Well, out of town almost a week, and the list is alive with comment.  
John Wilde has succinctly put the court ruling in perspective, and Ken 
Van Cleeve has stated the correct course.  This is a big victory for 
us.  Not because the court didn't gut us like a fish (sort of).  In 
their minds they did (I sure would have liked John Buttrick's opinion 
on the ruling, and the several criticisms they leveled implicitly at 
him and Rawls.  But that won't be possible.).   We won because now the 
court has defined "shall," and now it is time to ram "shall" down 
every orifice the government possesses.

Who has standing?  After all, since every political party shall meet 
the 'minorly inconveinent but legitimate demands of the legislature' 
(so sayeth the court), and none of them do (nor is it possible to o 
so), it is time to see who first will squeal like a pig!  Where does 
the SOS, or CRO's get off handing over voter registrations to 
political parties who aren't in compliance with the election law?!  I 
though she took an oath to follow the law or something.  Aren't those 
lists big money (for the taxpayers of course), not normally given 
away?  

We always win, no matter what they do.  Either they give us our 
freedom (fat chance), or the government  exposes themselves for the 
worst sort of statist hypocrites they are.  Keep providing the rope, 
and we can keep making them eat their words and squirm out of another 
fine mess of their own creation.  In a publically educated 
society, whether the day will come when the government finally hangs 
itself is tragically uncertain.
