I'm not saying I condone the practice, just pointing out the double standard.

7. Groups sue 5 GOP lawmakers over email records

Two groups sued five Republican lawmakers Monday alleging they violated the state's open records law by declining to say whether they searched their personal email accounts for contacts with a conservative organization that works with corporations to draft legislation.
