M.O.M. up to no good

The state Attorney General's Office is seeking to block a key witness' testimony in a lawsuit challenging 1.3 billion dollars in tax increases passed during the General Assembly's special session last month.

The Washington Times reported today that House of Delegates' chief clerk Mary Monahan is scheduled to give a deposition on Thursday in Tampa, Florida.

The plaintiffs see Monahan, who records and validates House proceedings, as a key witness in the suit that charges that the Senate took too long of a break during last month's special session without permission from the House.

But the emergency motion filed in the Court of Special Appeals yesterday by lawyers representing the state seeks to protect her from testifying. The Attorney General's Office argues that forcing Monahan to testify violates the separation of powers between the judicial and legislative branches.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Does anyone here think she needs protection?

Another end-around by the GOP. She is a technician doing her job.
Go after MoM is you have legal standing.

If she has knowledge of the facts, why should she be sheltered? Why wouldn't you let someone testify about their job? What do they have to hide?

If you have nothing to hide, and tell the truth, you have nothing to fear from telling your story.

Same reasons Harriet Miers didnt, I reckon.

How is that relevant to the instant case? Or did you just stop by to lob an irrelevant bomb?

Go with option 2.

I'm fair and balanced. Why didn't Bush want his aides testifying under oath over the fired attorneys? I defended Bush, but I asked the same question.

The same goes for here, why doesn't he want her under oath? It's because once she's under oath, the Plaintiff's attorneys are going to ask a bunch of questions that they already know the answer to.

Bush didn't want us to know anything, neither does O'malley.

There were plenty of us who were critical of Mr. Bush on that.

I was one of them, and I'm equally as critical of MOM.

You did forget one thing though, over the fired attorneys, Bush did nothing wrong.

I hope this whole thing blows up in Governor O'taxey's face...

This witness is a recorder, not an advisor. You reckon incorrectly.

Amen to that Brother, but he biggest problem is this is that its a bit like suing yourself. the more it goes to court the more you and I have to pay.

MOM is using our own money in the form of our Attorney General ,to defeat us.

Why Florida?

 

[ImnoMensa]

Ya got me there.

 

[Dymphna]

Why Florida?

Because the Governor's office appoints judges?
