Couldn't Happen To A Nicer Guy
"Baghdad Jim" McDermott has been ordered by a federal court of appeals to finally, after a decade, pay up:
In a 2-1 opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that McDermott violated the rights of House Majority Leader John Boehner, who was heard on the 1996 call involving former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
The court ordered McDermott to pay Boehner more than $700,000 for leaking the taped conversation. The figure includes $60,000 in damages and more than $600,000 in legal costs.
It's always nice to see a little justice come from all the Democrat dirty tricks of the nineties, even if much of the Clinton corruption and criminality went unhindered.

What does it say about our legal system that this result took 10 years to reach and the legal costs involved total 10 times the amount of the "fine"?

Hey, I thought the Democrats were opposed to domestic surveillance...

Only if it is a Republican doing the “surveil’ing” ;-)
