The best part of this? Judge Griesbach was appointed to the bench by George Wtf? Bush.

Johnson should have checked out the Judge before he filed suit. From Judgepedia:

“Judge Griesbach was a panelist on “How to Impress or Annoy a Judge” at PINNACLE’s Litigation, Dispute Resolution, and Appellate Practice Section Institute in 2011. He suggested that following local rules goes a long way toward impressing judges and mentions “kitchen-sink” complaints (where numerous claims are made when there is just one or two focal points) as an annoyance.”

This judge doesn’t like frivolous suits. Has even written a book on how not to annoy a judge.

What an absurd lawsuit! if Johnson doesn’t want to benefit from the subsidy, he has a simple remedy-write a check for the total amount to the charity of his choice.

If they hate government so much, why do they take the job?

Appeal, you stupid fuck! Strike a blow for Liberty! The Nazi-Stalinst-Pol Pot-Al Qaeda-Saddamist bill will remain on the books unless you make your stand N-O-W! Your children and their children can grow up as Baathist Maoist secular humanist Shintos unless you fight!!!

“Hopefully,Wisconsin voters will throw Johnson out in 2016.”

It’s amazing that Wisconsin voters chose him over Feingold, but then Feingold essentially tied his own hands behind his back during the campaign and in classic goo-goo Dem fashion brought a piece of soft tofu to a knife fight.

The accompanying picture is expressive; it says:

“‘I am a vacuous and petty man.’”

This putz. And then the GOP will scream, “Tort Reform!” Talk about a frivolous lawsuit and a monumental waste of time and dollars. .

In Johnson’s case, I suspect he just thought it would look good on his CV.

Also, white, and Republicant: ‘I am a vacuous petty white male Republicant’.

Of course, your own diminutive presupposes the ‘white’ and ‘Republicant’ features, which is generally reliable, though sadly not absolutely so.

It is hard apparently to say that Government does no good/causes you harm, when you are actively accepting the benefits.

O-care is genius and it even helps people with their medical problems I’ve heard : )

Feingold lost his way over time, similar to Arlan Specter in PA.
So much triangulating the job became a fantasy.

I would wager that he wonders why the coffee outside of the office tastes so different from the coffee in the office…

Judge throws Johnny’s lawsuit out…SO, much for that. More wasted taxpayer money on pointless party-line business.

What Does Your Trash Say About You? Johnnie.

Up for a little dumpster diving? Let’s take a look see. Of course the latest is this bit-of-trash…piles’n piles, of wasted time and money on Johnny’s stupid, F’G lawsuit.

Laying under that rather large heap, is a BIG BROWN manila envelope addressed to Nancy Pelosi, marked as ‘RETURN TO SENDER’… …I’m shocked, it’s true, Steven Colbert just asked Nancy about the rumored 'SELFIES she had of John. Some things are not meant to seen, but here is a truth about John, the ORGANGE GLOW about John ends at his neck…Cough, cough, excuse me I think I’m going to be sick.
