33. Why would I face a lawsuit?

Dr. Weinberg said he would be willing to face a lawsuit, acknowledging that his position is contrary to state law. Do you have that same conviction?

I've been teaching for decades now, and suddenly I'm going to face lawsuits because some anonymous DU posters suddenly and inexplicably decide to start issuing threats of lawsuits and arrests over the internet in 2016?

Seriously?

I understand that Lucky Gunner's attacks on the parents of a gun victim has you guys revved up with images of bankrupting anybody who disagrees with the NRA, but this is really getting silly.
