The Ron Paul Grassroots "Delegate Lawsuit" Tossed, New Version Filed

The Ron Paul Grassroots "Delegate Lawsuit" Tossed, New Version Filed
Brian Doherty|Aug. 10, 2012 5:47 pm

The lawsuit filed by a Ron Paul grassroots activist lawyer charging the Republican National Committee (RNC) with various shenanigans against Ron Paul delegates and calling for the RNC to admit that no delegate is bound to vote for Romney was dismissed by U.S. District Judge David Carter this week.

Carter's order to dismiss.

Some relevant language from the order explaining why the Judge didn't think the suit worth going forward:

For example, Plaintiffs’ vague reference to “State Bylaws” gives this Court no inkling as to which of the 50 states and which of the millions of pages of bylaws Plaintiffs refer. Similarly, Plaintiffs’ use of the passive voice renders it impossible to discern who broke the bones of whom, who pointed a gun at whom, and whether any of the more than 100 Defendants were even involved. Finally, Plaintiffs’ vague allegations of voting ballot fraud occurring somewhere at sometime and apparently committed simultaneously by all “Defendants” lacks plausibility. While Plaintiffs make an oblique reference to a voting machine somewhere in Arizona, the lack of clarity in this allegation is insufficient to raise it to a level above mere speculation.Thus, this Court does not accept these allegations as true.

I wrote about that suit both right here at Reason and in the New York Times back in June.

The Paul campaign itself never embraced the suit or supported it--though Ron Paul himself didn't choose to condemn it either. Richard Gilbert, the lawyer who filed it, was ferocious in his insistence it was for the good of the delegates, and the honesty of the Republican primary and caucus process.

The USA is Rolling into Fascism - Rodney Shakespeare

Richard Shakespeare explains why America is falling into Facism.

The world is not going to forgive the USA for its warring and Torture
Half of the US military budget is hidden in other budgets
Homeland Security has just purchased 100's of millions of dumb dumb bullets
The Banks have lost any sense of what it means to be productive
In the USA 10,000,000 jobs have been outsourced
The bankers are arrogant self satisfied complacent and stupid
Plots are afoot around the world to wreck the US$ reserve status

Republican conservatives open “third” convention at Values Voters Summit

Washington, D.C. — Some might say the Republican Party will have experienced three conventions this year.

First, there was the mini-convention for Ron Paul and his people the weekend before the actual GOP convention last month in Tampa, Fla. UW Election Eye has encountered fervent Paul partisans all around the country, and they have been a very motivated bunch in their sometimes-quixotic libertarian quest for their man’s nomination.

The rally in Florida was a chance for them to vent some of their frustration at the process, some of which spilled over at the ”big-tent” convention itself. But normally these are occasions in which disparate groups, as at all political-party gatherings, have to play well together, or appear to. As my colleagues showed in their coverage of the Democrats’ convention last week in Charlotte, S.C. they’re about presenting united fronts and compromising for the sake of potential victory.

But then there’s the Values Voter Summit. It’s not about party unity. It’s instead the go-to protest space for social conservatives. Primarily hosted by the Family Research Council, it’s been the place for disenchanted socially conservative “values voters” — those worried about the impact of the recent HHS mandate on faith-based non-profits, abortion and same-sex marriage — to make their collective voice heard. That sometimes includes odd, but still telling, straw-poll winners in off-years. And if Mitt Romney loses the nomination, it’ll probably only grow in importance as a magnet for those politicians wanting to appeal to conservative activists.

Paul Ryan, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Jim DeMint, and Michelle Bachmann, among others, are slated to speak this year.
