    Alton Davis Should Not Appear On The Nov 02 Ballot

    There is this thing called the rule of law.  And whether it is a small font designation as we have discussed recently, or something so major as an ability to be seated on the supreme court, we must try to follow as best we can.  When we KNOW the law, it shall be our guide. And when we do not, and find it by coincidence of our situation, we ought to consider a way to rectify our mistakes and mitigate the effect.

    Shall I be the first to cast stones?

    Not in the classic sense.  God has made me but one man among many.  Many men who have differing opinions, but come together at points to agree on how best we serve each other in fairness and recognizing the natural born rights we all share.  Part of those agreements make up the law to be followed by all the citizens.  I must atone personally for my own mistakes, and must also follow rules previously established, else I pay a price in some manner.

    I make no claim to be technically or morally superior.  But I will announce when I see something that is wrong.  Especially when there  still is time for it to be fixed.

    To the Livingston County Democrats - those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

    Awhile back, Judy Daubenmier, Kevin Shopshire, (both former reporters part of the media) and the local democrats were going crazy about one of our county commissioners who was unopposed for election, from clicking the waiver wire. It was a mistake, a blunder, since corrected, but wasn't front page material.

    The post primaries were due yesterday. After this broad shot fired across the board, I'm here to show in spades that those in glass houses should not throw stones. Whether it was due to malfeasance or just incompetence, Judy Daubenmier's crew screwed up. If you are going to fire off, you better be clean, because I can find where the skeletons are buried.

    First, disclaimers. This violates the spirit of the law, and also the letter if internet websites are considered "print" or "broadcast" ads. Who paid for the dem commissioner websites? I'll get to that in a minute.

    The Ivory Tower this morning has one of the most complete pieces on the Fake Tea Party Fiasco to date.

    More information, more interviews, and an easier to follow trail to the Democrats. Including the following:

    The Free Press found:

    • Mike McGuinness, the recently resigned chairman of the Oakland County Democratic Party, who had denied any role in the Tea Party controversy, recruited his former stepmother to run for state representative.

    • Jason Bauer, 30, of Waterford, former operations director for the Oakland Democrats and McGuinness' roommate, notarized petitions for at least four affidavits to run for office for people who now -- directly or through a relative -- say they didn't sign the affidavits. Overall, he notarized 12 of 23 Tea Party candidate affidavits.

    • State Senate candidate Frantt Whitehill of Midland, who insists he's a real tea partyer, is a Democratic donor who ran for precinct delegate as a Democrat in August.


    The article mentions reporters getting tossed from Mark Steffek's property, the multiple fraudulently filled out affidavits, and an ongoing grand jury investigation.  Add to this a complete and utter denial by Democrat party puppeteer Mark Brewer and would be ballot guard Jocelyn Benson, that they had any connection to the entire attempted vote stealing affair.

    Kudos to the Ivo.. umm Free Press and its crack reporting on this.

    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 ~

    Can Alton Davis Even Be Nominated for the 2010 Election?

    Tags: Michigan, Supreme Court, Alton Davis, Justice, Eligibility, Constitution (all tags)

    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.

    Sec. 2. The supreme court shall consist of seven justices elected at non-partisan elections as provided by law. The term of office shall be eight years and not more than two terms of office shall expire at the same time. Nominations for justices of the supreme court shall be in the manner prescribed by law. Any incumbent justice whose term is to expire may become a candidate for re-election by filing an affidavit of candidacy, in the form and manner prescribed by law, not less than 180 days prior to the expiration of his term.

    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?

    Cross-Posted in The Wizard of Laws

    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.

    A Most Pernicious Pest

    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.

    A lawyer for "The Tea Party," Michael Hodge, has argued that the size of the type face isn't reason enough to keep "The Tea Party" off the ballot since the group's petitions substantially meet state requirements. State election officials estimate the party submitted about 45,000 valid voter signatures, far more than required by state law.


    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.
