From Courant.com:
In a quarrelsome end to an extraordinary trial, the lawyer for the Republican Party said Thursday that a judge should throw out the lawsuit in which Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz seeks a ruling that she is eligible to run for attorney general.
“Waah, waah, waah! I want to be attorney general, and I’m going to get my way in court!” is how the GOP’s lawyer, Eliot Gersten, characterized Bysiewicz’s stance as plaintiff in her lawsuit against her own office and the Democratic Party. She wants the party to nominate her for attorney general at its convention May 22.
Gersten’s comment touched off an animated finale to lawyers’ arguments in the trial at Superior Court in Hartford that began April 14. The judge, Michael Sheldon, said that he would work with “all deliberate speed” toward a decision but that it would not come this week.
