Last fall, Saxby Chambliss was served with a subpoena by Savannah attorney Mark Tate, who wanted to question the Republican Senator “on whether Imperial Sugar enlisted his help to defend the company after the Feb. 7, 2008, explosion that killed 14 workers and injured dozens more” as part of his lawsuit against Imperial.
According to the Daily Report, “Senate attorneys argued that the U.S. Constitution gives Chambliss immunity from being questioned about official business in civil lawsuits.”
State Court Judge Hermann Coolidge agreed, issuing a one-paragraph opinion on Monday throwing out the subpoena. I guess we’ll never know if Saxby was a “sugar” daddy to Imperial in the wake of the blast or not… (okay, I couldn’t help that one 
).
