Sisyphus: Dave, he has to show six illegal votes FOR Kennedy. I'm still mightily confused how we get a trial without an indispensable party. Attorney fees in this case are well into the six figures. This isn't justice.

DFO: I talked to a couple of people on Councilman Mike Kennedy's side of the aisle after the hearing Wednesday. They welcomed the various rulings, especially the various rejected ones from Jim Brannon attorney Starr Kelso. And weren't surprised that Judge Charles Hosack rejected the motion for summary judgment. They considered themselves winners at the end of the day. It sounds like the judge is letting this go to trial simply to ensure that Brannon supporters can't whine that they didn't get their day in court. As evidence that the day didn't go well for Brannon Wednesday, Ancient Templar at OpenCDA.com is already yapping that this case should go to the U.S. Supreme Court. He's the No. 4 post under: "It's going to trial" here. If you can imagine that.

Question: If Jim Brannon loses again in the court trial before currently unpersuaded Judge Charles Hosack, do you think that'll be the end of this case?
