What I'm saying is that it's a legal winner, too. Yes, the district court will rule - and it will be for the Feds. It will be appealed by Cuccinelli to the court of appeals as of right, where Cuccinelli will lose again. The Supreme Court need not take up the case, and my prediction is that it won't, leaving the circuit cout decision in place. There you go - five years and $1 million in lawyering in one paragraph.Lloyd the Idiothttp://www.lloydtheidiot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267725995210102143.post-2943859539868406162010-05-25T19:31:22.850-04:002010-05-25T19:31:22.850-04:00According to those who understand the legal proces...According to those who understand the legal process (as Attorney General Cuccinelli clearly does), the response of the Federal Government is the defacto response. The Feds always (when sued) enter a motion to dismiss the suit. The plaintiff (Virginia) then files a counter argument, the Feds respond back and THEN the court takes the case under consideration and makes a ruling. Next, the loser in this district court then appeals (if they wish to do so) the decision to the Supreme Court. The fun is just beginning.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06915523213454700053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267725995210102143.post-41645820499602317612010-05-25T13:12:32.460-04:002010-05-25T13:12:32.460-04:00It is all about Cooch's grandstanding.
