72. Nice piece.
Hi Pat K,

Nice piece. I agree that we should not forget the concept of "consent of the governed," but many still believe that this election was adequate. We are, believe it or not, in the minority, which is were the laws really do matter.

The trick in the courts is to aim the argument so deeply into our value system as to shock the conscience of the courts as we expose the actions of those who wish to strip away at the integrity of our vote. We can't let them beat us on some procedural ground, either. We need to aim right and press hard.

No doubt, if the most potent arguments actually make it before the court, either precedent will be set, or it will be obvious to all that our democratic way of living has been raped and pillaged.

Just some thoughts... :)

Warmly,

George
