This from Jesse Jackson doesn't sound promising. |

Am I wrong , or does it sound like we don't have a bat's chance in hell? 5 to 2 repug?
"An attorney for a political advocacy group on Wednesday plans to file a "contest of election." The request requires a single Supreme Court justice to either let the election stand, declare another winner or throw the whole thing out. The loser can appeal to the full seven-member court, which is dominated by Republicans 5-2.
Jackson said he agreed with the court filing planned by lawyer Cliff Arnebeck, who has represented the Boston-based Alliance for Democracy in other cases."

This ultimatum is a bad idea. It precludes a recount. Is this attorney a Republican?

To control the chain of power to cover and protect their scams. America is headed into the rabbit's black hole fast. For the still sleeping numbskulls out there the fun will get bumpy enough to wake, then frighten you. Enjoy the ride snookums.
