Game on. More silly statements to follow.
The Argus was reporting on a couple of aspects of the Sutton trial this afternoon. First and foremost, with the Supreme court giving the green light, it's game on at a 27-6 vote:
More to come. Stay tuned...... If you dare!
....the Senate voted 27-6 to appoint the select committee that will investigate Sutton, who is facing allegations of sexual misconduct with an 18-year-old Senate page last year.Read that and more here. After Frank's e-mail I'm surprised he was a no vote. Next, the Argus talks about the Secret Witness list:
The disciplinary hearings are set to begin Tuesday.
Democratic Senators Sandy Jerstad of Sioux Falls, Tom Katus of Rapid City, Frank Kloucek of Scotland, Gil Koetzle of Sioux Falls, Ben Nesselhuf of Vermillion and Theresa Two Bulls of Pine Ridge voted against the measure.
Sen. Jerry Apa, R-Lead, and Sutton were not present for the vote.
Sutton, a Flandreau Democrat, is facing an allegation of sexual misconduct with an 18-year-old Senate page last year. Sutton has denied the allegation.
Seven subpoenas were issued last week, compelling witnesses to show up for the hearings scheduled to begin on Tuesday.Read that here. Of course, none of that compares to the continued over the top and hilarious silly statements to the media that Sutton attorney Patrick Duffy continues to utter forth. See if you can guess which ones were issued today, and which ones were earlier pronouncements:
The names of those witnesses won’t be released until Monday, McMahon said.
“I don’t want a bunch of people calling those witnesses and, for lack of a better word, harassing them,” McMahon said. “I have told Mr. Sutton’s attorneys who they are going to be.”
Duffy says....."Bring it on."I think he's forgotten "I am become death, the mighty destroyer of the world," and other colorful phrases that you're more likely to read in comic books and star trek movies than in a legislative proceeding.
"There is nothing between all of us and apocalyptic pain now for everyone," Duffy predicted.
“Let’s get ready to rumble,” Duffy said.
...And lest we forget my personal favorite: “The dogs of war are about to be unleashed,” Duffy said.
More to come. Stay tuned...... If you dare!

Well, BJ: it sucks to have to sit in judgment of a fellow Democrat doesn't it?
What would you rather do? Forget it about? Sweep it under the rug?
Typical, Liberal attitude.
I'd like Pat on my side in a bar fight, but not as an advocate in sensitive bargaining. With middle age, Pat appears to have crossed the fence from refreshingly brilliant to crass and occasionally entertaining. Sutton may want to reconsider his legal team strategy before Tuesday.
Duffy is a prime example as to why President Bush and the rest of our Republican Party hates Trial Lawyers!
Isnt this Duffy the same Duffy that sucksexfully(sp) prosecuted a guy in Rapid City for sexual harrassment ?
All that guy (doug hamilton) did was buy a book with questionable pictures, leave it where his female employees saw it, or, showed it to them, and wham, Duffy made a jury believe that guy was scum and cost him like 6 million dollars ?
Now this same Duffy (I think)is defending a guy that is accused of actually fondling an employee,,, Gotta love a guy with standards like that. I can see why he is lawyer of the year hahaha, if this is the same Duffy ?
anybody know ?
