The Fish Fry

Letter to the Editor
Letter to the Editor
Some comments demand response in El Sellers’ latest Letter to the Editor, run June 20, “LAWFARE: THE LAST REFUGE OF LIBERALS.” Explaining, Sellers offers: “the term (“lawfare”) as currently used, explains using legal statutes as political weapons against an opponent.” This is true, in that BOTH sides will make accusations of lawbreaking against the other political side.
