YIPPEE! Apparently SD judges aren't corrupt like Florida's.
NOT true. Tom Thumb and the judge are in fact ol' buds. The judge was castrated because of the late rulings in Ohio favoring Pubbies. The good people of S Dakota were also on the streets in the dead of night supporting the soon-to-be new Pubbie senator from S Dakota. Thousands following the live action on the web was a huge factor also IMO. If fact, the judge at one point commented about the proceedings going out on the WWW. Apparently he didn't like the light of day exposing their shenanigans.
