I have ALWAYS felt that the way to go after election fraud was to go after the product that allows the election fraud. These machines are insecure and vulnerable to being hacked. In short, they are not what they pretend to be and they do not work in the secure manner they are supposed to.

This is right up Edwards alley. This is what the man did to great acclaim for years. This can assuage the loss that was really a victory that was taken from him and John Kerry. He can help put Obama into the White House by doing this and if the guy saves Democracy, we can forget about his indiscretion. Even Elizabeth might forgive him.

That is a great idea, I hope it gets off the ground immediately.

Yeah, me too. It consists of "distancing himself as far away from the campaign as possible".

Edwards only shills when there is a chance of a huge contingency fee.

Besides which if we can control the voting machines and hide 900 floating dead bodies and a bio weapons lab under the noses of the national media in TX don't you think we could fix a jury?

Silly Liberals.

Three weeks ago they were proposing a class action suit against John Edwards on behalf of all his campaign contributors.  The Little Goons need to get a little box and start keeping their insanity on alphabetized 3x5 index cards so they can try to stay consistent.

DUmmies don't think much, do they?

Understatement of the year.

There are certainly a lot of geniuses who don't know Jack Shit about the law or litigation offering up brilliant ideas on DU lately.  Even the dimmest, barely-graduated newbie paralegal could see any such case would be in class certification and discovery issues for about three years from the time it got filed, and to get a TRO on using the machines they would have to have rock-solid proof of systematic fraud right now, not just a bunch of CT speculation.

Maybe they could all get together and sue God for making them such losers.

I foresee some problems getting good service of process on that one.  Though proving the loser part sure wouldn't be a problem.

John Edwards could redeem himself by employing the traditional Japanese practice of ritual seppuku. By publicly slitting his belly he could symbolically restore his lost honor and regain his dignity as a human being.

Yeah, he should spill his guts, but it won't work.
The Silky Pony is done. He will never recover.

a huge class action product liability lawsuit against the makers of the electronic voting machines.

You can almost imagine the Pony before a jury, phony tears streaming down his face as he claims dead, lost votes have spoken to him from beyond the election. Those dead votes are only asking for justice, so future votes do not suffer the way they have.
