Woods, naturally, was pleased that he may yet get his day in court, saying that "Twitter users beware: you are not above the law." Lisa Bloom, who is representing the currently-anonymous defendant, tweeted a statement saying that Abe List looks forward to "presenting the issues to the Court of Appeal."
