Michigan Rep. John Conyers failed to collect enough signatures to get a spot on the primary ballot, why should that stand in his way? After Conyers appealed to secretary of state and lost, a judge brazenly overruled the secretary’s decision:

Um. The judge ruled that the req'ment that signature gatherers be registered voters violates their #1A rights. (p10) http://t.co/TJu3OOwG0K

CORRUPTION: John Conyers did not get valid signatures to get on ballot. Election board says no. Judge puts him on anyway.

Well, maybe TOMORROW will be the day election laws start applying to Democrats. Congrats, John Conyers!
