Please summarize in three sentences.
Hope she burns for this.
But she is a liberal so will probably get a pat on the back and a complimentary “Good going, girl!”
Melanie Sloan lied about Christine O’Donnell in order to influence the election, but did so in official legal complaints seeking government action. Melanie Sloan knew she was lying or would have known with the slightest investigation (which an attorney is required to undertake). Melanie Sloan’s lies violated the requirements of the D.C. Bar.
Christine will lose this suit. I can’t imagine a judge saying, “yes they were mean to you so let’s take away their ability to practice law.” I could be wrong, but this suit is just going to cost Christine money.
Easy come easy go.
Beats actually working for a living. ;)
Still nothing will happen because it was during a campaign. Now had Christine not put herself in the election and she said something slanderous than Christine would have a suit. This is going to nowhere. MAYBE the best that will come out of this is the next time Christine runs for office, her detractors might think twice about saying negative things about her.
Thanks. It’s about time somebody turns the table on lying Rats by using the truth. I hope this is successful and they don’t get away with it this time.
That, my good man, is the point of this exercise.
naps they didn’t say negative things. They lied. In a legal complaint.
This isn't O'Donnells suit. It was filed by Jonathan Moseley.
Some bad, some good.
We will see.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Melanie Sloan is emblematic of all the deceit and malice that characterizes the left in one, tidy package. It sounds as if Moseley has done his homework which will hopefully result in at least partially defanging this political tool.
Having said that, I’m not holding my breath.
There may be DE case law on this question or they may not - but in New York it is a not a matter of whether you say you are a candidate but whether you have sufficient number of petitions to establish candidacy.
I highly doubt that "purchasing campaign software" or "testing the waters" has any legal value whatever.
Think about it: I could declare myself a candidate every year, declare all kinds of expenses (travel, meals etc.) and never get a single signature or mount a real campaign. Legally there needs to be a minimum standard. Simply filing may not meet it.
Poetc. I am so glad to see her go down in flames. It’s taken a long time though. My former Congressman, Curt Weldon, was targeted by CREW. Somewhere, Curt is smiling today if he reads this.

You’re welcome.
This has nothing to do with New York. And these two people lied in a complaint to the FEC which was later tossed out.
