I am researching that idiotic notion to see if it&#8217;s legal. I&#8217;ll get back to you on that one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Will he do any of them? Beats the daylights out of me. I&#8217;m just speculating, because that&#8217;s all I can do sitting here at some distance.<\/p>\n<p>None of this, of course, includes any of the idiotic pronouncements he could make.
