On March 16, Scotusblog posted its “Cert petition of the day”, which is Libertarian Party of North Dakota v Jaeger. Scotusblog editors had previously said they would feature this case, but now have actually done so. See here.
On March 12, North Dakota sent a letter to the U.S. Supreme Court, waiving its right to file a response.
In other U.S. Supreme Court news, the Court held a conference on March 16 on whether to hear Maslow v New York State Board of Elections, 11-857. The Court will probably reveal on March 19 whether it wants to hear this case. The issue is whether a state may make it illegal for someone to circulate a petition to get a candidate on the primary ballot, if the circulator is not a registered member of the candidate’s party. The lower court had upheld the New York state law, which prevented a wife from helping circulate her husband’s petition to get on a primary ballot.
What New Age case has brought up —
Separate is NOT equal.
Brown v Bd of Ed 1954
Was the 14th Amdt written in part to protect Elephants in the Donkey ex-slave States — i.e. in getting Elephant ballot box access (even before the Official ballots) ???
