Summary:

Bush Asks Judge to Toss Ohio Election Suit

By Andrew Welsh-Huggins / Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio - President Bush's re-election campaign asked the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court on Monday to throw out a challenge of the election in this swing state, saying the case resembles "a poorly drafted script for a late night conspiracy-theory movie."

The court filing was made as the Rev. Jesse Jackson held a rally before hundreds of people in Columbus to support the challenge and urge the U.S. Senate to debate Ohio's results on Thursday when Congress is in joint session for the official tally of the electoral votes.

My comment:
Hmmmm. Bush campaign officially feeling the heat?

2. Wouldn't it be great?
But alas, I don't think Chimpy-Boy is losing any sleep over those 37 folks.

(A good way to find out is to do a search with the article title as the thread subject)

That said I'll take a kick on this story anyday--this meddling of the execs with the judiciary is OBSCENE.

Oh, and welcome to DU, DOTF! :bounce: :toast: :bounce:

4. Thanks! I just noticed it myself. Sorry!
There's also a good article there about how the W2 is receiving criticism both from within and from outside regarding the unprecedented bumbling and rocky start it's gotten itself off to.

7. Well, that confirms it...

"Conspiracy theory" is now a Rethuglican talking point. Now WhatsHisName is swiping at the voters' knees. Will he bring out the equivalent of the Swift Boat Liars for Truth to fight the voters next?

What do you think of a U.S. president asking an already-biased state supreme court justice to throw out a case filed on behalf of 37 voters?
