3- 27-08 Judge Ruled Michigan Primary Unconstitutional

On March 27, 2008 a federal judge ruled that Michigan's law that placed the primary on January 15th was unconstitutional and a re vote would be needed. It is up to the Michigan legislature to create a valid law for a re vote. To date they have not done so.

Five Candidates removed their names from the Michigan Primary. Only Clinton and Dodd, allowed their names to remain on the ballot. Kuchinich tried to remove his name, but was not able to meet the deadline.

Does Clinton plan to profit from a primary that had been ruled illegal and unconstitutional? Is this what we what in a President? I don't. I am tired of our elected officials violating the Constitution. That is the major complaint of the current occupant of the white house. What hypocrites to complain about Bush violating the constitution, but not one peep about Clinton planing to profit majority of delegates from an illegal primary.
