When she is no longer a public figure, she can own the sniveling bastards if they do what Letterman tried or the enemedia has been spewing for lo these many months. ... Except the liberals now have too many numbers in the courts to actually have justice in America.

She will always be a public figure. That never ends. It's very much like un-ringing a bell. Even if she retreats into total and absolute seclusion (which of course is ridiculous), she will still be a public figure.

The First Amendment makes it virtually impossible for her, or her attorney to stop media outlets from speculating about any reasons for her departure, regardless of how outrageous the speculation is.

But, she does have some limited ability to fight back. Unfortunately, it's very limited.

I believe legally she will remain a ‘public figure’ for the rest of her life.
