Perry's lawyers said a preliminary injunction was necessary since the deadline to print ballots in Virginia will be in two to three weeks.
“In the absence of a preliminary injunction, plaintiff will suffer irreparable harm,” per filing.
The case is Perry v. Judd, 3:11-cv-856, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia in Richmond.
“Don’t Mess with Texas!”
No, the article states they must support the "eventual Republican nominee" in the general Presidential election, basically meaning if they vote Newt in primary and Romney is the eventual nominee, then the oath requires them to support Romney in the Presidential.
Here in Texas you sign your Voter Registration Card as to which party's primary you voted in.
Here's more on the VA/Perry/Ballot dustup:
New thread: Perry files emergency motion to get name on Va. primary ballot
Let me get this straight, Rick Perry advocates States’ Rights when the courts intervene in the election process in Texas, but does opposes States’ Rights when he wants a court to intervene in the election process in Virginia?

If Perry gets a declaratory judgment that the VA ballot rules or the Va Republican Party’s manner of implementing them are unconstitutional, then Gingrich will benefit & gets another shot at getting on the VA ballot, even without mounting his own legal challenge.
So Gingrich gets the benefit, without getting mauled by the MSM (any more than he already has) for “whining.”
BTW, in about 15 minutes C-Span will replay Gingrich’s Town Hall Meeting in Iowa today:

“You’d rather just Romney and Paul be on the ballot just because VA decided to change the rules after the process was already underway?”
I would rather had each candidate follow the Virginia rules when gathering signatures for petitions.
And I would like someone to tell me how exactly those rules were different for Rick Perry and how Romney and Paul were treated more favorably by the Republican Party of Virginia.
“Perry’s suit is fighting for the PEOPLE of VA.”
If the “PEOPLE of VA” wanted Rick Perry on the ballot, they would have signed the petition to place Rick Perry on the ballot.
You think the people of VA are happy that Romney and Paul didn’t have their signatures looked at, at all?
Oops. I forgot Newt and Perry are not on the ballot in VA. Talk about trying to stack the deck for Romney.
Apparently, Paul and Romney turned in enough signatures or much more than the required number of 10,000 and more than the suggested number of 15,000 signatures.
I can see the VRP now..
Oh! Rons bucket is full to the top! you’re in!
Oh! Mitts bucket is full to the top! You’re in!
Hey!! Newt and Perrys buckets arent overflowing...
I think we will have a little look don’t you?
Do you know for a fact that the party gave preferential treatment to GOP Establishment Insiders like Romney and Ron Paul?
I’m sure that I’m not alone in this, if I had known more signatures were needed and had access to sign the petition I would have signed it. Given the restrictions on the petition circulators, I would have probably had to drive a good distance to find one.
I know for a fact that they did not scrutinize their signatures.
15K seems to give you a pass for cheatery in VA
Did armed agents of the Republican Party of Virginia prohibit citizens from signing Rick Perry’s petition?
Do you believe that of the 12k of signatures Perry submitted only 4K to 6K were valid?
That was the claim.
Which is it? 4K or 6K?
I call BS!
No,
And now they will face a lawsuit.
Romney and Paul’s signatures were deemed to meet the required 10,000/400 signatures.
I see you changed your tagline.
If Newt Gingrich cannot secure his name on the the internet, how could he be trusted to secure America?
