I don't live in Indianapolis, and don't know how cases are transferred to Marion County judges. Can I correctly assume that the assignment to Judge Rosenberg (in both matters) was not by coincidence?

I'm not an attorney, but I see this as a loser argument for Lugar.

Our state constitution clearly speaks: "No person shall be deemed to have lost his residence in the State, by reason of his absence, either on business of this State or of the United States."

In Lugar's case, he didn't lose his residency by his absence on business of the U. S. as the constitution clearly states. Lugar lost his residency be terminating it. He sold the property and moved out. He could make argument if he had a place to live, that he was gone on U. S. business. But by his act of selling it, having no domicile in Indiana, and residing outside the state, he clearly cannot use the constitutional argument. It is clear the constitution was intended to allow him to serve the U. S. and not have his residency questioned (if he had a residency). Once Lugar gave up his residency and had no domicile, that provision of our state constitution no longer applied.
