“His campaign submitted 6,000 of the required 10,000, according to the suit. The lawsuit alleges that Perry’s 1st and 14th Amendment rights were violated by the requirement that those circulating the petitions also be eligible or registered voters of Virginia.”

His 1st and 14th Amendment rights were violated because Virginia required those circulating the petitions had to registered voters in Virginia?

Sorry Rick, that argument is not going to fly in any courtroom in the country.

Essentially all Perri Caliente is asking the courts to do is enforce their previous order but in his case. That's a very simple argument to make (which is undoubtedly why he chose to make that one), and it's a really good court to cite ~ since it's the Supreme Court.

So, now, "The Cooch" will need to respond to that on behalf of the Commonwealth ...... and he literally has it in his power to RUIN Romney.
