BREAKING: Blackwell Seeks Depositions of Kerry and Edwards

BREAKING: Blackwell Seeks Depositions of Kerry and Edwards
http://forum.truthout.org/blog/

......What is behind this court filing? Kerry-Edwards 2004 submitted key filings in this case last week which supported claims made by 2004 presidential candidates David Cobb and Michael Badnarik that the Ohio recount was not conducted in accordance with uniform standards, as is required by the equal protection and due process guarantees of the US Constitution. These claims have been pending before Federal District Court Judge Edmund Sargus in Columbus since December 30, 2004. Cobb and Badnarik, who are represented by the National Voting Rights Institute, have also recently filed a motion for a hearing on the pending matters before the court, which Kerry-Edwards supported in its papers submitted last week.

Ohio Attorney General Petro and Secretary of State Blackwell are now clearly trying to remove Kerry-Edwards from this case either via a court order or, if that fails, via the threat of taking the depositions of Kerry and Edwards. On December 3, against Petro and Blackwell’s objections, Judge Sargus allowed the Kerry-Edwards’ motion to intervene in this case. Since that date, neither Petro nor Blackwell has sought to remove Kerry-Edwards from this case. Their effort to do so now should be rejected by the court and Kerry and Edwards should show that they refuse to be intimidated by these threats.

Sen Kerry and Sen Edwards have nothing to hide....now the shrub corp may have problems if someone would go after them....on the other hand probably not if they can rig an election then they pretty much get away with murder

Saw this thing but usually Im posting a duplicate so I was hesitant after all its from Will Pitt

even though Blackwell is wrong on this. I am awaiting the call for me to come in and give a deposition on my observances of the recount in Ohio. It was a joke in the county I was part of overseeing. I have already given my statement, so loks like some time soon it will become a sworn one.

I thought Blackwell wouldnt show up when he was suppoenaed?

if they gave depositions...

:shrug:

Believe me, Kerry and Edwards are puhlenty sophisticated to not even blink an eye over this so-called "threat".

Blackwell is an ass.

I have a bumper sticker on my car that says... Democrats Make Better Lovers, Have You Ever Heard Of A Good Piece Of Elephant???

We make have the Donkey as our symbol, but it's the Elephants who are going to make Asses of themselves!! But We Can KICK it along!!!
:kick: :dem:

I knew that they were dumb...but this takes the cake.

Blackwell is an IDIOT. Does he really think that Senator Kerry and Senator Edwards WHO ARE ATTORNEYS (obviously he forgot) are going to testify??? They have nothing to hide AND HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG.

The day that this bunch gets thrown out is a much better day for our world!! :)

Waiting for the IMPEACHMENT WHILE THE SCANDALS KEEP UNFOLDING

Coleman is the mayor of Columbus. He's an African American in his forties who is very bright, very articulate, wellspoken and good looking, and very practical. He's wildly popular in Columbus, which is a moderate/swing area of Ohio. Most republicans I know even think he's done a very good job as mayor. Columbus is really starting to take off as a fun urban area, with a lot of cool businesses opening up. I really think he'll be a good voice for the party in the Midwest. And I really want Blackwell to burn.

It appears to have been enough of a problem for Blackwell that he wants them to go away.

Well, guess what, baby. They're not going to go away. Look to your left, they'll be there. Look to your right, yep, there they are again. Quietly. Slowly. Coming closer and closer. They already know what you did, Kenny. They're coming for you.

Mwahahaha.

Does that make sense to anyone? Not me.

"They argue that they should have the right to place Kerry and Edwards under oath for questioning on the grounds that the 2004 presidential and vice-presidential candidates should no longer be allowed involvement in the case."
