If the State Supreme Court hands this election contest to the Democrats, the next avenue of appeal would be directly to the US Supreme Court. But as we saw in the Lautenberg-New Jersey mess, SCOTUS does not like getting involved in state election issues. It's unlikely they would take the case unless issues related to the 14th Amendment (and the 2000 presidential election) could be raised.
One good thing is at least the education liberals won't get their liberal agenda against education in yet. Such would be detrimental to the strong community feeling for education in my hometown.
If you heard her speech today, she committed to "cost of living raises" for all public school teachers as a sop to the education lobby and unions. This while the state is $500+ million underfunded in its budget.
She did this without suggesting how taxes will be raised to pay for it...
That should not have been done. However, I will not argue that teachers don't deserve more in some locations at least (I think that in some other locations that they are paid just fine). It's the exact opposite budget (and political) situation in my state. The education liberals are doing all they can against public education.
I think it depends on the Washington supreme court. I have heard it said on earlier threads that they are liberal, but that some of them might have twinges of conscience. Now that Gregoire is in office, however, it would be extraordinary if they took any action.
As for SCOTUS, I am extremely doubtful they would act to overrule the state court. They did it in Florida, but they will not want to do it again, because they got four years of abuse from the media and all their liberal friends as a reward for doing the right thing. That's why they refused to overrule the corrupt decision of the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
Her husband has always given me the creeps. There's something sinister and sneaky in those eyes.
One racketeer being sworn in by another racketeer.
This has GOT to be frustrating !!!!!!!!! If I still lived there, I'd be demonstrating every day.
I guess it's important to take this one step at a time and first see what happens on Friday in Chelan county court and to do everything possible (including prayer) to thwart this illegal election of Gregoire. Perhaps prayer of Christians across this nation is what is needed most to overturn this illegal & fraudulent election.
The Bible says that "Righteousness exalts a nation and sin is reproach to any people". As I wrote & told Commissar Sam Reed, someday he and all corrupt government officials will kneel in judgement before the Lord God Almighty for their corrupt actions or abdication of civic & governmental stewardship as defined in the Word of God. Reed & DemoRATS & others can mock or scorn this in this life, but someday they will be held accountable and judged for their actions.

Oregon now has 65 mph speed limit. The southeastern quarter of Oregon is empty, and in pratice you can drive about as fast as you want. Police don't sit out there waiting to give tickets to the two cars an hour on the road.
She stole the election. Anyone who has kept up with the FACTS knows this. It's laughable that she ignores the fraud and accepts the swearing-in.
She not only needs to not be governor, someone needs jailtime.
It tempts me to cynicism....
First, it shows what would have happened had not the U.S. Supreme Court stopped the corrupt Democrat controlled supreme court from continuing the Gore recount.
Second, It shows the importance of the electorial college and why the Democrats want to get it removed.
Finally, it reveals what seems to be the Democratic blue print for stealing elections, disallow military vote, control Supreme Court, stash ballots in safe districts.
Well, there we go, now Washington has been certified as corrupt.
DITTO
It is hard to even imagine how difficult it would be to have this woman in our face for four years.
