Last federal case probably. The Democratic states Attorneys Generals mostly have not signed onto the lawsuit because they don't want to be bound by unfavorable settlement terms (sorry I can't remember where I read that in the last couple days)

- charliemil4 6y agoyes, please read my last comment with a /s ... I just find the politics of this all amusing.
- wokwokwok 6y agoI don't understand what that means; this isn't reddit, please don't just post blatantly false statements.
- charliemil4 6y agoThis means Louisiana's Governor is John Edwards, a democrat, and normally one refers to a US State being led by a Governor... not an AG. Though a legal filing is led by an AG... so the comments when added together led to ambiguity I found funny, and decided to play with. I should have linked to the Governor first, and fully explained my joke. I understand comedy is not what we come here for, but sometimes, it's good to not take everything so seriously.
- dmix 6y agoAs gundmc implied[1] it's probably best to wait unto after the election when looking for signals of credibility from the other party. It's be foolish to just the merits of the case merely on that now. [1]https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24842390 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24842390
- geoelectric 6y agoThat's a good point. Right now it's unclear whether the Dem AGs really do reject the suit or whether they just don't want to add legitimacy pre-election. Did sound an awful lot like they thought the suit was ill-timed and half-baked, though. I might have been misled by editorial content in the reporting.
- gundmc 6y agoThe democratic states said they will look to merge with this case in the coming weeks if they determine charges are appropriate.
