DC Madam? The one *they* made sure was dead so she couldn’t drop a dime on these sleazy politicians who go to prostitutes.

Every day I loathe these politicians even more.

This is Walker v. US all over again. On the day that the Electoral College chose Bush in 2000, I helped Bill Walker file his suit in federal court. I had spent the previous two years editing his brief, which was not brief at all. It filled two entire loose-leaf binders and was effectively a graduate level course in the history of Article V.

Judge John Coughenor in Seattle, a Reagan appointee, dismissed it for lack of standing and "futility." Appeals to higher federal courts were denied cert. Our own FReeper "Congressman Billybob," the late John Armour, a constitutional lawyer based in Asheville (NC), walked me through the logic and explained why no federal court would entertain such a suit. It had to do with the Single Subject provision, something not specifically mentioned in the Constitution, but understood as a function of contract law, with a tradition that spans over two centuries.

No federal court will agree to hear this case.

Sibley is no longer licensed to practice law.

Well we all know Mitch would have to go to a knocking shop to get any.

...constitutional convention...

An Article V Convention of the States is not a "constitutional convention."
