Great excerpt from the judicial opinion rejecting DeLay's ballot scam

[Czolgosz]

Were the Court to adopt the Defendant's position, either political party could and would be able to change candidates after the primary election and before the general election simply by an administrative declaration of ineligibility by the party chair based on a candidate's "move" to another state. This would be a serious abuse of the election system and a fraud on the voters, which the Court will not condone.... Political acumen, strategy, and manufactured evidence, even combined with sound policy in mind, cannot override the Constitution.... The Constitution "nullifies sophisticated as well as simple-minded modes" of infringing on constitutional protections.

1. LOL! Gee, I wonder which one the judge thinks best characterizes

Delay's infringment on the Constitution.........sophisticated or simple-minded?

Hmmmmm.......:silly:

2. Since the judge called DeLay's scheme "fraud on the voters" and an "abuse

of the election system" and characterized DeLay's offer of proof as "manufactured evidence," I think the judge considered the DeLay scamp a "simple-minded mode" of infringing on constitutional protections.
