Federal Priest Molest Michigan's Election Laws



The U.S. Constitution specifically dictates that the States have the authority to determine the place, time and manner of elections of their senators and representatives.  Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) failed to meet Michigan’s filing requirements.  Mind you, he’s been in Congress for over 50 years.  He knows his state’s election laws.  That doesn’t mean anything in the Age of Obama.  A federal judge ruled Mr. Conyers shall be on the ballot.

Who in the hell is this judge?  Why he’s one of Sen. Harry Reid’s gate crashers.  After Senate Democrats changed the rules on confirmation of presidential appointees, there has been a stampede of molesters to the federal priesthood.  The Hill reported the following:

Judge Matthew Leitman ordered that Conyers be put back on the August ballot last week after the Michigan secretary of state had denied the congressman's appeal earlier in the day.

The dispute stems from the failure of Conyers — who has been in Congress for almost 50 years — to submit enough petition signatures to qualify for the ballot under Michigan law. No one disputes that Conyers did not meet the legal requirements to be on the ballot, but Leitman ruled that "There is evidence that their failure to comply with the Registration Statute was the result of good faith mistakes and that they believed they were in compliance with the statute."

Not shockingly, Leitman gained his seat on the federal bench just two months ago, as a result of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nev.) invoking the so-called nuclear option, where President Obama's nominees can be confirmed by the Senate without the need to reach a bipartisan consensus on their worthiness. After surviving the confirmation process with only a partisan fueled 55-43 vote, Leitman has already paid off for Conyers, one of their oldest warhorses.

Constitution?  Democrats don’t need a stinking constitution.
