"I posted a story about Blackwell releasing information about a Strickland aid exposing himself in 1994... this part was at the bottom of the article... Blackwell may be sued because the records in question were sealed"

BLACKWELL MAY FACE LAWSUIT

A Cincinnati attorney who represents the former aide said he may take legal action against Blackwell and anyone else who releases information that was sealed by a judge.

Although details of the man's 1994 arrest and conviction were expunged in a confidential court order in 2002, the Blackwell campaign circulated an Internet column Tuesday that names the former congressional employee.

The item from the Web site World Net Daily was written by Jerome R. Corsi, co-author of Blackwell's book, "Rebuilding America." Corsi also co-authored "Unfit for Command," the best-selling attack on former presidential candidate John Kerry's record as swift boat commander in Vietnam.

Marc Mezibov, a Cincinnati attorney, said he plans to take legal action as early as today against anyone who causes harm to his client.

"This is so preposterous,'' Mezibov said. "We are concerned that a record which has been judicially ordered as expunged, and the arrest records and related records sealed, has been disseminated by a public official. That is a matter which we do not take lightly."

2. .

I think we all know by now that Blackwell, like many other Repubs, considers himself above the law and that he can do whatever he want.
It might be time for him to realize that this is not the case (anymore).

3. Whoopsy!

Something tells me Blackwell didn't think his plan through. I guess that's the downside of being so "focused" (meaning "single-minded" and "stupid"): you just don't consider the consequences.
