Brimer Loses In Court - Again
Tue, 07/22/2008 - 3:01pm
Republican State Senator Kim Brimer has tried to find some way to prevent Wendy Davis from running against him time and time again this cycle — understandably so, I suppose, considering the string of ethics complaints against Brimer that have made him a particularly weak incumbent. He went to bat again recently with his lawsuit to take Davis off the ballot, and today he struck out once again.
It seems likely that Brimer will appeal the decision — though considering the numerous ways his case has been shot down in the courts (this time with the court stating that the alleged violation was de minimis, or too trivial for it to be an issue), I'm not sure that an appeal does anything other than waste campaign funds. Perhaps he thinks his constituents and donors won't mind his tacit endorsement of frivolous lawsuits. Who knows?
