Courts let us down again

A Washington State judge has blown the election case, sending it to the State Supreme Court (where nothing will happen), because he can’t do arithmetic, and the US Supreme Court has shown that currying favor with social conservatives and big-government liberals is more important than getting the law right.

A Washington State judge has blown the election case, sending it to the State Supreme Court (where nothing will happen), because he can’t do arithmetic, and the US Supreme Court has shown that currying favor with social conservatives and big-government liberals is more important than getting the law right. It’s instructive for some of our readers to note that Scalia and Thomas came down on different sides of Gonzalez v.

  2. The “sampling technique” in question would have required illegal Gregoire voters to come to court and deliver testimony damaging to themselves personally and to the candidate of their choice.

    Not damn bloody likely.

  3. And without that, there’s no clear and convincing evidence.

    So, let’s agree- after all, it’s a matter of settled law, assuming no trial procedures were violated that can be overturned on appeal- that Governor Gregoire is our legal governor, right?

  4. Courts in other jurisdictions – Florida and Georgia – have accepted statistical evidence of illegal voting and overturned elections on that basis alone. It’s the only sensible way to adjudicate these cases.

    There is nothing legal about Gregoire’s governorship – she’s a squatter in the governor’s mansion because Ron Sims stole the election for her, and the judge in Wenatchee refused to do the right thing. He was obviously paid-off and should consider a career as a referee for professional wrestling.

    Washington is a hick state run by crooked yokels.
