2. It's not over yet. Court did deny preliminary injunction though which is a good sign.

3. If anything gets really threatening

to them in the courts, the Republicans send it as an "Emergency" to their wholly owned subsidiary the U.S.Supreme Court...
and they get a decision, in their favor, the next day......convenient, huh........

7. And if I'm reading this right, they lost.

So all I can figure is the current suit was filed to eventually get the case into Federal Court somehow and hope corruption does its job for them.
