Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Rachel Maddow discovers more Joe Miller hypocrisy (gasp!, and talks about his super wing-nutty campaign advisor Floyd Brown.
It seems the count watching lawyers are packing up their magnifying glasses and departing Alaska because people who aren't Teabaggers really can spell.
Joe 'Cro-Magnon' Miller is still refudiating the count and begging donors for funds, claiming that Lisa Murkowski, “single-handedly sentenced the state to a divisive and expensive election.”
Granny Grifter "donated" $5000 from her PAC and also contributed the services of Ivy Frye as an observer for Miller during the write-in count. Cue Palin whine in 3,2,1...
Hey, I wonder if Joe can get his deposit back on those Senate drapes he ordered?
What a hoot - Miller wants to take a state-court issue and move it directly into the federal courts... what about his long-time mantra of keeping local issues local, i.e.: "states-rights?"
NOW he wants to get the federal government involved? HUH??
Rachel's doing a little bit of a hatchet job on Joe Miller here.
Sure, his case is in "federal" court, but the basis of his claim is largely state constitution/state law based. OF COURSE he has to have some claim under federal law (or there would be no federal jurisdiction....).
But the reason Miller wants to be in federal court is to make it quicker (theoretically) and easier to get to the Supreme Court (district court to ninth circuit to Supremes--Tinker to Evers to Chance), as opposed to State circuit court, appellate court, Alaska Supreme Court, then Supreme Court. But alaska might not have an intermediate appellate court...
If anyone cares, I'll look it up.
Second--and again, I'll look it up if anyone cares--the Ninth Circuit is notorious for "reversing" the Supreme court, and going its own way. One of those times is that the Ninth stands alone in limiting the ability of litigants to bring mainly state law claims into federal court....
Joe COULD have problem from that end, unless he's really pouring on the elbow grease, polishing up that turd Bush v. Gore.....
Interesting article in today's NY Times.
