Comments on: Nader Files Response Brief in His Lawsuit Against Democratic National Committee http://www.ballot-access.org/2008/04/04/nader-files-response-brief-in-his-lawsuit-against-democratic-national-committee/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:15:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=940 By: David Gaines http://www.ballot-access.org/2008/04/04/nader-files-response-brief-in-his-lawsuit-against-democratic-national-committee/comment-page-1/#comment-315857 David Gaines Sun, 06 Apr 2008 05:19:20 +0000 http://www.ballot-access.org/?p=3143#comment-315857 Someone did an enormous amount of homework on this brief. I found it to be incredibly dense and almost impossible reading, and Nader's briefs (including those filed on his behalf) are usually pretty clear and articulate. I wonder how much of a role he played in actually preparing the brief. A classic example of Nader's style was the letter he sent to Ed Rendell regarding that judge who sputtered the now-famous "most fraudulent exercise ever perpetrated on this court" line. He used simple mathematics to make his argument for him and demonstrate the impossibility of the judge making a correct ruling. It was rather masterful, but of course politics, biases, and cronyism overruled the cold truth of simple numbers. Someone did an enormous amount of homework on this brief.
