Clinton v. Obama: The Lawsuit (Will Florida Supreme Court decide who is the Dem Nominee?)

WSJ ^ | 2/11 | Ted Olson

[PetroniusMaximus]

Remember...

“This is the most important election of our lifetime.”

- H. Clinton

[Moral Hazard]

Maybe, but with Jeb Bush having appointed a couple of the Florida Supreme Court justices there would at least be a dissent pointing out how ridiculous the court looks this time.

Clinton is no longer nearly as popular with Democrats as Obama. Most of the Democrats are going to be really mad, if she’s nominated. She would be more easily defeated in the general election, though.

[MHGinTN]

Stupid premise ... the super delegates will determine the dem nominee.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

"That Obama is sooooo hot right now. Let's vote for him."

[familyop]

That’s good...really good! LOL!

[familyop]

IMO, it's time to contribute some historical ugly to the contemporary ugly. Democrats, especially feminist leaders among them, are shrewd racists.

Constitutional Argument:
Speech After Being Convicted Of Voting
In The 1872 Presidential Election
by Susan B. Anthony

Excerpt:

An oligarchy of learning, where the educated govern the ignorant, or even an oligarchy of race, where the Saxon rules the African, might be endured; but this oligarchy of sex, which makes father, brothers, husband, sons, the oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and daughters, of every household - which ordains all men sovereigns, all women subjects, carries dissension, discord, and rebellion into every home of the nation.

Susan B. Anthony went on to travel and speak with the Democrat racist, George Train. She refused to advocate against lynchings.

I’m glad your mentioned Jeb Bush. I believe Jeb Bush may be John McCain’s VP come this November.

[Joe Boucher]

If this becomes the scene it will turn off so many Obamma voters that Mrs. Clinton will get her clock cleaned in the general.
She is disliked and distrusted by a near majority of the populace at this point. She will really appear terribly if she goes through this kind of crap to win the nomination
Course she couldn’t be lower in my esteem regardless of what she may do in the near future.
She is a liar, thief, enabler of a serial sexual pervert and imho has had many folks who offed who tried to go against her sorry butt.

it would be great to see another Bush in the White House, but I don't think that's going to happen.

And it's good that you don't see Jeb as pres. He's proven impotent in the face of the Euthenasia machine.

And, florida did what it wanted to do (and what it always did) the entire time he was governor: bought and sold souls.

[the invisib1e hand]

Florida: saw it off and cut it away.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

I actually think there is a stronger case to be made for upholding the DNC rule against the early Florida primary.

The DNC, like the RNC, is a private organization like the Odd Fellows or, in this case, the Liar's Club. That is why the two parties fought, and won, in court when the State of California presumed to pass a law requiring open primaries in that state. The constitutional right of free association does not permit the state to decide what a club's rules are.

Consequently SCOTUS could, and IMHO would, overturn the SCoFLaws if they tried to change the rules of the national Democratic Party without any need to reference Bush v. Gore. Probably unanimously.

But Olsen's point about how Hillary's attempt to change the DNC's rules post hoc, after having fussed and fumed about the Electoral College back in '00, is a delicious irony.

[ricks_place]

Electing Hillary is much more important than rules.

[tips up]

Doubt it. Too much Bush fatigue. Similar to Clinton fatigue.

[mware]

The super delegates in NJ are already preparing to jump the HMS Hillary.

You are correct. By the DNC rules there were no primaries.

It logically and legally follows that if there was no primary, there was no winner and there are no delegates.

[Doc91678]

Should they begin tallying up chads again. Just love the Dem Party. Can’t even stick to their own rules. They just have to keep changing the goal post to suit themselves.
