So we have a Mob Princess running the house.
Disgusting...
Anyone know of a web link to the 1984 teft of the house seat? Good to know how this works so we can sound alarms.
I don't think they were mob. They just got into sleezy trouble at times.
Regarding 1984 election theft ............
A Federal appeals court, in a decision written by the Supreme Court nominee Antonin Scalia, on Tuesday dismissed a challenge to Representative Frank M. McCloskey's seat as the winner of one of the century's closest House elections.
A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia said the Constitution clearly made the House the only judge of who won an election to a House seat.
It upheld a Federal district judge who had dismissed the challenge by Mr. McCloskey's Republican opponent.
''We simply lack jurisdiction to proceed,'' Judge Scalia wrote. ''It is difficult to imagine a clearer case of 'textually demonstrable constitutional commitment' of an issue to another branch of government to the exclusion of the courts.''
After the first House-controlled vote recount in 24 years, the House in a party-line vote said Mr. McCloskey, a second-term Democrat, defeated Rick McIntyre by four votes, 116,645 to 116,641, in 1984. The two are facing a rematch this fall in Indiana's Eighth Congressional District.
