Here at Smarter Hogville, we don't confine our reaches to (dumber) Hogville. We also peruse other boards from time to time. And the latest revoltin' developments involving Mrs. Houston Nutt, e-mail, and the Great Five-Star Springdale Caper caused us to drift over to Woopig.net 2.0 - There Is No Substitute, part-time summer home of Razorgasm, to see what doobies were being sparked up in celebration of a certain order of the Arkansas Supreme Court.

About 10:00am this morning the Arkansas Supreme Court entered an Order Staying the Order of Contempt.

The Order of Contempt issued by Judge Lindsay required Christian to return all of the emails obtained from Darby's work computer to the Department of Finance & Administration. The Order imposed a deadline of today, by which the emails had to be returned. As a result of the stay, Christian does not have to comply with Judge Lindsay's Order.

In addition the Order of Contempt also prohibited Christian, or any other attorney representing Mr. Terry from commenting upon, publishing, or otherwise disseminating the content of any of the Darby emails. The stay entered by the Supreme Court lifts this "Gag Order" and removes this prohibition.

But the real reason for the happiness? It has nothing to do with legal progress in the case:

The court of Public Opinion will decide this.

We happen to think that lawsuits should be about the law, not embarrassing your adversary into submission to your every desire and whim. That is clearly what this lawsuit is about, and it's embarrassing all of us.
