We’ll find out on 10/23/08 when dispositive motions will be heard...
I agree - it is doubtful Judge Sumi will help the GOP - she is known as a liberal judge who supported Loophole Louis Butler’s FAILED re-election bid. Hopefully Van Hollen would somehow use the 6th circuit decision in Ohio as precedent but I don’t think there is enough time to appeal 12 days or so before the election (dispositive motions are 10/23/08 and this will probably be dismissed). I was shocked by the number of unions that joined in the lawsuit....just sad.
LOL - court clerks type the court access entries so fast they tend to have typos.
