Mostly government officials are personally off-limits for lawsuits, unless what is at issue is malfeasance or other abuse of power. It doesn’t seem likely that proposing inane, money-wasting, proselytizing legislation will be considered flat-out malfeasance, even if it ought to be.

Stephen Wise, a Jacksonville Republican, said he plans to introduce a bill to require teachers who teach evolution to also discuss the idea of intelligent design.</blockquote> This is really going to make Pipsqueak, Esq. (Casey Luskin) freak out. Imagine, someone wanting to <i>mandate</i> the teaching of ID. That's not the party line Senator (ironically named) Wise. Read the DI technical papers...and by that I mean press releases...a little more. From the article:

Is it possible for people (Florida residents, in this case) to sue a person like State senator Stephen Wise for costing them money with this law which is guaranteed to lose in court? Or are they protected by a law regarding their perofrmance of their job (however poorly in this case)? I’ve asked this before in other comment threads and forums but never heard an answer.
