Big deal, anybody can threaten a suit. In fact, many people can bring frivolous suits, just ask the Taitz moron. It doesn't mean a damn thing.

Just as the article said, they are more interested in making it look tarnished then actually bring a suit. You're the target audience....

How is it more "hype" than reality when Nelson doesn't even bother to refute it but proclaims it proudly as doing his duty for his state?

It is just another example of the depravity of politics in this country. All involved should be tossed from office, along with the LA. senator with her $300 million dollar bribe acceptance.

Hey, since you feel that way, do you want to pay my health care costs for me? I don't live in Nebraska, but you apparently don't have a problem paying other peoples bills.

So, what is the latest on Richardson? Didn't he withdraw from the last election under some cloud of investigation?
