                   SUING THEIR WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE

  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, most people think this election will be 
close. Already, the Democrat party has assembled a legal team and 
campaign account to file a series of lawsuits on Election Day. 
Democrats are again preparing to sue their way to the White House by 
raising money to challenge election results.
  This is not a new tactic for liberals, and that is what John Kerry 
and John Edwards are, the first and fourth most liberal Members of the 
Senate.
  This political strategy has been used by liberals for years, to win 
by litigation what they cannot win through legislation. They have used 
this method to enact a large part of their social agenda in past years.
  Mr. Speaker, it is easier to manipulate words, to dupe a few liberal 
unelected judges than to collectively fool the American people, but the 
American people are on to it. We hold elections for a reason: to allow 
the people to choose their own leaders, not lawyers and judges.
  This should not be another ploy to challenge our democratic process.
