DL Open Thread Wednesday July 27 2022

Today's top story only tangentially involves the convicted state auditor.  Last night Lydia York was endorsed by the Democratic State Executive Committee. Per the Del Dems web site, there are 27 voting members of the State Executive Committee. In addition to the statewide leadership, each subdivision is represented at the State Executive Committee by the subdivision chair, treasurer, and at-large members. According to sources, there were zero "no"votes, but two people abstained from the vote.  I can't imagine that anyone challenging a statewide incumbent ever got the endorsement of this committee.

Convicted State Auditor Conduct MUCH WORSE Than What Was Revealed in Court

With his shameful motion to dismiss the conviction of the State Auditor,  Woods opened a can of worms. Read the items that were excluded in his favor and see that one of the items was the convicted auditor's access to emails outside of the "State's enterprise."   So who was the subject of this (no doubt illegal) covert surveillance?  Who's email account outside of the "State's enterprise" was McGuiness keeping tabs on?   Now I'm hoping this goes to appeal, because I think we've only seen the tip of the shit-berg known as Kathy McGuiness' term as State Auditor.  

REV & Bill Cover The Special Session – People in Log Homes Shouldn’t throw Cans of Kerosene

Pete and his comrades in the GOP have a flimsy argument to make.  An argument as likely to fall on their heads as Bonini's rickety log home. The Kathy fight moves across the green to Legislative Hall as the State Senate considers a resolution to remove Kathy McGuiness from office. We walk through the play by play before talking about what might be next in the legislative process. Show Notes:

Shorter Pete: Kathy is innocent until a guilty verdict has been entered by the Superior Court and she is removed by the Governor. Also Today: - White supremacy at the heart of today's "pro-life" movement. - Only 49 days until Delaware's primary. Are you doing enough to help further retire the retired Cops who rule this state?

Vote Blue No Matter Who (?)

Establishment Dems exhort liberals and progressives to "hold their nose" and vote for execrable establishment Dems because otherwise "the bad Republicans will..blah blah blah..." But when someone the sober moderates…

Convicted State Auditor, Kathy McGuiness, is still ridiculous.  (See below). https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2022/07/the-independent-state-legislature-theory-is-both-transparently-idiotic-and-a-major-threat-to-american-democracy   The only operative unifying theory in all of these (“INDEPENDENT STATE LEGISLATURE” THEORY) cases is “Republicans are entitled…
