Or waiting till Friday to write that letter. Jablonski shouldn't be in too much hurry.
Didn't we agree he had 30 days to respond to ANY of these?
Didn't we agree that the petitions are invalid until they name the right defendant?
Didn't the Butterfly just explain to me that he was never properly served in any event?
And didn't we agree that the

lawyers

for the plaintiffs would have a damn difficult time advancing the case at all before the primary (two weeks from today)?
Maybe I'm confuzzled. I was hoping for crickets for a few more days, and HatfIrion starting to flip out.
Well, that was my inclination. But as I keep trying to explain to people here.... Jablonski has a client. Jablonski's job is to advise his client as to legal options, offer his opinion as to pros & cons.... and then
follow his client's instructions. Jablonski's client happens to be a Harvard Law graduate, former President of Harvard Law Review, & former Univ. of Chicago Constitutional Law professor, as well as a master political tactician, who has a whole slew of other, equally well-qualified lawyers at his disposal. So Jablonski does
not have the type of client who says, "yes Mr. Jablonski, whatever you think is best....".
I posted previously that Jablonski had one obligation, and one only, after receipt of the paperwork wherein his client was improperly named as a party & improperly served via his former counsel: that was to transmit the paperwork to his client and request further instructions.
Obviously his client decided that getting all the cases consolidated early on was the best move.
I'd note that I do NOT think that the letter constitutes a formal appearance on behalf of Obama - instead he references the local rule that requires attorneys to notify the court when cases are related. Note that he specifically requests that they all be in front of
Judge Wright.
Maybe Jablonski really likes Judge Wright. Maybe Mr. Jablonski & Mr. Obama were impressed with the high caliber of Judge Wright's recent order denying Ms. Taitz' phv application.
I mean... I've also posted before ... Mr. Obama knows how to catch a fly. A good legal tactician also recognizes when it is time to switch course & seize an opportunity as it arises.
