According to a post by mo1, Sandler was also serving as Moveon.org's lawyer. Looks like that may have happened simultaneously. That's a link that needs to be explored further. Can you say, "George Soros?"

You would think these responsibilities would keep him busy enough to preclude trying to stifle free speech via, albeit silly, intimidation letters.

I wonder if he has staffers doing this on his behalf?

In any event, Mr. Sandler should go fornicate in solitude. (for those of you in Rio Linda or dummie underground, that means "go fuck yourself".

I assumed he was doing Pro boner work but that would be redundant.
