CRAIG v HOLDER, et al. (TENTH CIRCUIT)

Not a banner day for Stevie at the Tenth Circuit.

New Docket Entries...

Did this guy file papers after he requested his case to be dismissed, or is this just a cleanup after dismissal was granted ?

In Craig v. Holder, it would appear that he is attempting to get his lawsuit certified as a superfund site.

So this remains the STATUS with the responses timely filed.

Three weeks of active court days says little as to which way the court is leaning until a new Order is made.

However, I have concluded that regardless of what the next Order might say, I have already WON this round and am convinced I have the argument down in in such a manner consistent with the Constitution and the Rule of Law that the SCOTUS will have no choice but to take Jurisdiction and comply to a Writ of Mandamus to answer the "Question".

No idea what SL is babbling about.

The Craig suits are fine examples of how the role of village idiot has evolved in just a few short decades.

It wasn't that long ago that the village idiot's lectures, visions, sermons, eureka moments, indictments and self-proclaimed accomplishments suffered from poor distribution. In the case of my town, the entire broadcast area was limited to roughly that stretch of Main Street running from the First Baptist Church to the second gas pump. Moreover, since it didn't take long for a newcomer to conclude that the village idiot was, well, the village idiot, no one actually listened to him.

It wasn't that we didn't care. We did. Among other things, we sincerely hoped that he would avoid getting run over by a pulp truck (no one wanted to see that) and that he would refrain from scaring children and pissing on the sidewalk. Sure, a few mean-spirited people mocked him or gave him a hard time, but it was mostly a matter of live and let live. The poor fellow just wasn't right in the head, if you know what I mean.

Who knew that there would one day be blogs, web sites and social media where people would gather from far and wide to listen to -- and even believe -- village idiots from across the country?

He was over on Dr C's site a few weeks back. I thought having to listen to Strunk yammer on was bad enough. This guy I think was a lot worse. He believed in the fallacy of making long arguments with misunderstood legal jargon. He ran off pretty quickly

The government’s motion to dismiss is GRANTED and the petition for review is DISMISSED. Mr. Craig’s request for certification to the United StatesSupreme Court is DENIED.
PETITION DISMISSED.
