Tell these Legal Foundations,as they call themselves to go straight to????? and stop meddling,all of them are like the ACLU, fools in my opinion,always using tax payers money,in court battles to cause trouble,Robert Orr really speaks for no one I am sure,not for the people of North Carolina,the schools need the revenue from the lottery,like all of the other states that have the lottery. P.S The people will win in the end,these want to be dictators will be put back in there little corner and fade... [ More ]

It will suprise me if we EVER have a lottery in NC. If there were LESS people wanting a lottery, we would have been the first state to have one.----------------------------SDRAWKCAB ERA EW

It will never make it to a vote by the general public. We are not 'qualified' to make decisions like that.

It doesn't matter what the people want - only what the chosen protectors want. It happns whether it is a goup of four or a group of a thousand. They know how people should act, what they should do, and how it should be said. They always know what is right for you, and will damn you if you go against them.

You couldn't be more wrong.NC will have a lottery once these idiot conservative self-rightous holier than thou rabble-rousers are shown the door.These are the same people who have used every trick in the book to prevent the lottery for the last 20 years.They have finally lost,yet they don't care about the will of the people at all.They only want their own way.Too late for them.This is their last volley before the games being and they know it.Orr is trying to hand pick a friendly judge to change...

I don't understand....how can these people fight what the people want? These are just a group of people in a minority that are either religious nuts or have nothing else to do with their time. The people of North Carolina want a lottery so give it to them. If this doesn't pass they can just propose a ballot measure for November and the people will vote it in that way. Either way NC will have a working lottery this year.Brad

An anti-lottery legal foundation wants a judge to prevent the North Carolina Education Lottery from doing any work while a lawsuit challenging the lottery's passage in the Legislature is heard.In a filing late Friday in Wake County Superior Court, Robert Orr with the North Carolina Institute for Constitutional Law filed a motion asking a judge to order the lottery commission to stop operating for now.The proposed preliminary injunction also would keep state officials from loaning the commission...
