Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center says he was the “fall guy”
You mean as apposed to "ruining the life" of the person(s) they killed? Not to mention the affect on the lives of the surviving family members? By crystalcove =========== If you make a DUI mistake that takes anothers life, then you deserve a serious prison term, and you let the chips fall where they may.— August 2, 2010 11:45 a.m.
In San Diego, Sherrod Says She'll Sue Breitbart
I've had a public figure threaten to sue me for libel. I was right and he was wrong. But Copley caved in... By dbauder ================= ALL politicians are public figures. It is basically IMPOSSIBLE to sue for defamation as a public figure, at least impossible to sue and WIN. (the element of malice is what kills public figures-unless you have a smoking gun, a written record or oral recording, you cannot prove malice up in court). I know of NO public figure who has won a defamation lawsuit-not one. I cannot believe Copley Press did not have expert First Amendment lawyers from Luce Forward, or some other major law firm, on retainer for exactly these types of issues. I also cannot believe the paper would cave on the DEFAMATION issue, I am sure they have threats of litigation for some reason or another weekly, if not daily. It may have been that the paper caved for another reason (pressure from local power brokers maybe).— August 2, 2010 11:39 a.m.
In San Diego, Sherrod Says She'll Sue Breitbart
as far as where and why did Breitbart would find and use the video...i'm sure he has researchers constantly scanning everywhere for material that fits his Biggoverment.com site style ======== I had never heard of this website or this guy until this story broke-then by chance on another site a guy has been postng clips from Biggoverment.com and there is a LOT of stuff that I like there. My question is WHY slime someone like Sherrod, there was no need to???? B/c it breaks down your credibility when you get your hand caught in the cookie jar.....I just do not udnerstand WHY this guy distorted her speech. Makes no sense.— August 2, 2010 11:31 a.m.
In San Diego, Sherrod Says She'll Sue Breitbart
If Sherrod isn't a public figure, then why did the POTUS know her? =========== I do not think President Obama knew her before she was outed by the blogger Breithart, he only met her AFTER she was outed, fired, and then rehired. At least that is how I understand it. She may be a public figure NOW, but she was not one when she was defamed-and that makes a difference......— August 2, 2010 11:28 a.m.
This Crisis Is New? The City Confessed Six Years Ago
. They aren't just slapping you in the face, they're having you slap yourself in the face. By refriedgringo =============== LOL, we are slapping ourself!!!!! Now that was funny!!!!! Reminds me of Jim Carrey in the movie "Liar Liar" when he beats himself up in the mens room!— August 2, 2010 11:21 a.m.

Oops, there was supposed to be a "not" before exactly! ==== Yes, I figured as much...there is an "edit" tab at the bottom of the posts, as long as you use it within a few hours of the post, then it disappears...........— August 2, 2010 11:20 a.m.

You are exactly clear on how Vegas sets betting odds, are you? ============ I have no idea how the sports betting line works, I was being sarcastic..............betting is illegal in CA., you want don't want JustClueless to put me in the Big House do you@!!— August 2, 2010 11:18 a.m.
This Crisis Is New? The City Confessed Six Years Ago
Don, even AB Laffer would agree that there needs to be a minimum tax base to do the work of gov, there is no question about that. But what we have today is a gov employee class that is being comed up to 20 times more than the private sector. When you have a sales tax that is 10% something is gonna give. We simply cannot comp gov employees the way we are today. We are broke-out of cash-busted. I read an article a few days ago that totaled up the costs to fund K-12 education in CA, adding in all costs including real property and improvements-it was $30K/year per student. It costs $47K/year to house a prisoner here. Why?? Because our employee costs are astronomically high. We simply cannpt afford to comp those kinds of #'s and stay solvent. Something is wrong here..........— August 1, 2010 8:42 p.m.

SurfPuppy -- you've got to be kidding me. Sherrod is not a public figure? =========== No she was NOT a public figure. And having someone post defamatory statements does NOT make you a public figure either. Like I said, there are a number of COA's, and you even admitted it. You don't understand American law, you must be from the UK.— August 1, 2010 6:02 p.m.
