There ya go ! A pingaroo!

Good work. I hope this can be pursued and justice done.
Not holding my breath - though I'd be elated if it IS !

Yup. We need some BARRED legal eagles to get creative and think outside the box.

Most plain vanilla lawyers will complain that it is difficult to find standing and justiciability here. First, plaintiff class is, obviously, HUGE. However, I'd point out that there is no encroachment amongst the political branches here; an ordinary citizen cannot be left powerless, without remedy, when a public official endangers the public safety and welfare and his peers in the legislative branch will not hold him accountable.

In Baker v. Carr, the rights at stake were important to give rise to a cause of action for any constitutent who thought his vote was being diluted. Here, the danger (imminent harm) is far greater than "vote dilution", and the remedy, if granted, will certainly resolve the problem. Further, the problem cannot be solved through lobbying and legislation because the issue is not a legislative issue -- it is an issue of "abuse of public office".
