Discussion: Minnesota GOP Had No Idea Their Supreme Court Nominee Has A DWI Case Pending

Wait. She was arrested in April 2013 and her case won’t go to trial until September 2014? Must be one hell of a backlog in the Minnesota courts. Also, does telling a cop you’re a “reserve cop”, whatever that is, and a lawyer constitute obstruction of justice? Presumably she told the cop this to try to get out of the arrest.

The “reasonable doubt” trial strategy. How compelling.

Yeah, but she’s a Republican lawyer, not one of those evil trial lawyers that actually have to go before a judge and know the law and all that fancy stuff…

Minnesota republicans are the dumbest republicans alive. Have been since WW I.

She went to a “law school” that was essentially a bar exam prep course.

“…why am I being asked to go to a trial where they cannot prove anything…”

Because the Republican Party, her party, believes in Sharia Law, under a different name of course.

We here in Minnesota as republicans are just a tiny part of the National Republican Party. But you better understand that we are just as uninformed, blind, greedy, resentful, backstabbing, lying ,cheating as every republican is in this country. Let us not be forgotten.

So, in other words, you’ve got nothing. Very well then–I accept your capitulation.

You are dismissed.

Sure. And they also had no idea that the Capitol of the State is St.Paul. Just ask them, they’ll tell you. Honest they didn’t.
Would they lie? (You bet your hot dish!)

Headline could have ended after the fifth word and been perfectly fine.

So the GOP drives you to drinking .

Dang. Bundy Fever is spreading.

Steroid abuse didn’t disqualify their governor. She’s probably quite representative, if nothing else.

For a second there, I thought TPM had reprinted an article from The Onion. Then I saw “Minnesota GOP.”

I loved the 1990 election season in MN. Arne Carlson came in at the last minute and won it for the GOP. We had a pro-life Dem and a pro-choice Republican running for governor! Paul Wellstone and his brilliant underdog campaign that defeated Rudy Boschwitz. I, like many, split my ticket voting for both Carlson and Wellstone. Then 4 years later the stupid GOP didn’t even endorse Carlson, the sitting governor!
