“In the end the judge decided.”
The people of Virginia decided how they wanted to run their primaries, but agitators from out of state took the people of Virginia to federal court in an attempt to have a Federal Judge of the Judicial Activist persuasion, force the good people of Virginia to hold a primary as prescribed by the federal government.
In the end, States’ Rights and the 10th Amendment won in the courtroom!
Agree with your sentiment, but the ruling was that the plaintiffs simply waited too long to bring suit. Had it been earlier, outcome might have been different.
I just hate seeing Romney and Ron Paul being able to compete free of other potential candidates.
