  1. take note of opinion footnote regarding NYS Const waiver:
    4 Plaintiffs also asserted claims under the provision of the New York State Constitution
    that is analogous to the First Amendment. The District Court held that these claims failed for the
    same reasons that plaintiffs’ First Amendment claims were subject to summary judgment.
    Although appellants do not appear to have made a direct statement that they have abandoned
    their state constitutional claims on this appeal, we agree with the appellees that they have in fact
    done so. The argument will therefore be treated by this Court as having been waived.

  2. Attention any and all MORONS stuck in the 1990s about term limits (even the armies of MORON judges) —

    The remedy is Proportional Representation.

    Total Votes / Total Seats = EQUAL votes needed for each seat winner via pre-election candidate rank order lists = ALL voters get represented = REAL Democracy.
