Come on now, Mog. You haven’t been paying attention. Letterman has obviously put this woman under his spell and she is REQUIRED to tune in to his show every night. That’s why she needed the restraining order. Now that it has been removed, she will never be able to escape his grasp!

You know, she could have just turned off the TV and not watched Letterman. But that would have been too sane and she sure doesn’t come across as that. Had she been somewhere less unique in their insights, the judge might have ordered a psychiatric evaluation.

And the judge needs to be recalled for issuing such a stupid restraining order. Thou, if New Mexico is as wacked out as Paul inferred, that probably won’t happen.

TRO’s are never issued except a temporary emergency measure. The defendant usually receives little or no notice until the TRO is issued. A hearing is held promptly after the TRO issues so that the defendant will have his day in court. In some states the party seeking a TRO has to furnish a bond to protect the defendant from loss in case the order was unjustified. I am in shock that any judge anywhere would have issued this. (And I’ve seen some shocking judges.) It’s too bad there’s no way for Letterman to recover his attorneys’ fees from the woman who sought the order. Let’s hope that the voters — and the local bar association — remember this judge at election time.

You obviously don’t understand this part of the world. Santa Fe is known as the “City Different,” and New Mexico is the “Land of Enchantment.” People here have unique insights into life and the universe.

Either that, or the judge has been smoking the same stuff as the plaintiff.
