		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;I&gt;It is also a sound Libertarian tactic to use the Supreme Court against the Federal government or any State government.&lt;/I&gt;

No itâ€™s not.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It is so comforting that we have G.E. to tell us what is libertarian and what isn&#039;t.   He is so confident he needs only to make an assertion and doesn&#039;t have to back it up.   

And if someone responds to him, he is so clever as to avoid it by changing the subject.

Thank you, G.E., for being consistently disingenuous.</description>

		<description>&quot;Still, the State of LA was wrong in keeping Barr and the Socialist off the ballot. The State of LA should be sued in the Supreme Court.

It is completely Libertarian to use the government courts against the government in order to gain freedom. &quot;

No, it isnt. Using federal power against a state is endorsing centralized governance.</description>

		<description>The Republicans, Democrats, LA Taxpayer&#039;s Party--all turned in their paperwork on September 5th, Richard is right.

But the LP didnt turn in until September 8th, I believe.</description>

		<description>The government doesn&#039;t own the air nor the airwaves. The Fairness Doctrine was repealed years ago, and nobody can own a non-scarce resource.</description>

&quot; I donâ€™t see why the LP or the Barr campaign didnâ€™t simply hand in their paperwork earlier, since Louisianaâ€™s requirements are so easy. If a group of Paul activists were able to get Ron Paul on the ballot, I donâ€™t see why the LP couldnâ€™t get Barr on the ballot.&quot;


Barr should be on the ballot in 49 states and DC.  It was reasonable to skip Oklahoma and sue.  The others were missed due to ballot drive management errors and incompetence.  The people running these efforts should be fired for incompetence and not paid.


Still, the State of LA was wrong in keeping Barr and the Socialist off the ballot.  The State of LA should be sued in the Supreme Court.

It is completely Libertarian to use the government courts against the government in order to gain freedom.  

We have to use the government roads, breathe the government&#039;s air, and we broadcast our messages over the government owned airwaves.  

We will have to do these things until we can privatize the ownership of all government owned businesses and resources, including the courts.</description>

		<description>Not pro-life, 

but maybe pro-wife ...


I think that both the pro-lifers and the pro-choicers are wrong and both are unlibertarian.</description>

		<description>GE, 

Are you some kind of hypocrite?  You advocate the right of succession - that would be a right of the States (among other groups).

It certainly is a sound Libertarian tactic to use States&#039; Rights as a tool to reduce the power of the Federal government.

It is also a sound Libertarian tactic to use the Supreme Court against the Federal government or any State government.

Seems like you are willing to use or cheer on the state to attack your opponents GE, why is that?


This appeal should go forward no matter which candidate or party was being screwed by the State.</description>

		<description>Yes, let the states&#039; rights Barr take his decision to the Supreme Court.

Very fitting for a man steeped in hypocrisy.

That would just about, but not quite, match him paying for his wife&#039;s abortion.</description>

		<description>richardwinger // Sep 27, 2008 at 10:25 am 

&quot;Even the Republicans and Democrats missed the statutory deadline in Louisiana. The statutory deadline was September 2, but as the 5th circuit itself says, the Reps and Dems didnâ€™t hand in theirs til September 5.&quot;


Richard,

Can they package the two rulings:  LA and TX into one Supreme Court appeal?

Seems the Supreme Court ought to either overturn one decision, or admit that the US does not have free elections.</description>
