Could you possibly post a link to the full ruling?

I'll settle this. He's saying that about BOTH the RNC's lawyers and the judge. The RNC lawyers directly, and the judge indirectly. There's little chance the judge would have read that and not felt like it was somehow referring to him.

It wasn't about style, it was about substance. The judge found no substance in the claims. Here's one claim: “Defendants have unlawfully used State Bylaws.” Ok - which defendant, which state, which bylaw, and which of the plaintiffs was harmed?

AND, too many plaintiffs were involved. Fewer than 5 of the original 120+ plaintiffs were actually real delegates at the national convention. Some were alternates. Some were state delegates. Some were just random people who joined the bandwagon. He was all over the place as to whether he was...

Here are some key quotes from the judge in his initial ruling: "As previously noted, a court accepts as true a plaintiff’s well-pled factual allegations and construes all factual inferences in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. Manzarek v. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 519 F.3d 1025...

I'm one of at least 3 people talking about this subject, and I'm the one being extremely positive about it regarding Ron Paul and what he is doing right now. I haven't been negative at all about Ron's strategy in Louisiana. I feel it's relevant to the thread because that's what Richard Gilbert...

What's your explanation? Has Ron Paul lost control?

It's possible. It could very well affect an individual's chances of suing the RNC in the future if they have sued every state chairman and already lost.

What are you implying? Any explanation besides mine makes Ron Paul look REALLY bad. I'm going with glass half full here.

They didn't exactly involve me in the discussion, so I can't give you the play by play. But Ron Paul is in control of his campaign and is working with the RNC as the convention approaches. Between Ron Paul, his campaign managers, and his lawyers, a deal was worked in this dispute. Whether or not...

Ron Paul, via a surrogate.

One thing that was given up was the hope of Louisiana being one of 5 states needed to nominate Ron Paul. If the Paul side got their way, Ron Paul would have had 27 delegates out of 46 and they would have been able to put his name up for nomination. If the Republican Party of Louisiana got their...

This deal has absolutely nothing to do with Richard Gilbert, except to the extent that the lawsuit annoyed the RNC and they found the Paul campaign guilty by association (making them less likely to cooperate). They're not waiting on the edge of their seats to see what happens in the lawsuit...

And thusly, a possible motive for his actions in this case has been identified. Mr. Gilbert, based on recent tweets, does appear to be losing hope of this all working out in time. It's unclear what his plan is at this point besides just waiting for the judge.

I guess I'd argue that there may be competing interpretations of what constitutes the "best" for the delegate plaintiffs. One might be able to make a strong argument that it would be best for them if they dropped out as plaintiffs and never allowed Richard Gilbert to represent them again. Maybe...
