on his statement. Carter was sent to court. Carter says he has the rights according to the first amendment, " freedom of speech". But Judge Raymond A. Jackson says that Carter's "like" on Facebook wasn't protected by the First Amendment because it did not include any actual speech or writing. The judge was wrong. Others had supported Carter's request. Carter's attorney's were given another chance to solve his argument and then the court can take time to hear more of the argument and the court can make a decision then.
