Sheesh, this guy just won't take "no" for an answer. He's like the anti-marriage crowd that lost on Proposition 8 in California and just can't accept reality. Here we go again.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Charlie King, the Leesburg attorney representing Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling), has filed to subpoena Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Chairman Scott York (R-At Large) in hopes of securing heaps of York's financial campaign data.
On Wednesday afternoon, King requested the following information from York: All bank statements for all campaign accounts from January 1, 2010 to the present; All deposit slips and records for all campaign accounts from January 1, 2010 to present; All check images for all campaign accounts from January 1, 2010 to present if not attached to the requested bank statements; All donor records for all campaign contributions, including, but not limited to, thank you letters, credit card processing statement and spreadsheets; and all receipts for all expenditures incurred from January 1, 2010 to present.
....
On Wednesday morning, Loudoun County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Horne denied the injunction request from Delgaudio, paving the way for the board Wednesday night to impose several powerful sanctions against Delgaudio for what a majority of board members determined to be improper political behavior while in office.

Delgaudios youthful attorney Charles King this afternoon announced that his deep-pocketed and resolutely innocent client will continue to seek to have the courts intervene and overturn the Boards decision, thereby guaranteeing that the matter drags on for months, at least.
The fact that the legal precedents are utterly against Eugene and that there is essentially no chance in the known universe for a court to second-guess a legislative bodys core legislative act of disciplining one of its own members an act that is protected by absolute legislative immunity from lawsuits, as a Federal appeals court held in a virtually identical case involving disciplinary action against an earlier ethically challenged Republican supervisor, in Loudoun County no less is of course irrelevant. To Eugene, politics is merely a stage set for his very lucrative business, which consists of mailing out hyperventilating warnings that the homos are taking over America, thereby shaking loose millions of dollars a year in contributions from frightened right-wing crazies (virtually none of whom live in the Sterling district he supposedly represents as a Loudoun supervisor) who peek nervously under their bedsheets every night to make sure there are no queers hiding there.
To those who think Eugene will admit anything, much less resign his office, they dont even begin to understand that this is exactly the kind of theatrics he excels in.
Its a fundraising tool. And as long as it keeps paying off, Eugene will keep fighting.
