This is gonna work out just fine. When any one of the other suits...messing with the military votes...messing with the already mailed absentee votes...etc...gets ruled upon in one of the federal courts and reverses the whole situation....

It's gonna be hilarious. The DEMOCRATS will then have an absolute Daschle-style meltdown and scream and holler about the Supreme Court intervening to allow Lautenberg to stay on the ballot. But the Supreme Court has already said they don't choose to consider it. This is gonna be an absolute riot.

And I suspect that we'll find out that the Attorney General and the Solicitor General both told the court that there was no immediate problem they must rule on. Democrats just wanted to make their sore loser mantra about the Supreme Court a campaign issue. This takes it away from them...and the Democrats still have advertised to the entire country that the national Democratic Party condones changing the rules at the last minute.

This will get better and better...just be patient.

I wish I could share your optimism. With the USSC decision today, I highly doubt that the lower federal courts will find a problem with the absentee/military ballots.

The trouble with patience is that the "reality on the ground" of Lautenberg as the DemonRAT candidate is happening. It is VERY hard to overturn the "reality on the ground", especially one that you earlier assented to.

This issue was thrown out today by the federal district court in Trenton.
