Since tomorrow is a good day for arguing in the Supreme Court, here's the 3 briefs filed in the matter of Verizon versus the Sec. of State

By -
CHopefully, this won't bring my server to it's knees. Each one of the linked briefs are 3.34 megabyte .pdf files.

What's linked to this post are the briefs outlining why Verizon thinks the cell phone tax repeal should be placed on the ballot by the Secretary of State.

While the other party involved in all of this, the anti-Video Lottery group is much more vocal (and controversial), Verizon smartly knows it's not going to accomplish anything by putting TV commercials on the air bashing the Secretary of State. They're satisfied to simply have their day in court.

So, as you''re reviewing these, the first post is the Petitioner's Brief. The second, is the Respondent's Brief in Opposition of Petition for Writ of Mandamus. And the final one is the Petitioner's Reply Brief.

Again, these are all adobe .pdf's, 3.34 meg in size (around 51 pages each).

I want to take some time to read all of these, so in the interest of timliness, we can read them at the same time. I'll have more to say on it as we get into the weekend.

Enjoy.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...
