Everyone needs to sit back and think of the person they are voting for.

Sandler has been the DNC's lawyer for years, he isn't Obama's lawyer.

Sweetie, he has a long way to go before he can get to the supreme court.

He can certainly try, but it hasn't even been heard in a lower court.

Even if he could bypass all of the appelate courts, the Supreme Court would still have to agree to hear the case. They only hear a select number of cases each year and they most certainly wouldn't pick any case that had no constitutional merit. It won't happen for several reasons.

The one in Washington was dismissed too. I posted the links to you, did you read them?

Hi Jen! Unfortunately real facts don't seem to mean much on this board.


Btw, nice to see you here. :-)
