Carl Romanelli is going to Washington, and he’s hoping to take down an entire political party on his way there.

While planning to appeal his yearlong legal battle to the U.S. Supreme Court, he announced on Thursday his assault on the Democratic Party, starting with its members in the state judiciary.

Romanelli, of Wilkes-Barre, briefly gained national notoriety in 2006 when he jumped into what pundits considered one of the nation’s most controversial U.S. Senate campaigns between former GOP Sen. Rick Santorum and current Sen. Bob Casey Jr., D-Scranton.

Democrats successfully challenged many of the signatures the Romanelli campaign collected, resulting in his being booted from the ballot.

He took the argument to court and was saddled with what he feels are unfair fees totaling about $80,000 imposed by a biased state court system.

Romanelli said he believes that he was ousted from the ballot illegally and alleges the entire Democratic Party is complicit in keeping third-party candidates off ballots.
