Your fees are valid.


Allred's MO is to wait for the accused to deny publicly, then sue for defamation. Statute of limitations for the alleged crime doesn't matter at that point. It's what she did for Cosby and then Trump.

the supreme court made it basically impossible to convict

Hope that out of office Governor in a state with two popular incumbent Democratic Senators was worth it, SCOTUS.

If this is post 1985 and she's filling criminal charges a) we are in a whole new ball game but b) why would she need a high profile civil litigation attorney?

Because she's about to face a high-density tsunami of poo poo and needs someone who knows how to navigate such a thing.

Why doesn't the Republican leadership call up Sean Hannity and ask him kindly to please turn his back on Moore? He'd do it for them.

Maybe the jury is waiting until Christie is out before they convict

On the one hand, I want everyone who coddled Trump but knows better to be primaried so hard.

On the other hand, they won't be replaced by smarter people.

Still - I'm not sure voters in other states are going to care all that much.

the fact they will be replaced by more volatile, aggressive, uncooperative blowhards is good

they wont be able to work together. the laws they try to pass will be even more unpopular than the relatively more sane senate we have now.

the public backlash will make viginia seem tame.

I'm not well-versed in the case, but I did look into it briefly, and based on recent supreme court rulings, its not as much of a slam-dunk guilty verdict as you might think.

If he does go down at trial and Christie appoints his replacement, does the replacement serve until 2018?

That's not what I mean, what I meant was I'm surprised the jury didn't just convict him on the basis of "gently caress that guy."
