"Obviously, you didn't read the article."
I not only read the article, but the law regarding it, which from you obviously had not from your abrupt change from the 1st amendment defence to equal protection.
" He didn't realize" and "they (wrongly) figured" dosent change the FACTS.
At this point, would you allow someone to enter the contest as a candidate if they simply said "I didn't realize I had to apply by a certain date ?"
"It's not that big an issue,..." Obviously not to McClintock, since he did not even take the time to figure out just what it was he was doing.
... and I suppose he brought it to the courts because his lawyers needed some more practice ( again obviously, since they did not even have the evidence they might have needed)
Equal protection also means the rights of the other 190 odd candidates who read, understood and followed the procedures to have opponants who are not given special consideration simply because they " did not realize" or wrongly figured.
Actions have consequences, and if Tom and his team can't understand and follow simple directions....

>>>I not only read the article, but the law regarding it, which from you obviously had not from your abrupt change from the 1st amendment defence to equal protection.I haven't changed my tune. The way I read it, it's an infringement on McClintock's first amendment right of free speech and his right to equal treatment under law.
I can't think of a good reason why any conservative would deny another conservative his rights under law and condone the outrageous behavior of California's liberal Democratic majority.
