re: #2 Ming

Here is a comment I think is worth passing along, from one of Andrew Sullivan’s readers:

Very insightful, that reader. Ok, it was me :-).

I’ve since found out that Z’s counter-suit was even more preposterous than I had thought. Apparently, he claims she assaulted him after he declined her request for him to spend the night with her. Yeah, that actually happened.

I also pointed out elsewhere that while Z’s run-ins with the law were inadmissible, it’s not obvious that his own claims — his application to the law enforcement academy, his petition for a restraining order — would also be inadmissible.
