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.
