Delaware Appeals U.S. District Court Decision That Struck Down Requirement that All State Judges Must be Democrats or Republicans

On January 5, Delaware appealed the decision of the U.S. District Court in Adams v Carney. The U.S. District Court on December 6, 2017, had struck down a Delaware law that the only people eligible to be appointed a state judge are people who are members of a political party that is entitled to its own primary. In Delaware, only parties with 5% of the registration are entitled to a primary, so effectively only Democrats and Republicans may be appointed to a state judicial position.

The plaintiff who won the case in U.S. District Court, James R. Adams, is a registered independent.

  1. 1787 Const 1-10-1 No State shall *** grant any Title of Nobility.

    ie *special* powers, rights, privileges, immunities for *nobility* folks — for thousands of years.

    14th Amdt. later in 1868.

    Will the USA military have to liberate little DE from its nobility/oligarchs ???

  2. LOL, what the hell was Delaware thinking? Sure the US has the least democratic electoral system in the western world but you have to at least pretend it’s fair. The rigging can’t be THAT blatant.

  3. BMM — Oligarchs, even gerrymander minority rule oligarchs, ONLY think of POWER and CONTROL —

    nothing new in 6,000 plus years of recorded history.

    ie A govt/regime of the oligarchs, by the oligarchs and for the oligarchs

    — and (expletive deleted) the People (in the majority).

    ALL so-called monarch regimes are oligarch regimes since the figurehead needs lots of oligarchs for control — Mussolini, Hirohito, Stalin, Hitler, etc.

    Thus — Majority-People vs Minority-Oligarchs
    —-
    PR and AppV

  4. Smaller regimes are often more EVIL / corrupt —

    see the Dorr’s War in early 1840s in little Rhode Island —

    power struggle over Elector definition and legislature gerrymander

    — part of the set up for Civil WAR 1 in 1859-1861.

    Who can find DE and RI on a world map ???
