Sizemore: The Black Knight

In Bill Sizemore's mind, he has been repeatedly and unfairly burned by the courts, and yet he displays the oddest inclination to continue to trust the court system to save him from the "unfair" liberal attacks against him.

He was apparently so sure that the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals would throw out Measure 26 that he hired petitioners who ignored the measure and conducted business as usual, paying by the signature. But the Court didn't save him.

Measure 26 holds chief petitioners personally responsible when their petitioners break the law. Sizemore now says, "I hope they come after us with big fines so we can get it thrown out by a federal judge." Huh? Does he believe his own blustering bullshit?

Sizemore's continued denial of reality reminds me of the Black Knight in Monty Python's "Holy Grail" who continues to threaten King Arthur even after the king has chopped off both of his arms and legs.
