Churchill files suit

The Rocky's "full story":

The next chapter in Ward Churchill's saga has officially begun.

His attorney, David Lane, filed suit in Denver District Court this morning as an amendment to a case filed last year.

Churchill was dismissed yesterday on a 8-1 vote.

"If you think I'm the end game, you're wrong," Churchill told supporters yesterday, shortly after the announcement.

Here's the filing (pdf).

Charges:

1. CU launched the investigation in retaliation for Churchill's 9/11 essay.

2. CU terminated Churchill in retaliation for the 9/11 essay.

3 and 4. CU unlawfully breached Churchill's contract in failing to comply with university procedures. This includes three sections on CU's failure to pay Churchill's lawyer David Lane $20,000 Lane thinks the university owes him.

5 and 6: CU denied Churchill procedural and substantive due process.

As certain prescient folks (i.e., me, somewhere or other, I swear) predicted, Lane wants a jury trial in Denver.
