1. It's time for him to lose his job and more

2. Is this legal?

Does she have a case in courts, or has her resignation hurt her case?

[Sanity Claws]

4. Tortious interference with contract

That is the tort involved. Of course, details of tort law will vary from state to state so whoever is representing her should into that claim under NJ law.

3. Well, heck, he's just doing what Twitler does.

What's the big deal?

Seriously, I don't know if she has grounds for a lawsuit but it sure looks like a hostile work environment to me.

5. Every progressive depositor need to withdraw

Their funds and she needs to sue.

9. My husband and I used Lakeland bank until very recently

He didn't like their privacy policy and started the process of switching to a more consumer friendly organization. We only have our children's savings accounts still there.

He's headed there over lunch to shut them down as well and will let them know why.

15. I'm with you. +1000 - Closed 4 BofA accts during the mortgage crises and haven't looked back since.

6. Looks like abuse of power to me too.

[Kber]

8. This is my congressman and I'm at his offices most fridays to voice my concerns

I always leave my name and contact number to show that I am indeed a constituent. I guess that was a mistake.

wow

16. He is being challenged.

13. If that is allowed to stand, all progressives had best watch their backs.

She should be able to sue for many reasons, including the loss of her democratic right to protest and speak her own mind. Imagine if this were to happen to all of us who protest what is going on. Scary as hell.

Good for the husband who is closing the children's savings accounts at noon. I would love to hear how that went. The only thing businesses will listen to is loss of income. Honor flew out the window a long time ago.
