CNN — Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the two Georgia election workers who won a nearly $150 million verdict against Rudy Giuliani for defamation on Friday, have sued him again, asking a federal judge to permanently prohibit him from lying about them.

The lawsuit comes as Giuliani has continued to make false statements about their work as absentee ballot counters in the 2020 election.

We should dust off the old pillory I assume they probably have in the basement of any old courthouse.

I might even consider airfare and lodging to go down there to throw rotten tomatoes and cabbages at ol Rudy. They could market it and drive tourism!

Each day he spends at least 8 hours in the pillory (doesn't have to be continuous, but 8h total) removes 1 mil from his court decision, down to a minimum of 50 million remaining, for the victims.

At that point the 50 million is either seized from his assets or garnished from any income or enrichment he receives from that point until the debt is settled.
