3. I think he/she means...
(and I am guessing) that by them throwing out the case, the media will be all over it - finally giving our story legs and we refile correctly. Do I win a prize?

5. Not only that, but Moyers
put himself in precarious legal/ethical position... he should have recused himself immediately... not doing so means he gave a judgement, directly or indirectly, on a law suit where he was a defendent... grounds for disbarment.

10. berni, did that judge just did not read the complaint? Is that why he
ruled on it? Or, was he just trying to be above the law like everyone else in the Ohio courts and pushing his luck? I'm confused about this guy's idiocy. Thanks.

12. I think he was damned if he did, and damned if he didn't
If he recuses... then another, less conservative judge gets the case... which would have been much better for him than what he did do, but bad if he wants to keep Bush (and himself) the winner of the election.

At any rate, the MSM media picked up on it WAY TOO FAST without considering the implications... which I think was the ultimate goal.

The link posted above has a good summary of the implications (legal/ethical and case-wise) of the judgement.

13. My question to you Bernie is who is going to punish him?
And pleeeeeez don't say the repugs! Seriously, I'm praying you're right but I've got my hopes up so many times it hard not to be squeamish.

Blackwell and this judge are acting as if they are above the law! What do they know that we don't?

23. A, good point
The only hope here is that the ABA will step in...

This is the problem when one group controls all branches of the gov't...

4. We should be kind to freepers
Edited on Thu Dec-16-04 11:00 PM by Erika
It's such a burden to so challenged. Intellectually and morality wise.

On the other hand, their kind supports Bush, who is tearing our country down and apart brick by brick.

because it's unkind to those who are mentally disabled by birth or accident rather than by their idiotic political choices!

15. Originally referring to a denizen of the Free Republic
website, the term has come to have a more generic meaning, and is used to refer to any Right Wing disruptor who comes on to this site, as well as referring to RW wackos in general.

21. They are from freerepublic.com. They are like Nazis. They adore the
Chimp and like the fascism that is on the rise in the U.S. They like the Nazi playbook because they advocate violence with anyone who underminds the Chimp and questions the Chimp's authority. Not all of them are Reich Wingers. Some are though. There are women who are pro-lifers. One of these twits posted a prayer on there that she wrote after Christopher Reeve's death, saying something like she was glad that one of God's babykillers was dead (Stem Cell Research thing). Nevermind that their precious Chimp has killed countless pregnant Iraqi women with our bombs over a bunch of lies, but they be damned if anyone wants to benefit from Stem Cell Research. They are automatic babykillers!

24. Some of them are more subtle than others
but generally they post RW talking points. Often they will show up in the form of war apologists, pretending to be progressives, but giving neocon type defenses of why the war was such a good idea. Those ones sometimes pretend to be soldiers.

Others ask "innocent" questions repeating RW talking points, ostensibly to have them refuted, sometimes posting the RW email that their brother sent them.

Some build up their post count with innoccuous posts in the lounge and then when they've been here a respectable amount of time and gotten a respectably high post count, start spouting RW talking points.

Some pretend to be Greens, and run around urging people to abandon the Democratic party. Some of them just like to sow discord by posting flamebait.

The majority of them are pretty obvious and get tombstoned very quickly. A handful have actually lasted months or even years and racked up thousands of posts.

Generally, if you see someone spouting RW crap, you should alert the mods. They usually get taken care of pretty quickly.

This post is not intended as a "how to" guide.

25. I understand the logic of this...
But how are we sure that even if the Chief Justice gets shitcanned that it's going to fall on the shoulders of a "less conservative" justice? I know it will be one less repuke, but we're still outnumbered 2 to 1. Do we know that the next justice in line to take his place isn't one of them?

29. It's curious to what's going on here isn't it?
:-)

I'm not going to conjecture anything, as I'm not a lawyer; but it's obvious that Arnebeck counted on this and had planned it as part of his strategy.

What his end-game is going to be we'll have to wait and see, but it sure as hell just went to a whole new level of interest.

As said above... the MSM has finally picked up on the fraud issue by reporting the "Toss-Out"; and they are the ones that have appeared to been used the most in this maneuver.

it's a much better explanation than an attitude of invincibility... Freepers are also very insecure.
