Letterman and Stupid Judicial Tricks

Yesterday's edition of the Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper reports that New Mexico District Court Judge David Sanchez granted a temporary restraining order against late night talk show host David Letterman in favor of a local resident, Colleen Nestler.

According to the newspaper “Nestler, 59, asked for the order because she said Letterman has been harassing her for more than 10 years by using code words on his television program that were meant specifically for her. She asked that Letterman be forbidden from thinking about her, that he stay three yards away from her and that he 'release me from his mental harassment and hammering.'” District Judge Daniel Sanchez signed the order and set the matter for a hearing on January 12.

From this account it is difficult to say who is nuttier and more dangerous: Nestler or Judge Sanchez.
