Bad enough the Democrats pull election shenanigans, but now the E-GOP is openly doing it as well.

The Judge, "you knew the rules months ago"?  VA just changed the rules in October, didn't it?

From my understanding the rules were in place in plenty of time, but the method used to count signatures was modified at the last minute.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

My understanding is that the verification procedure was entirely changed.
Under the previous procedure both Gingrich and Perry would have qualified.

And yes, Paul winning in VA is what they deserve and quite possibly what
we need.  It will definitely turn over the apple cart.

ETA: It won't be a big apple cart, VA goes on Super Tuesday so the influence
will not be as dramatic as an independent event would have been.
