My message was clearly posted, and my arguments clearly laid out. It wasn't until you accused me of having a fondness for sodomy that I engaged in a less factual approach. Your paranoia is becoing acute. As for my real name, it is indeed Ben Dover. My parents had a twisted sense of humor.

DesertLandEntryman wrote on July 16, 2008 08:20 PM: Dear Mr. [or Miss] Bend Over,
Woodbury was appointed District A commissioner 27 years ago, by his buddies in land extortion. He is henchman for Mark Gibbons [a/k/a RS Properties; RB Properties;...]. Woodbury and his LVMPD buddy Lt. Smitley, etc., has been attempting to extort my 160-acres in Laughlin, for the last 20 years. All federal judges have given him a free pass in extortion. However, currently, federal Judge Brian Sandoval is hearing the Quiet Title Action that Woodbury's law firm filed against me & my entire family, to take my land, via extortion. Mr. Sandoval is from Reno, and he is not a Woodbury henchman in Las Vegas, like Hunt, George and Pro is. The times are a changing, and Woodbury shall reap the justice he deserves, whether re-elected or not.

Funny, last year, his henchmen in the NV legislature [the Hardy boys] made a law that made Woodbury the ADMINISTRATOR of 9,000 acres of State public land in Laughlin! His development corporations have almost a $ million invested for his re-election!

In short, bend over, & Woodbury will provide all the grease required to perform.

A perfect example of how stupid the "normal" voter is. The ones in the Senate who can't run again, IF the SC does the right thing, will simply run for the Assembly and vice versa. That way, they all get AT LEAST another 12 years sucking up the taxpayers' money for doing absolutely nothing but increasing taxes.

Ben Dover wrote on July 16, 2008 04:30 PM: Thanks for that clarification Tim. Hopefully, next time the people have spoken they will have done so with enough knowledge of the language to do so with more coherence and a modicum of grammarical style.
But again, sincere thanks from me and all the other dummys (sic).

Term limits or not they need to go.
....but if the supreme court can twist something to their benefit or the benefit of 'special interests' thye have done it before and they most likely will do it again and again until they are stopped.
Thats what most people are uptight about.
The people of Nevada are sick of it.

Steve wrote on July 16, 2008 03:54 PM: I don't think most of you understand what is taking place here. You are knee jerking to term limits and not looking at what is really happening...because you don't understand!

The Supreme Court is not setting aside term limits in the Buckley or Woodbury cases. They are defining when term limits take effect for the two categories. Under the Nevada Constitution legislators take office the day after they're elected and all other elected officials take office in January after their election. Therefore, according to the Constitution, legislators elected in 1996 are able to run for one more term. Half of the Senate ran for the last time in 2006 and the other half will run this time...for the last time.

There is not sneaky moves by the legislators in bringing this to the Courts now...they didn't bring it to the Courts. As a matter of fact the legislators were operating under an opinion issued by (then Attorney General) Frankie Sue Del Papa which set the dates that legislators would serve their last terms.

So, term limits have not been thrown out by the Court! They are going to go by the Constitution for the official time they take effect...just as A.G. Del Pappa 12 years ago.

Don't be so uptight...in two years all Assemblymen and half the Senate will be gone and two years after that they other half of the Senate will be gone as perscribed in the Constitution!

I know everyone want the law to follow the Constitution!

Some may think term limits are unconstitutional...that is another discussion for another day.
