Morgan Challenges NC SBOE Decision
Momo is at work, but took the time to point out an article in this morning's Pilot. It deserves our full attention.
Remember watching the coverage of the SBOE meeting where Morgan challenged the contributions made by Art Pope's Variety Stores to the 527 he used to send mailers intended to oust Morgan?
More below the fold...
It seems Morgan isn't happy with the decision of the North Carolina State Board of Elections. He had to wait until a final filing of documents by the board to serve notice of his challenge.
This could get interesting. I didn't agree with the board's ruling. It appears that Pope intentionally worked around loopholes, which indicates to me he had dishonorable intentions. It isn't that I really care for Morgan, but I'm glad to see someone willing to fight a bad decision by the SBOE.
Great tip, Mo. Thanks.

I'm glad to see this.
The Puppetmaster will have to spend even more of the money he makes on the backs of poor people to fund lots of lawyers. And he will likely stop at nothing to crush Morgan's complaint and is probably already scrambling to dismiss, delay, counter-sue, whatever.
In particular, Art Pope almost certainly does NOT want full discovery, which the SBOE failed to do. Because if there IS full discovery, we might all be feasting on a sad, sleazy and sorry saga of collusion, intrigue, espionage, gossip and worse. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if RLM and company are busy sanitizing everything they can sanitize as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, most of the dirt was already picked up during the SBOE hearing . . . it just didn't make it into evidence because of the board's incompetence and/or dishonesty. As I understand it, the rules for evidence in court will be substantially different and much more expansive.
This should be good.
I hope his lawyers
are very expensive ones. :)
I know, that's mean and petty. So be it.
Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.

You got that right! Porky Morgan has hired a gunslinger from the Democrat legal money banker interests name the " Weasle" Weiss. The Weasle is the slickest lawyer around and gives a whole new meaning to the term Greed and inside Money connections around in the International money markets. The "Weasle" ran for a public state office back in early 2000 or early than that. That office control all of the public overnight State investment bank accounts along with the State pension funds to get the highest interest return on overnight transfer money account. He got beat, and the funding of his campaign was by Out of state family members and large oil and bank connected corporations in the Houston Texas market.

The " Weasle" legal strongest point is to beat you to death with legal techical loopholes in the system. He is the kind of lawyer who would sue his mother if the dinner was late. Also he was the Wake county democrat chairman years back.
I sure Porky knows what the term legal fees mean now after blowing off his personal [1/2 million or more at the last count] investments to paid for the Federal investigation of his career as co-speaker and his association with the State Republican control Pope party.
Does anyone know if in this challenge
They find in Morgan's favor will that have any conseqences for the SBOE?
ps thanks for doing this SD ;)
No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.
I don't think so
The court decision would override the SBOE, but wouldn't punish them in any way.

cameras in the courtroom
Do you think this will be televised? Will it be in Raleigh?
