A judge on Tuesday dismissed Republican Joe Miller's federal lawsuit seeking to overturn the results of the Nov. 2 election, clearing the way for U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski to be sworn in for another term.
U.S. District Judge Ralph Beistline issued a 14-page order in which he said Miller wasn't raising any federal issues that he needed to resolve.
The judge ruled without waiting for the state to provide its defense of the election. He said state lawyers didn't even need to respond to Miller's latest filings. He ordered Miller's entire federal case dismissed
I am beginning ot think it was easier to stop Jason from the "Friday the Thirteenth" movies than to make this guy see that he is finished. But surely he gets that now, don't you think?
Miller said in a statement that he was disappointed by the ruling and was contemplating what to do now.
An appeal would go before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. His lawyers contended the U.S. Constitution puts authority for regulating elections with the Legislature, not election officials.
"Specifically, should the courts be required to follow the legislature's standard for the selection of U.S. Senators or create their own?" Miller said in a written statement. "My legal team believes that the clear language of the Election Clause as well as precedent support our claims. Thus, we are evaluating the ruling and determining what our next step should be."
Seriously?
I am amazed that even the Teabaggeers would be willing to continue throwing money at this doomed legal battle. Let's face it Joe, eventually you are going to have admit defeat and go out and find a real job.
And hey, good luck with that.
This photo of Joe always reminds me of Carly Fiorini's demon sheep campaign ad. . . .
ReplyDeleteI suppose Joe needs to put on his big boy pants and get
looking for another job. There's a lot of wingnut welfare jobs out there. FAUX, CNN, conservative think tanks, SarahPac . . . . .
Snowdrift Snooki's latest epic fail, Joe the Dumber.
ReplyDeleteGet him on the speaking circuit with the queen of quit. The two of them need their own reality show, as clearly they are living in an alternate universe.

ReplyDeleteDoes a skunk ever realize that he stinks?
Maybe he could find a job at Jock in ze box or as a pooper scooper in a doggie park!
Has child protective services ever checked out Joe's computer for kiddie porn yet? It it were you or me they not only would have, but would have taken all his under age (8) children into protective custody.
Meanwhile would someont kindly show Jaundiced Joe how to use a condom!
Wouldn't it be great if he too moved to Arizona and ran for McCain's seat AGAINST sarah !!
ReplyDeleteLet's face it, McCain is no Spring Chicken, and the odds of him fufilling a whole 6-year term are probably slim - set up that residency now Joe !
joe and sarah butting heads in a special election would be 'must-see' TV !
Every day he can get donations is still make more than he will make at McDonalds
ReplyDeleteIsn't this the same guy who doesn't want government interference and regulation, but now wants the legislature to intervene. Duplicity is never in short supply for Scarah or Joe.
ReplyDeleteSister Sarah has been so quiet on all things related to Loser Joe....This has to sting! Her personal pet loses in her own backyard...to a Murkowski no less!
ReplyDeleteAnd now polls showing how much Alaskans don't like Sarah. No wonder she is moving to AZ. A whole new set of people to dupe, grift,and throw under the bus!
Doesn't he have to keep fighting so that he can have access to campaign funds?
ReplyDeleteJoe is such a loser. I thought the judgement before this should put his case to rest, instead he takes it to a Federal court and they made it sound even more certain he doesn't have a case. He can't be that stupid to try to move this further can he? I afraid the answer is probably yes, he will probably try.
ReplyDeleteWho is paying for all this????
ReplyDeleteIf'n you aint wid us yer agin us
ReplyDeleteJoe is making a list.
Man, the idea of actually working for a living really makes these Tea Party types freak out! I can't believe the lengths they will go to in order to avoid working...from setting up scam PACs to defense fund beg-a-thons!
ReplyDeleteGoogle this phrase "joe miller" + douchebag. That's how I found this blog. And what's with that beard? He must have some sort of laser guided, precision shaving rig.

ReplyDeleteJoe ought to quit whilst he is ahead. But since he insists, there is still time to discover just what Joe's military disability is and compensation $'s. Nobody gets a free lunch anymore Joe!
ReplyDeleteHere in Florida we went through several years of national ridicule after the 2000 election, but at least Al Gore conceded and the country moved on. I'm afraid Alaska has somehow been cursed worse than Florida with people determined to keep the ridicule going!
ReplyDeletePoor Alaska - you had a governor who quit, and a failed senate candidate who won't quit. Couldn't they just switch places?

Joe sure wanted that govment job to provide that govment socialist health care for his many children. spelling is on purpose.
ReplyDeleteI found this excellent site by googling Palin buttboy Joe Miller.
ReplyDeleteAlso one can find this site by googling Joe Miller "party planner" too.
Has that blonde hanger-on--the one who used to hand on Sullivan--gone onto someone else now that Joe is done?
