Just saw the Palm Beach County Judge David Crow live giving his ruling on Allen West's motion for an injunction regarding his apparent defeat in Florida's 18th Congressional district against Patrick Murphy...pardon my disjointed narrative, but I was attempting to type as Judge Crow was speaking, and am reconstructing the general bits of his ruling as I go. Here's the gist of what he said was the basis of his denial of the injunction:
There are requirements with regard to injunctive relief as it is rarely granted, and only under circumstances where the plaintiff has proved the requirements that he would suffer irreparable harm, that he can prove the merits, and that it would service public purpose.
Judge Crow stated that not only has he not proved these requirements, but that the Affidavits provided as part of his motion were "woefully short" of what would be required for an injunction.
