'Reality Bites' in Ward Rep. Case

The Springfield Republican ran a headline today that read "Realities muddle voting rights suit". 'Muddle'?

No. More like "kills".

US District Judge Michael A. Ponsor sounded like he had enough of listening to the stupidity and questioned whether the proposal to create nine voting districts across the city would really advance equal voting rights, saying "It does collide with logic".

In perhaps the greatest moment of hilarity in an entirely hilarious proceeding, Judge Ponsor pointed out the one thing that no one seemed to touch on that would, you know, be important.

"I'm, frankly, surprised to see a proposal in which..... five of the nine districts are overwhelmingly white." He said. Ponsor also questioned whether this suit came in a little too late, as blacks and Hispanics now constitute a majority of the population in Springfield.

Fortunately Ponsor's bright enough to be setting aside the B.S. so we can get to the real reason we're wasting tax dollars on this trial, that being how far-left groups can insure that their candidates are elected without hassle to the city council year in and year out.

The best, I'm sure, is yet to come.
