if we have a scenario where the mother s boyfriend who is a contractor moves the embers in a dangerous wea situation how s the city of stamford to blame? i understand your point as far as causation. there are contributing factors. you don t have to demonstrate that the city is 100% at fault here. judge jeanine: contributory negligence? exactly. what about causation. you have to prove there was a cause-and-effect. there is a major causal connection between the manner of the fire and the lack of the city doing their job issuing permits allowing them to move in there. and i hear are you, a good argument. it was broken the minute they spent the night in there without the proper smoke detectors and without the proper things being done. what jumps out at me is that the father doesn t see a deep pocket. the boyfriend doesn t have any money and there is nobody else to sue and now he is looking to the city and i think that is inappropriate.

as lawyers go he s considered a deep pocket. so that s a situation that exists here x it s going to be and it s going to be, at least a minimum he s going to have to buy these people a new home as far as i can see. alisyn: oh, my gosh. obviously, in hot water, and it s a cautionary tale for the rest of us to be responsible on twitter and social media. greg, thanks so much for coming on. my pleasure. alisyn: a dollar and a dream and a dynamite accountant. that s all you need to be the next megamultimillionaire. we re eyeing one of the largest lottery jackpots in history next. how much time do i have to go out and buy a ticket? plus, the day the music died for the world of bluegrass. the amazing legacy of the late earl scruggs just ahead.

have dipped if their wallets and there is only so much you can go back to those guys and that is part of the reason that the obama team said okay maybe we should bless the super pac s because we have dried the well, there is no more money left. or very little. but, still, they are stockpiling cash and the four republican candidates going at it at a fast clip. neil: but there is no shortage of cash. even if the republican race, say what you will of newt gingrich if he has sheldon by his side who can write out $1 million or $2 million or $5 million checks that is enough to keep you going. and foster is doing the same with rick santorum and that is a fairly deep pocket. guest: yes, and the democrats are worried about the republicans and the outside groups on the g.o.p. side. but come the fall with the super pac s they have not had it good with the track record so far on
