Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. being treated for "mood disorder"

75. I don't need to keep digging. You are doing that job just fine.

1) The debate was televised on a local cable outlet. No I can't direct you to to any tape because I'm sure after 10 years it no longer exists. Jackson was pushing a new airport which was controversial in the community and I opposed it. If you don't want to believe that who cares? Certainly not me. Anyone who lived in Chicago at the time is familiar with the controversy.

2) "Or while he was going to the men's after church?" I don't know what that phrase means, I'll leave it to others to determine that.

3) Jackson was not hit by a bus and as far as we know is not in a coma. When you have to build those strawmen you don't have much left. You remind me of a union member when I was handling grievances and contract disputes for a local union. He came into my office with a copy of the contract with various sections cut out. I asked him why he had cut those sections out. He said "because I don't like them!" You are the same, you want to pick and choose what sections of HIPAA you like and ignore those you don't.

4) All this talk of HIPAA is nonsense anyway. Jackson is a public official and he owes it to the public to disclose what is going on whether you like or not.

5) Please don't go to law school. There will be laws you don't like and you don't get to cut them out of your book.
