Comments on: Smith Update http://www.rumromanismrebellion.net/2005/08/25/smith-update/ "We beg no longer; we entreat no more; we petition no more. We defy them!" - William Jennings Bryan Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:57:55 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Michael http://www.rumromanismrebellion.net/2005/08/25/smith-update/comment-page-1/#comment-151 Michael Fri, 02 Sep 2005 19:31:00 +0000 http://www.rumromanismrebellion.net/?p=66#comment-151 I agree. Smith is himself hostile to Clean Elections (though he used the program) and is certainly being urged and financed to try to make a hash of any precedent allowing Clean Elections to eject a lawmaker from office. No, Smith will only leave kicking and screaming. Then next cycle he'll be back and will be running as the wrongly deposed sovereign of his district and a cause celebre of the GOP. I can imagine the black helicopter conspiracy theorizing even now... I agree.

He'll continue appealing his case until his term is over, making a complete joke out of the Clean Election rules. The Arizona courts will allow him to do this. Wait and see if I'm not right.
