1. Welcome to DU, Bill Fishlore!

Yes. Let's repeat that. She BROKE THE LAW! I'm sure they'll move heaven and earth to keep her from having to face any difficulty or inconvenient meetings with lawyers. But still - She BROKE THE LAW.

Miss Kellyanne certainly seems to be flirting with a whole lotta thin ice these days...

I think she should be moved to another parish. In another country.
