Politics be damned!!
I was being deposed when one of the 3 lawyers for the other side asked me for my wife's name. I knew it was already public information and it's purpose was to intimidate me.
I told the lawyer that I was not going to spend my time answering stupid questions or play lawyer games. I walked out. Everyone was upset.
Then I found myself in front of a Judge. He barked about how I was not being cooperative and wanted me to tell him what I thought of the entire ordeal. I said, "Frankly your Honor, I don't give a damn".
BTW, I did win the lawsuit against me.
If they can not find anything on you they will drag your family, immediate or extend into it. That is disgusting and classless.
It makes one long for the days when dueling was legal.
