1. So I wonder if there’s anything that can be done about Harry Reid’s assertion flat-out whopper that Mitt Romney hadn’t paid his taxes in years. I suppose there’s really nothing that can be done; public figures aren’t granted the same level of protection as private citizens, and if politicians could only say true things about their opponents, the ads would be even more unbearably saccharine and self-serving.

         I have wondered at times if the congressional immunity is excessive in that it might cause more problems than it solves.

            Dueling, I presume?

            Unless, of course, you’re referring to wrestling duals, in which two teams compete against each other (in contrast to wrestling tournaments, which are bracket-style).

            Either one works, of course, but the former has somewhat more permanent consequences for the loser than the latter…

2. This trial puts the speed in speedy. Does Mann have to pay for your defense after he loses?

   1. Possibly. It depends on how the appellate court rules. If they dismiss with prejudice, we could go after him for legal costs.
