This is a phony threat. These are not lawyers for John Kerry. They have no authority to threaten any lawsuit on behalf of John Kerry. They could be disciplined for this letter since they are threatening a lawsuit that they have no standing or authority to bring. This is a veiled attempt at extortion. Legally only a lawyer representing John Kerry and not a lawyer from the DNC or the Kerry Edwards campaign could threaten such a lawsuit.

Not only that, but there are elements of this letter that are potentillly libelous in their own right, and these lawyers are writing on their own nick. They seem to be highly exposed.

Do you have a URL that explains your basis for saying this?

THANKS.

I wonder how many thousands of complaints we could get into their bar review ethics board.

Wouldn't accomplish much but the publicity could be fun.

Isn't Kerry intimately affiliated with the DNC, as though they were his employers? I'm not convinced they dont have standing to represent Kerry.
