re: #126 Charles Johnson

From that article:

“The constitution does a lot to protect people,” said John Burns, Johnson’s St. Louis-based attorney. “Even people who are in the spotlight are entitled to certain protections, too. There’s lots of defamation there. Frankly, textbook defamation.”

The suit says they are seeking at least $66 million in actual and punitive damages, though Burns said they are seeking a recovery of about $20 million.

Burns would not elaborate as to why the suit was filed in Missouri, citing “strategy.”

“I will say this: I’m not an idiot,” Burns said.

That remains to be seen, in my book.

And since when is John an acceptable alternative to Jonathon? These are two different names. I should know.
