Yes, this twit Berg actually petitioned for an injunction to prevent the Inaguration until the writ of certiorari that he filed was heard. It was denied.

To be honest, I haven''t followed this much, I figured is was so whacko - it just wasn''t worth my time. But I''m lovin'' this. These nutcakes just can''t get themselves far ENOUGH out there in nutcake land, can they?
Trying to delay the inaguration??? I just didn''t see that comin''. Thanks for the posting, I gotta whole new set of chuckles, now. - Reply to this comment
- All because little miss clinton didn''t win and he wont get the next SC seat that comes up. That is his true motive. Not the constitution.

- The writ is useless once he is sworn in. The SC has denied the injunction to delay the Inaguration until the writ is heard. They are STALLING. Get it yet.

- It is useless. The SC is NOT going to disclaim Obama. Just deal with it.

- And it will be denied AGAIN closer to the 16th. They are hanging onto it until he doesn''t have time to refile.

As more and more is revealed the ''''Grand Ole Party'''' will go the way of it''''s predecessors the ''''Federalists'''' and before that the ''''Whigs''''. What will they call themselves next? Whatever they become, they took a good hard run at democracy this time and almost destroyed it. Actually, the jury is still out. Hopefully the new administration can save our nation.

Well, they are gonna have to make some drastic changes to traditional republican doctrine if they want to stay in the game, no doubt about it.
Even the gurus in the republican party are already talking about this reality. - Reply to this comment
- That conference is set for Jan 16th. Do you really think if the SC was taking this thing seriously they would wait that close to Inaguration day to deal with this. They are holding it until the last possible minute so Berg doesn''t have time to refile and have it presented before Jan 20th.

- They already have it set for a conference. This is where they decide if they have enough evidence to look at it

It has already been set for conference and denied once then it was refiled and reset much closer to Inaguration, they will hold onto it as long as possible and deny it again. Then Berg wont have time to refile before it becomes a mute point. - Reply to this comment
- ''''''''The agency''''''''s first director under Bush, John L. Henshaw, startled career officials by telling them in an early meeting that employers were OSHA''''''''s real customers, not the nation''''''''s workers. "Everybody was pretty amazed," one of those present recalled. "Our purpose is to ensure employee safety and health. . . . He just looked at things differently."
Within two years, Henshaw, an industrial hygienist who had worked for Monsanto and another chemical firm, withdrew 26 draft regulations on OSHA''''''''s public calendar, including rules meant to limit workplace exposure to air contaminants, highly hazardous chemicals, and shipyard and scaffolding hazards.''''''''
RIP
GOP

- No, like DJ said, you can not change the Constitution no matter what the petitioner wants.

It''''s really not a matter of what they CAN do, they can''''t do anything... the whole thing is incredibly silly. It''''s a matter of what they want to do.

I don''t think it is going to get very far anyway. I think they will leave it on docket for conference until around the 15th of Jan and then deny it again. by the time it goes through the chain of command like it did above, Obama will be sworn in and it will be a mute point. - Reply to this comment
- It would go to McCain.
