Judge Carter has helped more than is readily apparent.

Remember that Berg's, Orly's, Donofrio's and Wrotowski's filings at the SCOTUS were "dismissed" without comment late last year and in January.

Well, we have a LOT of "comment" from Judge Carter and he's actually HELPED quite a bit here, especially when considering from a legal standpoint this case was a long-shot in his Jurisdiction and with the current interpretations of the Standing and "injury" in cases brought by voters and candidates as plaintiffs.

I point again to some of Judge Carter's final comments on Oct. 5: (from the 10-05-08 WaveyDavey report):

He turned to plaintiffs and said, I'm most
concerned about Standing.

To the defendants he said, I'm most concerned
about justicability, correct venue, political question,
and how far do the courts go.

He turned back to plaintiffs and said, if I rule
against you on standing, I would suggest ways to address
that issue in the future.

A LOT of the "game" in front of the judge is knowing how to frame the question. Judge Carter has helped to define the barriers — and those barriers CAN be breached on Appeal — IF the attorneys argue the correct Case Law to redefine the judges' objections.

Orly better start quoting Stevens on standing instead of Roberts and Scalia then.

YOU Rock! You offer some light in the midst of all those who are dancing w/the Muslims on this thread - the same old ones.

Thanks BP2 for the positive attitude.
