2. You know, I was thinking that could be a good thing because if
they spread that article around and anyone reads the fine print it's obvious to anyone who knows the suit can be refiled. In fact, I think, if I remember correctly, the article lists some of the issues cited in our cause. Meantime, the word spreads like wildfire.

5. I have clients who love to talk about politics...
and they will often state something as fact which I know to be misinformation.

So I say, "Oh- you were watching Fox News?"

"How did you know?", they reply.

"Oh, because Fox tends to leave out information like..."
And then I fill them in on the REST of the story.

And we get back to work.

They downplayed it when it was filed. . but are all over it when it is delayed by a few days on a technicality. . .

The media is running from this story. But in the end we will win.

26. Nope..
it will be "Ohio Case REFILED".

The decision was legally correct and could not possibly be overturned. The most that would ever happen would be a decision that says "the decision was correct, but you weren't allowed to make it" that would remand the case back for the OTHER judge to throw out for the same reason.

11. DUMBASS DRUDGE SHOT HIMSELF IN HIS SLEAZY ASS...
He thinks this is checkmate, but the Dems just gave up a puny pawn in order to take down a king (or should I say dictator!).

12. This may be the biggest scandal yet! Lawyers will tell you
...that if Justice Moyer actually believed the Alliance for Democracy contest of election was in fact contesting *his own election* to a fourth term as Chief Justice (i.e., his race against C. Ellen Connally), he should have recused himself from the case *immediately*. That he did not do so may constitute an enormous ethical breach for which he could face state-level bar discipline. Why would he not recuse himself under these circumstances? For those who follow -- or work in -- the legal system, this is an outrage.

Mind you, I'm basing this analysis only on recent news reports of the story. However, if they're true, this is an enormous story that the mainstream media (with the possible exception of MSNBC's Dan Abrams -- maybe folks should e-mail him?) will almost certainly miss. Frankly, what it suggests more than anything is that Moyer -- an elected Republican, like Blackwell, like Bush -- was stalling the election-contest effort, and didn't, in fact, believe his own written opinion.

Again, this strikes me as serious stuff.

For more -- including an intentionally facetious headline, in order to draw attention to this remarkable story -- see the recent Nashua Advocate article at http://www.nashuaadvocate.blogspot.com

17. nashuaadvocate --
That's a very useful site you have there. The writing is very clear and to the point. Sometimes I give up on being able to follow the tread of meaning in all these unfolding events. I'll be checking in with your site regularly.

Welcome to DU.

19. Press was part of Arnebeck's plan
Getting people's awareness up through the media was part of his 3-pronged approach- seems like it's working- headlines everywhere and now people will want to see what the lawsuit claimed.

LOL! Fools! FREEPTARDS! FOOLS!!!!

Drudge took the bait and obviously is embarrassed by it. I also noticed that the freeper boards are surprisingly absent of a great republican "victory".
