The following was forwarded to me [Phil] by a contact with the Plaintiffs, Mr. Ankeny and Mr. Kruse, of Ankeny v. Daniels; it’s a fascinating “fly on the wall” account of the latest hearing in the eligibility saga:
Thursday, February 26, the Elector Suit in the State of Indiana came up for a motions hearing.
Counsel for the Governor had filed a motion to dismiss on the basis of mootness (all statutory requirements had been completed, too late for remedy), lack of subject-matter jurisdiction (failure to state a claim upon which the Court or Governor could grant relief) and laches (slept on our rights by bringing the suit too late).
Plaintiffs opposed the motion by suggesting the issues would never be moot and by invoking the exceptions to mootness, (1) the challenged action was too short in duration to fully litigate the issues and (2) there was a reasonable expectation the same complaint would result in the same action (capable of repetition yet evading review).

Sad to see the RINO governor covering for Obama. Sickening.
Here are Leo’s comments about this case plus people who post on Leo’s blog. Leo was very complimentary towards the plaintiffs. This may be the sleeper case.
