Well, it's all going to play itself out, so let's just sit back and see what happens.

On the letterhead issue, I started out not thinking it was a big deal - but after running several searches found where it appears as evidence in a number of lawsuits. Not only that, but I also found government manuals that advised employees not to use letterhead because of legal implications. I also found something - not sure it it was a statute or a regulation - that said a letterhead is the same as a signature.

If you wish, I'll go find all those sources again. I didn't put the information here because the subject changed to immunity which I am still investigating.

Guards in a prison system tried the qualified immunity defense unsuccessfully. But in the past few years the Supreme Court has been ruling in favor of state's sovereign immunity (11th amendment.)

In any case, I don't think any claim of 11th amendment immunity would prevail over other constitutional claims. But I'm still checking.

So please let me know if you want the scoop on the letterhead. Hugs!
