Will Bruce Get Sued?

If you’re reading this blog today, you no doubt have heard that Republican Rep. Doug Bruce kicked some ass knee down at the state legislature today…literally. As State 38 reports, Bruce is not protected from a lawsuit because he wasn’t technically a legislator when he kicked a photographer:

it’s unclear whether or not Temple will sue the pants off of Bruce for assaulting one of his photographers.  I heard he’s already yelled at everyone from House Minority Leader Mike May to good ‘ole Dick Wadhams, but will he take the next step and go to court over it?  Ironically, legislators on the house floor normally have immunity from those sorts of lawsuits, but because of the aforementioned swearing-in tantrum Bruce technically wasn’t a legislator at the time he delivered the kick heard round the statehouse.

Here’s a question for State38 readers – should John Temple, the Rocky’s editor, sue Rep. Bruce?  Poll after the jump.

The poll is after the State 38 jump, not here. To vote, go there.
