And occasionally runs for an office and loses.

When and where???

‘When was the last time the GOP did anything but roll over and play dead every time 0bama wanted to do anything?’

Obamacare (all). The Stimulus (nearly all), Cap and Trade (nearly all), The new finance law (nearly all).

“And occasionally runs for an office and loses.

From Wiki (there’s more at Wiki):

Political campaigns
Anthony Martin grew up as a Democrat, and served as an intern to Senator Paul Douglas in the summer of 1966. In 1977, he ran in a special election for mayor of Chicago, losing to acting mayor Michael Bilandic.

Over the years, he has run for various offices in Connecticut, Florida and Illinois as a Democrat, a Republican and an independent. Among them:

U.S. Senator from Illinois, 1978 (Democratic primary)
U.S. Senator from Illinois, 1980 (Democratic primary)
U.S. House from Connecticut, 1986 (Republican primary)
President of the United States, 1988 (Democratic primary)
Governor of Florida, 1990 (Republican primary)
U.S. House from Florida, 1992 (Republican primary)
Florida State Senate, 1996 (unsuccessful Republican nominee)
U.S. Senator from Florida, 1998 (Republican primary)
President of the United States, 2000] (Republican primary)
U.S. Senator from Florida, 2000 (unsuccessful independent candidate)
U.S. Senator from Illinois, 2004 (Republican primary, removed from ballot according to Illinois State Board of Elections)
U.S. Senator from Florida, 2004 (Republican primary)
Governor of Illinois, 2006 (Republican primary)
U.S. Senator from Illinois, 2008 (Republican primary)
U.S. Senator from Illinois, 2010 (Republican primary)
His 1996 run for the Florida State Senate came unraveled when it was revealed that he’d named his campaign committee for his 1986 congressional run “The Anthony R. Martin-Trigona Congressional Campaign to Exterminate Jew Power in America.” The revelation led the state Republican Party to renounce him. Just before the election, he assaulted two cameramen from WPTV, the NBC affiliate in West Palm Beach. He was convicted of criminal mischief and sentenced to a year in jail. He was freed pending appeal, but made personal attacks on the judge while on the way out of the courtroom. The judge held Martin in criminal contempt of court and sentenced him to seven months in jail. However, he was mistakenly let out of jail after only a month. Martin never returned, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. If he is ever arrested, he will have to serve 16 months in jail.[8] The warrant was still outstanding at least as of the time of Martin’s 2008 Senate run, but he said the issue is being “resolved.”[12]

During his 2000 run for president, he accused George W. Bush of using cocaine. In 2003, several months before Saddam Hussein was captured, he claimed to have found the former Iraqi dictator’s hideout.[8]

Martin was a 2010 Republican candidate for U.S. Senator in Illinois for the seat being vacated by Sen. Roland Burris. The Illinois primary was conducted on February 2, 2010.[13] In December 2009, Martin ran radio ads which included Martin requesting that one of his opponents, Republican Mark Kirk, answer claims about his sexuality made by Illinois Republican Jack Roeser.[14] The Illinois Republican Party Chairman Patrick Brady subsequently announced “The Illinois Republican Party disavows the statements made today by Mr. Andrew Martin in his statewide radio advertisements...Mr. Martin will no longer be recognized as a legitimate Republican candidate by the Illinois Republican Party.”[14][15] Martin returned 37,359 votes, five percent of the total votes.[16]

U.S. Senator from Illinois, 2004 (Republican primary, removed from ballot according to Illinois State Board of Elections)

Hmmmmm, an axe to grind with 0 and his dirty tactics perhaps?

I haven't seen anything on that suit. However, all U.S. Citizens can join this one:

Obamacare Class Action Lawsuit

"The purpose of this lawsuit is to reverse Supreme Court precedent related to the Commerce clause and thereby overturn Obamacare. The Supreme Court has historically erred in its interpretation of the Constitutional role of the Federal Government. Recent Supreme Court rulings hint that they may be willing to take another look at Commerce clause precedent. Obamacare is so over reaching and so onerous, that it must either be repealed in Congress or struck down in the courts. We must fight this on both fronts. This is our historic opportunity to reverse America’s trend toward Socialism by overturning this unconstitutional precedent.

If you are a US citizen and agree with the goal of this lawsuit, please join us. If you have concerns about joining, please review the FAQs for more information. Every person we add strengthens the voice of "We the People".

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

It is a never ending vicious cycle of corruption.

The GOP will start trials of investigation and impeachment

-—COMING: In November-—

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/07/the_democrats_worst_nightmare.html

My prediction: Obama will use Alinsky rules to say they are attacking him because they are racist and it is there fault
he did nothing and “he wants to get on with the peoples true concerns.”

Then look for Hillary to slide in and go fake moderate and say she will save the world with slick Willy and the same EXACT criminal cronies in the current administration.

From Martin’s keyboard to God’s eyes... Make it be so!

[xzins]

Is there a possibility that the Scotus will interject itself into anything? I doubt it. Their processes simply don’t work like that.

[theDentist]

OIK, but the big question is: When? When are they going to hear/decide on these issues? 2011? 2012? 2016?

[Trust but Verify]

Am I missing something? Since when does the Supreme Court “gather evidence” in the absence of a specific issue they are ruling on? Doesn’t a case have to be brought before them for their consideration, and that would only be after the case made its way through the lower court system?

Prescisely my question. The last I knew, cases challenging these Obama policies/illegalities have to be brought all the way through the federal court suystem. The SCOTUS does not investigate and originate federal lawsuits. I'm surprised you were the first to raise this point on this thread.

[Trust but Verify]

The court cannot act without a case being presented to them. Good grief, where have people’s brains gone?

[Trust but Verify]

The answer is NO. They have no power to act on anything other than a case being presented to them by a plaintiff. The drooling over this article tells me some people have lost their minds.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Second, sources state that the Roberts court has quietly accepted information concerning discrepancies in Obama's history that raise serious questions about his eligibility for the office of President. The charge goes far beyond the birth certificate issue. This information involves possible fraudulent use of a Social Security number in Connecticut, while Obama was a high school student in Hawaii. And that is only the tip of the iceberg.

Call me all the BIRTHER names you like I don't give a damn but WILL SOMEONE answer to this?

[r9etb]

The only thing missing in this alluring story is .... cases before the court on which the Supremes can rule.

Call me when these rumors turn into lawyers actually arguing before the Court.

[bamahead]

Obama publicly declared war on the court, even as he blatantly continued to propose legislation that flies in the face of every known Constitutional principle upon which this nation has stood for over 200 years.

The reason I asked you is; are we talking about the same Anthony Martin, the author of the article, or Andy Martin???

[Mr. Wright]

WILL NOT HAPPEN , , ,

Only way this will ever happen is if the State-run, Liberal-left media becomes a willing accomplice to get him out. We all know that will never, ever happen. The media is in bed with this guy and will do whatever it takes to protect him.

[bfree]

I disagree. Hillary will be getting ready to challenge him in the primaries and she OWNS the press.

[STARWISE]

Pity: so much FR space .. so needlessly used
.. so misdirected.
