Ed Martin: Carnahan is "the devil," and my lawsuit is just a "nuisance"
Recently, at a Missouri Roundtable for Life "town hall" event in St. Joseph, MOGOP Chairman Emeritus Eddie Martin shared a few thoughts on Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, the legitimacy of his ballot language lawsuits, and the involvement of Satan in the affairs of the state:
For those of you scoring at home:
- At least some of the Roundtable's legal actions against the state are, in Martin's own words, a "nuisance."
- Ed Martin told his audience that Secretary of State Robin Carnahan
- is "the devil," an agent of the devil or under the power of the devil
- "doesn't need to be honest" and "doesn't want to be honest"
- and is also one "smartest people in public life in America right now"
I bet the judges, lawyers and clerks will be glad to know that Ed Martin and the Roundtable are just wasting their time so that Ed Martin can feel good about himself.
As for the satanic control of Robin Carnahan -- well, I have no idea what to make of that.
Here's the text of what Martin said:
If you don't know this, you need to know this one thing: The Secretary of State in Missouri is the most anti-life, most obstructionist, most unpleasant, and one of the smartest people in public life in America right now.
She is very, very devious. She does -- with a, with a clever hand -- she does the devil's work [inaudible]. It is easy when you see someone who is a terribly unpleasant, you know, nasty, hateful person, you say, "Well the devil's got a hold of that person."
This woman, the devil, she's figured out how to really damage our efforts to do amendments to the Constitution, to do initiatives for other conservative, good government things. I mean, she will, she does everything for one thing in mind: politics of the left, and her own advancement.
And Robin Carnahan, you haven't heard the last of her, I assure you. She's going to be running for the United States Senate. And, you know, it's an amazing thing. But, we have sued her. And have put her on the spot. We've litigated against her. Some of it, to be candid, is nuisance. We're sort of tussled with her to try to keep her honest. To be candid, it doesn't work on her. Because she doesn't need to be honest, doesn't want to be honest. But we've done it.
What in the world are we supposed to make of this?

No, this is not an April Fool's joke
Some have asked. That's really Ed Martin.
The Devil is in the details
"A lawyer shall not bring or defend a proceeding, or assert or controvert an issue therein, unless there is a basis in law and fact for doing so that is not frivolous...."
Abusing the System
I understand being an attorney advocate but Martin has crossed a bright line. Admitting in a public forum that he uses litigation as a stall tacitic to jam up the system, run out time and cost taxpayers money through frivolous legal challenges is an abuse of the system. Can't lawyers get disbarred for being unethical and abusing their license?
Three fingers back at ya
I say that when one points at someone three fingers point back at themselves. After all some people have worked directly in Rome. Maybe we could implant blastocysts in everyones hrmm stomache. Or maybe someone could teach the use of condoms when other methods aren't going to work. After all condoms do prevent disease also right Italy? Maybe we could allow woman the right to their own bodies. Or maybe we can file a lawsuit for fraud against Martin. I am sure admitting that he is intentionally wasting the states time and resources has got to be a crime in some fashion.
