Our nation has no civic virtue left. That's why we are where we are. We are completely fucked.

Glen Lerner's crew is sort of a bunch of dicks. Not too bad, just needlessly confrontational.

OBC is willing to go after whomever Jane Ann Morrison tells them to go after and persecute.

Saw this in the California Bar Journal. Seemed interesting given some similar conduct of a Nevada attorney recently.

"Court disbars attorney after stun gun, pepper spray threat" – http://calbarjournal.com/November2016/AttorneyDiscipline/Feature.aspx

The disbarred attorney was Doug Crawford. We have a Doug Crawford here who ran into some problems. Wonder if it is the same dude.

Nah, you're thinking of Douglas Clinton Crawford, NV Bar # 181, barred since 1985. Took a 5 year suspension back in 2007. The California guy was Douglas James Crawford. He graduated Cal Western and was first barred in California in 1999.

Does anything happen if "None of these Candidates" prevails over Hardesty?

Nothing whatsoever. "None of these Candidates" votes aren't considered.

NRS 293.269 (2)

2.  Only votes cast for the named candidates shall be counted in determining nomination or election to any statewide office or presidential nominations or the selection of presidential electors, but for each office the number of ballots on which the additional line [that is, the "None of these Candidates" line] was chosen shall be listed following the names of the candidates and the number of their votes in every posting, abstract and proclamation of the results of the election.

There you have it. They get reported, but they aren't considered when deciding who won or lost the election.

There you have it nothing. It is a protest vote. To say it has no bearing is bullshit.

12:57 – Fine. Perhaps you would be so good as to explain exactly what conditions have to be met for the "None of these Candidates" votes to affect the result of the election.

2:00, I do understand English and multiple other languages. You cannot read a three sentence post. Must be a Trump supporter.

Hardesty is an asshole that has to go. Please someone run against these justices and appellate judges. Anybody but the perennial candidates will do. Silver also needs to go.

Noticed the sign on the new appellate court building: "Supreme Court of Nevada" in big letters…"Nevada Court of Appeals" in smaller letters under that. I'm really surprised it didn't have "Hardesty Justice Center" on it in ginormous letters

Yes to the Cubs, no to Eric Johnson. You elect him, who was Sandoval's choice, not yours, and you will over pay him with two pensions, Eighth Judicial District Court and US Attorney's Office. Give someone else a chance on the bench.
