Obama campaign urges Supreme Court to let early voting ruling stand and not hear Ohio’s appeal
Associated Press ^ | Oct 13, 2012

President Barack Obama’s campaign is urging the U.S. Supreme Court not to consider an appeal in a dispute over early voting in the presidential battleground state of Ohio.

A lower court had reinstated early voting on the three days before Election Day and returned discretion to local boards of elections.

Secretary of State Jon Husted (HYOO’-sted), a Republican, has appealed that ruling. He’s also asked the Supreme Court to delay the lower court ruling while it decides whether to take the case.

Attorneys say the Obama campaign submitted a court filing

The dems are preparing to contest the elction results in Ohio, even before the vote has been taken. At least Hal Gorp

And the liberal fascist Obama campaign will call for rioting in the streets if the lose in Ohio.The state might as well start preparing the Ohio National Guard right now.

Prediction: Obama will create a national emergency to declare martial law to suspend the election and extend his reign if he sees he’s going to lose the election...

If he does that he better be prepared to live out his days in the White House bunker and never let his face be seen on the street. And he also be ready to execute every active duty fighter pilot to keep to keep one from getting in the air with a JDAM locked onto the GPS coordinates of the Oval Office.

No problem, the Chief Justice has already shown that he is a marxist and someone who hates freedom and our constitution. The first order of business in the Romney admin. should be his impeachment.

“the Chief Justice has already shown that he is a marxist and someone who hates freedom and our constitution”


You know, when you throw that ridiculous “marxist” accusation around like that about Roberts it makes it impossible for us to educate people as to what a real Marxist is.

I spent an hour and a half listening to the oral arguments regarding the critical affirmative action case the Supreme Court is deciding right now. Roberts was WONDERFUL, as was Scalia. And you could definitely identify the MARXIST qualities of Sotomayer and Ginsburg.

If you care to listen or read the transcript:

The next 4 years will bring 2 or possibly even 3 new Supremes. If Obama stays in office, they will be more Sotomayers and Kagans and we can just throw in the towel with an enormously “progressive” Supreme Court for decades.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, age 79 (and fighting pancreatic cancer)
Antonin Scalia, age 76
Anthony Kennedy, age 75
Stephen Breyer, age 74
Clarence Thomas, age 64
Samuel Alito, age 62
Sonia Sotomayor, age 58
John Roberts, age 57
Elena Kagan, age 52

Romney named Robert Bork the head of his Judicial Advisory Comittee. Jay Sekulow is also a Romney advisor.

“Mitt Romney deeply understands that the rule of law and the integrity of our courts are essential components of our nation’s strength and must be preserved. He will nominate judges who faithfully adhere to the Constitution’s text, structure, and history and he will carry out the duties of President as a zealous defender of the Constitution. We fully support Mitt Romney’s campaign and look forward to working with other members of the committee as we advise him on today’s pressing legal issues.” (Judge Robert Bork in joint statement)

Well the Guard will do according to our Governor`s wishes, but the rest of us Ohioans will do what we have to. The zombies will have a tough time if they rampage around my community.

No offense but be wary of Robert Bork. He's no friend of the Second Amendment.
Although an opponent of gun control, Bork has denounced what he calls the "NRA view" of the Second Amendment, something he describes as the "belief that the constitution guarantees a right to Teflon-coated bullets." Instead, he has argued that the Second Amendment merely guarantees a right to participate in a government militia.
The fact is that Bork is a clear believer of that 'State Right' nonsense that the gun-grabbing leftists on SCOTUS believe in. As such, it's good thing he did get 'Borked' by the drunken sot Kennedy.

Ergo, when it comes to the Second Amendment, PRESIDENT Romney better listen to Vice President Ryan, and not Robert Bork.

But how ironic is that, Ted Kennedy's actions actually torpedoed his fellow gun-grabbers. Bet he got drunk as a skunk at the 'Hell's Hot Lounge and Nudie Bar' when Heller v DC came down. Then to add insult to injury its followed by McDonald v Chicago.

judges are trained to ignore people. They pride themselves on disregardign everything but their own arrogance.

Politicians are trained to listen to what people say and pretend to be doing it.

Like I said on another post. They better not stray to far from the city.
If they do I have a feeling they are in for a big surprize.

“...Prediction: Obama will create a national emergency to declare martial law to suspend the election and extend his reign if he sees he’s going to lose the election...”

If he had the backing of the majority of the military, I’d say that was plausible.

However...he doesn’t yet have a “Red Army” behind him, and eventually, Officers will remember their oath.

Plus a whole bunch of former military, LEOs, and civilians.

I disagree that Bork is no friend to the Second Amendment. This is Bork in “Slouching Towards Gomorrah:Modern Liberalism and American Decline”

“As law professor Daniel Polsby demonstrates, “the conventional wisdom about guns and violence is mistaken. Guns don’t increase national rates of crime and violence - the continued proliferation of gun control laws almost certainly does.”

“Gun control shifts the equation in favor of the criminal. Gun control proposals are nothing more than a modern liberal suggestion that government, which is unable to protect its citizens, make sure that citizens cannot defend themselves.”

http://www.dadi.org/bork.htm


And you mentioned Heller vs. DC, Robert Bork signed an amicus brief SUPPORTING Heller.
