>>Discovery is limited to those matters reasonably calculated to lead to relevant
evidence. You can't simply ask a President or any other litigant anything.

Just like a lawyer to start backtracking when you're cornered. I think you're wrong (but
I'm not the lawyer). As I remember, you cannot object to or refuse to answer a
deposition question on the grounds of relevance, so anything but privileged matters is
fair game.

Please learn something about the law before you take on a lawyer. jlallen is completely correct and you are completely wrong about the scope of discovery. You are fully entitled to object to a deposition question on the grounds of relevance and to refuse to answer it. If the deposing lawyer wants an answer she has to go before the court and show that the answer will be relevant or calculated to lead to relevant evidence, whether or not admissible. If I were sueing you for defamation on this thread (hired, perhaps, by Linda Tripp to sue you for defamation for calling her insane, and she would actually have a pretty good case if she could show damages since publication is obvious, you have admitted falsity, and even if she were found to be a public figure I would say from your past history here that you had clearly shown actual malice for anybody who helps Starr in any way, so hang onto your wallet) there is no way I could ask questions about any affairs you might have had with your sisters in law.

Please stop shooting from the hip on things you don't understand.
