perhaps in your partisan mind, however the reality is that the DNC is seeking the rule of law.

And just so I understand you, are you arguing that supporting any law dealing with elections is ethical? Does that include poll taxes or grandfather clauses? How about requiring all hispanic looking voters show proof of citizenship before allowing them to vote by having INS stationed outside the polling locations?
Those are not germaine to the issue at hand, You're drawing comparisons to laws that disenfranchise a voter, not rules on the process of a candidate being qualified to be on a ballot.

Quote:
How can you honestly argue that trying to keep a candidate off the ballot on a small technicality is ethical. Just because you can do something legally does not make it ethical. You need a better argument than just it's legal.
It isn't an argument of anything being "legal" it is seeking enforcement of the law, which BTW were follwed by all other candidates.

Hell even Epitome agrees that this is a shady practice by the dems. And can you honestly say if the shoes were reversed and it was the republicans who were trying to keep a candidate off of the ballot through lawsuits that you wouldn't be hollering unethical practice? I seriously doubt it.
what a mind reader you are.

There is nothing unethical in seeking enforcement of the law when that law is equitable.
