   TURMEL: MedPot Donald Cote "Hail Mary Pass" Judged Incomplete   
      
   JCT: You'll remember that after being jerked around for 8   
   months by rejecting original signatures as not, double   
   cancer-sufferer Donald Cote moved for an interim exemption   
   to start his garden now.   
      
   Suddenly, on their fourth review, they notice that he used a   
   chiropractor and they're not qualified to prescribe!!! So   
   rather than admit he'd made a strategic mistake and just go   
   start over, I threw a "Hail Mary Pass" asking the judge to   
   grant it anyway just because he has an qualifying disease   
   and has suffered enough.   
      
   "Dismissed without costs." It has almost no chance to get   
   through. Had he granted it, they could have had him on   
   appeal in front of 3 other judges in no time.   
      
   But I did get the chance to stress how they were responsible   
   for most of the delay because they failed to inform him of   
   the fatal flaw on the first review. Then he could have   
   corrected and been registered a month later. So even though   
   the judge couldn't help given the fatal defect discovered,   
   at least he found out that Donald was deprived the last 6   
   months before of their failure to inform him.   
      
   And it let me stress their use of the "non-original" ruse!   
   Twice. Now when we bring the other "non-original" rejectees   
   to his attention, he'll have background reason to be even   
   more angry.   
      
   Looks like he's found a doctor who will sign his medical   
   document. Wonder if he should let the doctor sign it in   
   black ink just to see if the Gremlin rejects it a third   
   time. Forget it. Blue ink, get the man his permit.   
      
   And then we'll see how long they take to process it this   
   time. Hope they flagged his file. Because, after 4 weeks,   
   he'll be back before Judge Brown and then won't they look   
   bad. Is he supposed to wait another 6 or 8 months? Bet not.
