Tonight the three candidates for Marion County GOP Chair participate in a forum as a lead-up to Saturday’s election. The party’s focus has been on who can raise the most money so the GOP here can once more be relevant.

Times - and demographics - change, as should the Marion County GOP. One local matter to address is corruption. The Marion County GOP can gain traction against corruption if it requires any candidate for office in Marion County or Indianapolis to agree she or he will…

One party has run Marion County, Indiana, for decades. On Saturday, March 6, the local GOP will elect a County Chair. Three candidates have announced: John Schmitz, Alex Henby and Joe Elsener. (Michael-Paul Hart dropped out.)

The focus is on who can raise the most money so the Marion County GOP can be in the best position to sell its message. Mr Hart’s numbers indicate that a majority of an annual budget of almost $84K paid “a full-time Executive Director.”

The Marion County…

Individual States did not coordinate efforts of their respective militias or National guards in December, 1941, to fight in what became called World War II. A year ago the U.S. faced a World conflict with an “enemy” more implacable than in 1941.

If the (now nearly-500,000) deaths from COVID did little to change anyone’s mind about the efficacy of States’ experiments in how we address problems we face, the operation of free market forces in provision of energy in Texas probably won’t…

Our intelligence agencies have determined Russia used cyberforce to attack this country during the 2016 elections. Cyber warfare is big money these days - because so much of the World’s security depends upon computers.

Intelligence agencies have determined Russia will interfere in elections yet to come. Putin is no friend of democracy. He hates the United States. He hates political systems that espouse democratic values.

   “What stupid f*****g thing did Trump do today?”

   That is a good way to start a conversation these days. The always is an answer.

   As Trump approval ratings in the demographic of his “solid” base—white males over 45 with high school diplomas or less, in education—have slipped, and as Trump has made statements either silly or dangerous, more people discuss the possibilities of impeachment and also removal under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.

   Neither of those options is…

   There have been insane leaders of countries in history. Caligula named his horse a Senator in Rome.  George III of England ran about the palace raving.  Stalin, when extremely drunk, ordered his Politburo to dance.

   Until the mid-Twentieth Century, the impacts of mentally ill heads of state could be disastrous.  With the advent of nuclear weapons, an insane leader of the most powerful countries could destroy the planet.

   On Saturday, October 14, “more than 100 psychologists…

   The Declaration of Independence says all are created equal and are endowed with certain unalienable rights that include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

   The right to freedom of speech, particularly political speech, is amongst those most protected of our rights. The Declaration does not distinguish between nationalities.

   We need not delve into rights of people here legally yet without status as citizens and the rights of those here illegally to resolve the issue…

   Department of Justice (“DOJ”) was unsuccessful, in part, in its effort to identify people who “liked” an anti-Trump Facebook page.

   The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to associate.  Political speech—even of a conservative guy like Paul Ogden—is the most highly protected speech. “Whatever differences may exist about interpretations of the First Amendment, there is practically universal agreement that a…

   Today we should hear whether SCOTUS will hear Bailey, et al v U.S., et al, dkt no.16-1464, the only action to seek: (1) independent investigation of the 2016 election and, (2) if Russia illegally affected the results, the election be declared void. Disclosure: I am counsel of record for Petitioners in Bailey.

   A matter addressed in the Petition is standing, a “party’s right to make a legal claim or seek judicial enforcement of a duty or right...”  (Petition at pp. 21-24; para.…

   Tomorrow we will learn if Bailey, et al v U.S., et al, SCOTUS dkt number 16-1464—the only action to seek: (1) independent investigation of the 2016 election and, (2) if Russia illegally affected the results, the election be declared void—advances out of conference. Disclosure: I am counsel of record for Petitioners in Bailey.

We are right and the factual allegations in the Petition have been validated.

   Last February I agreed to represent three pro se Petitioners—people without attorneys—in Bloomstein, et v Pence, et al, SCOTUS docket 16-907    .

   Immediately I was attacked by bloggers on a website that touts itself as a place where scams on the public are exposed. Most prominently, the website ripped into the “birther” movement—those (such as Trump) who claimed President Obama was ineligible for the office he held because he was not born on U.S. soil.

   I visited the…

   Finally someone has posed thoughtful argument against the Petition in Bailey, et al v U.S., et al, United States Supreme Court (“SCOTUS”) docket 16-1464, the only action to seek: (1) independent investigation of the 2016 election and, (2) if Russia illegally affected the results, the election be declared void. The case was set for conference 9/ 25/17. Disclosure: I am counsel of record for Petitioners in Bailey.

   Social media responses to Bailey, et al v U.S., et al, SCOTUS docket 16-1464 overall are positive. A frequent comment, “I did not know about this case,” is explained by absence of mainstream media (“MSM”) coverage. Disclosure: I am counsel of record in  Bailey, the only action to seek: (1) independent investigation of the 2016 election and, (2) if Russia illegally affected the results, the election be declared void. The case was set for conference 9/ 25/17. Disclosure: I am counsel of…

   In Bailey, et al v U.S., et al, SCOTUS docket 16-1464, Petitioners bring an action for an independent investigation of the 2016 election and, if Russian interference in the election affected the outcome of the election, an Order the election be declared void.  Disclosure: I am counsel for Petitioners in Bailey, 16-1464.

   A frequent question: why the need for an independent investigation when Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed on May 17?

   In Memphis on 4/3/68, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King said, in his last speech: “Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.”  On 5/17/57 at the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. King said, “So long as I do not firmly and irrevocably possess the right to vote I do not possess myself.”

   I quote Dr. King because his life’s work for civil rights was inextricably tied with the right to vote.

   The right to vote is the foundation for all of our rights. The most…

   Morgan Freeman and Rob Reiner are great and courageous to have formed the Committee to Investigate Russia.  Mr. Freeman stated we “have been attacked” and that we “are at war.”

   The evidence of Russian attacks on our 2016 elections is beyond serious question. Russia hacked voting software in at least 21, and perhaps as many as 39, states; paid people in the Trump campaign; and weaponized the internet.

   Russian President Vladimir Putin hates democratic principles and systems.…

   Under 1976 Federal case, half the case for voiding the 2016 elections already has been met. At the very least, we need an independent investigation of the election.

   Former Secretary of State Clinton was wrong when she said no mechanism in the Constitution exists to remove a President in office through collusion with a foreign power. 

   In 1976, a U.S. District Court held such action is within the equitable jurisdiction of the court.  Donohue v Bd of Electors, 435 F.Supp 957…

   Yesterday, a person commented to me, “You can’t reverse history.”

   The comment was made in regard to the 2016 elections and Bailey v U.S., docket 16-1464, a case before the U.S. Supreme Court (“SCOTUS”) in which I am counsel for Petitioners who seek an order to nullify those elections. As grounds to nullify, the Petition cites case authority, admissions by the officials named as Respondents that Russia interfered in the election, and acts of treason and a cyber invasion by Russia…

  We lived on Arlington Place, in a one-bedroom apartment with a Pullman kitchen—i.e., down-sized appliances arrayed in a line that could be hidden when the louvered doors were pulled across and shut.  On the first floor of the building was an Italian restaurant called Salvatore’s.

  We had moved there after she graduated from Purdue. We were young, broke, and didn’t care. She had a job at one of the exchanges as a runner. I obtained employment at Northwestern University School of Law as…
