One must have a compelling interest in the outcome of a suit to bring the suit. Put another way, a sufficient stake in a challenge or action to make it a case or otherwise a controversy.
It matters only if it matters to you. At least that is the way some cases have been ended. If you have no compelling interest, why might you bring a suit? What does the ACLU do when it wants to prove a point? It shops out for a plaintiff, the "victim" of some particular law or abrogation of what the ACLU might perceive to be rights, either real or imagined. Indeed, some things matter to all of us, but we must suffer the wait for a "directly" affected party. ~ continue below ~ (756 words in story) Full Story By JGillman, Section News
Really.. Can he?
Unless.. he had ALREADY filed the affidavit prior to his commission by governor Granholm? From the Michigan Constitution:
§ 2 Justices of the supreme court; number, term, nomination, election. It is 121 Days till the end of his term... His appointment to fill the remaining term was 6 days ago.. Am I reading this wrong? (11 comments) Comments >> By The Wizard of Laws, Section News

The fake Tea Party has filed an application for leave to appeal with the Michigan Supreme Court, asking that court to overturn the Michigan Court of Appeals, a panel of which voted unanimously that the FTP should not be on the November ballot. With the much publicized departure of E. Weaver and the elevation of Alton Davis, this will be the first rule-of-law test for the newly constituted Supreme Court.

They're Back.
The Fake Tea creation of the Michigan Democrats are hoping to take advantage of retired justice Weaver's slight to the Republicans, and perhaps citizens of Michigan. The lawyer for "The Tea Party" Michael Hodge, has filed to the Michigan supreme Court, requesting it reviews the Appeals court decision.
There is now a 4-3 construction of the Michigan Supreme court that favors Democrat "interpretation activism" versus the 3-1-3 balance between Proper refereeing-"Who Knows anymore"-Interpretation activism. MLive reports: "The Tea Party" filed an emergency appeal Tuesday, according to a Supreme Court spokeswoman. Attorney John Pirich, who represents the GOP and tea partiers, said he'll decide what steps to take once he reviews the appeal. Heck.. I guess it doesn't matter that there were candidates who were not eligible, filed improperly, didn't know they were running, etc..
![]() We'll see if the Supreme court has been seriously compromised by this change. We'll see if the 4 Justice majority of activists serve their masters well. And we will see how hard we will have to work to defeat the newly designated incumbent leftist justice Alton Davis, come November. (6 comments) Comments >> By steve, Section News

I'm sure glad Michigan has Rick Snyder as our Republican candidate for Governor. If we are fortunate enough to have the 'Tough Nerd' at the helm of the State, we can make a clean break from the failed economic policies of the worst Governor in America, Jennifer Granholm...

For his Job?
Remember that guy from Michigan who went around stabbing people? That guy, Elias Abuelazam, has been arraigned on a charge of assault with intent to murder. And while he has only been charged for one attack, more charges can be expected. Abuelazam, to date, is accused of stabbing 13 people in Flint, 5 of those resulting in death. There is also 1 Ohio non-fatal stabbing, an additional 3 non-fatal attacks in Virginia, and an investigation into a probable link to a 2009 homicide stabbing in that same state. Last Thursday, Abuelazam was extradited from Atlanta to Michigan. The extradition process alone was drawn out and costly.
The Virginia connection has problems however. It seems while the Flint attacks were linked to the Virginia attacks, a full two weeks before the extradition process, there was no attempt to contact the Virginia officials by the Genesee prosecutor. In fact, the prosecutor for Loundoun County in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Jim Plowman publicly criticized David Leyton for not returning his calls or messages. On one occasion, Plowman claims he asked to speak directly to David Leyton regarding the Abuelazam case. "You'd think they'd return my phone calls, especially since I have information that will help them," Plowman described leaving a detailed message for an assistant prosecutor, asking to talk directly with Genesee County prosecutor David Leyton. It seems he is still waiting: "I know multi-jurisdictional cases are tough, but I should be able to get my counterpart on the phone."

For the fake Tea Party of Michigan.
Mark Steffek's puppet masters,the Democrats are likely a little hung over this morning. Mark Brewer is likely cleaning off his hand and counting the pennies left after suffering another failure of epic proportions in an attempt to deceive Michiganders. The Detroit News reports that the ballot will not see the Gadsden symbol on it this November: "In light of the plaintiff's failure to strictly comply with the requirements (of state election law), plaintiff fails to establish a clear legal duty on the part of the defendant to certify the petition," the court ruled. Short of an expensive and approved emergency challenge to the MI SC, its done, over.. fin. As there is more information beginning to appear that demonstrates fraud in their efforts, a further effort to gain ballot status by the Mudhens of the Democrat party is likely to see even increased resistance. Additional attempts to move it forward have even better chances to fail. They partied hard, drank the wine of deceit, and this morning Democrat hands across the state are holding onto ceramic rings of support. In the spirit of such celebratory events, we now go below the fold. (3 comments, 530 words in story) Full Story By Kevin Rex Heine, Section News
You'd think that someone would have covered it. In the Grand Rapids area, channel 3, channel 13, the Grand Rapids Press, and the Associated Press mentioned it in passing. Channel 17 mentioned the event that precipitated it and much of what followed it (although they did give it some coverage on the video). Channel 8 was the only one to cover it in any detail. Oddly enough, even Michigan Liberal at least gave it a spot. And the really goofy thing is that in perusing the statewide media coverage of the 2010 Michigan Republican Convention this past weekend, the two Detroit papers provide the most accurate account of what happened as a whole at the convention . . . but only if you know how to combine the facts and weed out the inaccuracies. Even then, both the Freep and the detNews didn't quite get the key point of what happened.
So I suppose that, as usual, the conservative blogger-journalists have to step up to the plate and correct the record. And in this case, I can provide a rather unique perspective.
