A Response to a Member of Congress – by Matt Taibbi
There is not much a person like me can say to a member of Congress hiding behind the protections of the Speech and Debate clause of the Constitution.
One can however respond to a member arrogant enough to repeat those claims on social media. I ve now done so, in the form of a $10 million libel lawsuit filed today in a New Jersey federal court:
Rep. Kamlager-Dove, no woman has ever accused me of engaging in sexual harrassment once, let alone serially. See you in court. Please do not evade service.

I’d say Matt has a pretty good case, and I say this as one experienced in being defamed. I know these are typically hard cases to win. But this one, Matt might win. I hope he does. He’s already raking it in, so ten million would just be icing on the cake. But he deserves it, a least a little.
