01.19.09 FR: Bush Commutes Sentences of Two Border Agents Convicted of Shooting Drug Dealer
- - Despite the great news today, this matter is not over. First, it will be two months before Ramos and Compean are released from prison for time served. Second, many GOP Interests still support attempting to overturn these two border agents convictions before the SCOTUS. Third, there is good support from the majority of U.S. Congress Republicans and a number of Democrats to change the federal firearms discharge law to better protect border patrol agents doing their job in the line of duty.

Fair is FaiR. Right?
If they can double count FRanken ballots, Heck, let’s open anything that even looks like a valid ballot..
Does anyone know what the court’s options are? Can they order a revote?
Is their review de novo or do the reverse only for abuse of discretion?
Good for Coleman
Unfortunately Coleman is done.
The ballots will not be reviewed and the judges have their orders to block Coleman and any turn.
The people who cast the votes do not decide an election,
the people who count the votes do.

I find your comment interesting. So many conservatives are disappointed and dismayed because the republicans never fight back. One acts like he may have a spine and you suggest he shouldn’t waste his time or money.
I agree
My thoughts exactly. Norm Coleman may not be a great Republican, but he seems willing to FIGHT. That’s a START.
Aint gonna happen. The court consists of a liberal, an “independent” and a rino. Coleman’s toast.
What Coleman’s legal team should have done is sue to have all the votes cast on the same-day registration re-examined for authenticity. There’s considerable speculation that thousands of recent immigants (read, non-citizens) were told they could vote on election day by ACORN by simply waiting to register at the polls. There is no citizen check at that time.
Since Coleman is supposedly behind by 225 votes, I would bet he could uncover thousands of ACORN-registered illegally cast votes.
There is no way to match registration forms with ballots. It’s not called a secret ballot for nothing.
In any case, Minnesota’s had same day registration since 1976. Coleman would have been better off spending his money waging a more effective campaign, then he would not have been in this mess.
Hail Mary pass.
The facts are, from GOP Interests heavily involved in this matter, Coleman is on excellent legal footing in this battle, but will probably have to fight it out in the Federal Courts. The fact is, with the Papa Bush Cartel final out of National GOP control, with this being Ws finally day in office (thank God), the GOP Interests are now substantially more powerful to fight the Democrats-Soros Shadow Party. And by design, we have the largest cash reserves in over a decade. The current cash situation is part of the New GOP plan committed to privately by GOP Interests and certain PACs at CPAC 2008. #snip#
While the New GOP groundwork has been laid, realistically nothing could be done to start the long process of rebuilding the National GOP until we got rid of the Papa Bush Cartel, W, and the repulsive RINO McCain presidential express. #snip#
Win or lose, Franken and the D-SSP are not going to steal this U.S. Senate election. At this juncture, the GOP Interests are prepared to fight this battle all the way to the SCOTUS. Three reasons for this position are as follows: #snip#
Fight on, Sen. Coleman.
Anything to get rid of Soros and Company.
Norm is moderate rino, exactly what the Republican leadership thinks is the winning ideal. The Dems and independents rallied to reelect Norm... or Not.
Norm's problem is that he played "prevent defense" while, in my opinion, Franken Democrats were busily playing offense and creating found votes. If Franken "found" a thousand votes, Norm should have "found" two thousand votes.
Waste of time. The fix was in a long time ago.
Very good observation. Every Republican and conservative should be cheering him on. All the whining is getting very tiresome.
Everytime a vote gets overturned by a recount.. we should all be put on red alert.
