Clearly The Best Way To Squelch

 ...the whole Robocon scandal is to sue the loudest MP in the HOC AND flip Stephen Taylor the legal docs on the down-low so as to blow your whole case out of the water if it ever DOES go to court.  I mean, most judges really hate it when your real intent is to fight out your suit in the court of public opinion, and more particularly in the blogosphere.  They're serious folk who don't like having their time wasted.

But of course the whole point is to get Pat Martin to shut up and instead what will happen reminds me of that old Jesus joke where Jesus walks into the inn carrying some nails and a hammer and asks the innkeeper to put him up for the night.  Pat Martin will spend the next two years cranking this for all its worth and if I were the NDP I would fund his legal case to the last stand, just to get to discovery.

Somewhere in Harper's inner circle somebody is trying to figure out a way to disappear Matt Meier and RackNine.  Or, if they think this latest tactic will put this whole thing to bed, then they really are crazy.

Meet Matt Meier (Of RackNine)

Matt thinks the NDP has defamed him, and has fired off some legal paper-work.  Given Matt's links to the Harper Gov., it isn't surprising that these documents have wound up in the hands of Stephen Taylor.
