I've heard, and I'm hoping it's true, that such 'immunity' applies when statemtents are made as part of official duties and while in the hallowed halls of Congress. Sometimes that applies to the premises, but not to places like Murtha's offices in his home district. It was from there that Murtha made many of his statements to the news outlets, and it's there that he may be vulnerable.

From another article, today:
Murtha said his office has been deluged with phone calls about the issue, 50 to one against what his constituents call a bailout for Wall Street.
Murtha Explains His Vote For Bailout Plan
Let's hope the scumbag just gave another reason to once loyal voters to replace him come November.

Any word on whats happening with this case lately?I'm pinging this to experts.
To: jazusamo
I’m on the Haditha list but thankfully not on this Murtha Watch list. Worthy of a Haditha ping?

>> people who see him on the street have called him a “baby killer” or accused him of “slaughtering people.
This kind of crap really ticks me off

Noah Geary, Justin's attorney, served Murtha with papers just before election day. Geary didn't want publicity for the event so it wasn't in the press.
Murtha has turned everything over to DOJ lawyers for response. And that's where things stand on the Sharratt case.
The DOJ's stance is that Murtha is immune from any slander suits because he is a member of Congress. I've posted legal documents (from both government and plaintiff) in the SSgt Wuterich slander suit HERE so you can read the DOJ's argument if you want.
In addition to the Sharratt suit, the SSgt Wuterich slander suit is also still in play. We're waiting for a decision from an appeals court regarding Murtha's immunity. Whatever the decision, this case is likely to go to the Supreme Court.
