Repugs are scared of the truth
Why else would the Ohio A.G., sue the persons involved in bringing forth the
cases about the election fraud in Ohio last November? That election is like a
cancer. It will either be exposed and kill bush or it will spread and kill democracy.

Keep the pressure up. No retreat .... No Surrender!

1. It does seem to be a pretty desparate move. If the first lawsuit had
no merit, they would have been smarter just to stay quiet.

4. I think they are teaching us a lesson
Or at least it will appear that way.
The public will read this and say: 'good to see Bush
putting those Democrats in their place.'
As usual, the spin will not be kind.
I think they are driving home the point 'not only was
there no fraud but we are suing them over there
almost illegal accusations.'

6. We'll see if facts showing that 99.5% of the flaws went to Bush
is enough to merit a case.

2. You, sir (or ma'am) are correct!
Check out this thread with a link to the response from Arnebeck -

He says the same thing you did!

3. This is why they always win
They rape and then they prosecute the victim.
Then the victim loses and pays compensation. Then they laugh at the victim. Then the victim apologizes. Then they do it all again.
We have been through four long years of this. I am utterly amazed at
how we let * walk away with this election.

8. Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro has filed a "SLAPP" Suit
SLAPP = "Strategic Law Suit Against Public Participation"

This is a device that developers use to go against environmentalists, etc.

    SLAPP Law Suits are a disbarment offense in several states - including NY (don't know about Ohio)


AG Petro has to prove at least one of the following elements to avoid being a defendant himself--

(1) That Arnebeck et al. filed their suit for an improper purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation;

(2) That the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions made by Arnebeck et al. are not warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law;

(3) That the allegations and other factual contentions made by Arnebck et al. do not have any evidentiary support and unlikely to have evidentiary support even after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery; and

(4) The denials by Arnebeck et al. of Blackwell's factual contentions are unwarranted on the evidence or are not reasonably based on information or belief.

If Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro fails to prove at least one of the above, then his assertions against Arnebeck et al. are no more then an unlawful law suit filed for an improper purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation. This would be a classic "SLAPP" suit, and a classic case of "malicious prosecution" as well as abuse of his office.

But this is Ohio - land of Blackwell and of the June 4, 1970 Massacre at Kent State.
