So what's the meaning and point of this story:
Wisconsin State Jouranl: The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that the Green Party can put its candidates on the November statewide ballot WHILE it considers whether the party took improper donations to fund its petition drive. Green Party officials have said if their candidates are blocked from the ballot, it would be a "death penalty" for the party.
I know, it looks like a third party, in this case the Green Party, would like a chance at being a part of the elections in November. But wait:
Perry's former chief of staff and close confidant Mike Toomey, who is now a lobbyist, was identified in court testimony as a Republican operative behind efforts to help a Green Party petition drive. A Perry campaign spokesman has denied Perry or the campaign are involved.
Well then, we have no reason to believe otherwise….it's just a coincedence. I'm sure the Supreme Court will make the right decision…
The Supreme Court, which has the case now, is made up of nine Republicans.
Oh boy. The question now is, did the district judge make the wrong decision?
But Dietz State District Judge John Dietz, who ruled in favor of the Democrats, agreed with Democrats that the signature gathering was overtly political.
Judge Dietz is an admitted partisan hack, right?
