Need I mention that all that legislative mail and the legislative and executive email servers will be available in the discovery process? Thus any of those communications that make reckless and wild allegations will also be thrown into the mix.

That's political speech.

Or if not "political" could it be called private communication. The emails were not directed to the public at large, but only to named politicians. Now if somebody took an ad out in the Miami Herald, addressed purportedly to the Florida legislature, which stated that Michael Schiavo is a murdering scum, THAT could be libel (I say "could" ;-).
