[Wild Cobra]

Don't be afraid of the legal ability to wiretap. Be afraid of those who are unethical and do so even when it's illegal:

House minority leader wins $1 million plus in lawsuit against Democratic lawmaker

Judge rules on fees after U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Democrat's challenge

Judge earlier found Rep. James McDermott violated federal wiretapping law

McDermott didn't actually do the wiretapping, he leaked the tape of the conversation about Newt Gingrich's shitty ethics someone else tapped.

Pretty funny story.

Do you really think $1 million is a reasonable amount for legal fees in this case?

Yes, I know. What he did was still illegal. The people who did it were also brought to justice. I'm just glad the laws actually get enforced.

I don't know, I don't know what was spent or how much was punative. I'm just glad the legal precident was set.

Not true. However, I do take pleasure that it was a democrat having the judgement against rather than a republican.

Chump, you would defend the dimms for murder, wouldn't
you. I suppose you think what occurred was perfectly okay
since it was the dimms that did the deed.

I'm sure you will donate a little cash so McDermott
wont have to dig too deep into his own pocket.

I'm fine with everything that happened. I only question the actual amount of legal fees. The law is the law.
