No, longer. As in "forever." Heck, there's a move afoot to penalize some
(non-aviation) US companies for their actions over 150 years ago... Heck, the country is still being sued by American Indians and African Americans for actions taken by our ancestors centuries ago. Liability - the gift that keeps on giving. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

As President, he'd have less control over that than he currently does in the Senate now. (Not that I'd want him to be President. But of all the problems having a trial lawyer (who potentially used *ahem* questionable "science" in his cases) as President - that's not one I'm concerned about.) Addison |

He wasn't even really a defense lawyer. |
