Can you say embarrassing? A federal judge has dismissed the lawsuit National Organization for Marriage (NOM) filed to challenge Rhode Island’s campaign finance laws because their briefs were incomprehensible garbage.
U.S. District Judge Mary Lisi said that the lawsuit from the National Organization for Marriage is disorganized, vague and poorly constructed. The judge said the relevant allegations were “buried” in the lawsuit.Lisi dismissed the lawsuit, but said the group has the option to refile it by Wednesday.
Up to its usual tricks, NOM is attempting to run political ads against pro-equality candidates without having to play by the rules like everyone else. Namely, they refuse to report expenditures and mind the spending limits set by law for political action committees. Just another example of how the anti-family crowd is trying to remodel the Klan hood into a 21st century configuration.
The case is question is National Organization for Marriage, Inc. v. Daluz (No. 1:10-cv-00392-ML)

Umm…WHAT?!

Well done, Sarasnavel, well done.
Gee, the writers of those briefswere “A” students at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty Academy. I guess the judge doesn’t grade on the curve.
Good gosh, another activist judge!America is cursed with a plague of jurists who value reason, intelligence, common sense and the law over bigotry. Oh, the country is doomed, I tell you, doomed! The fire and brimstone are already on their way down.
Hmm…You don’t suppose Andrew Shirvell might have had a hand in it, too, do you? ”Attorneys” who’ve come from Christian law schools may prove to be enormous, albeit unintentional, benefactors of our community.
Orangutans – South America?Did I miss something in any class I ever took on any subject? Human bones and Chimpanzee bones cause confusion? Bigfoot is a relative of a man and an orangutan?
This is wild stuff. I am sure Paul Camaroon spent some time in the chimp house and gorilla house to come up with this idiocy.
good local commentaryHere’s a good commentary from a reporter/columnist for Rhode Island’s local NPR station:

I’m hoping Judge LisiDoes the right thing and keeps this sucker tied up until after the election. I also hope she issues an injunction against running the ads.
Then once the elections are over, order NOM to disclose it’s PAC donors.
