U.S. Supreme Court Receives Eight Amici Briefs in Opposition to Minnesota’s Ban on Political Clothing, but No Briefs on Minnesota’s Side

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear Minnesota Voters Alliance v Mansky, 16-1435, on February 28. This is the case in which the lower courts upheld Minnesota’s ban on political clothing at the polls. Eight organizations have submitted amicus briefs in support of the people who challenged the ban. No amici briefs have been filed in defense of the law.

Anyone may read any of the briefs using this U.S. Supreme Court page. The eight organizations opposed to the ban are: the ACLU, the Southeast Legal Foundation, CATO Institute, the Goldwater Institute, the James Madison Center for Free Speech, the Justice & Freedom Fund, the ACRU, and the Center for Competitive Politics (which has since changed its name to the Free Speech Institute).

U.S. Supreme Court Receives Eight Amici Briefs in Opposition to Minnesota’s Ban on Political Clothing, but No Briefs on Minnesota’s Side — 6 Comments

  1. Any banning of blue and red clothes in polling places ???

    — regardless of 1990 color blind internet MORONS

    — who made communist RED Donkeys into New Age blue and fascist BLUE Elephants into New Age red.

    One more conspiracy by the usual suspects to confuse Voters, media, world, outer space, cats and dogs, etc. ???

  2. Another example of censorship which has nothing to do with conducting an election. Once the ballot police could censor who could appear on the ballot they began spraying their acid on voters directly. Anything not planned and compulsory is suspect and prohibited if it cannot be taxed – yet. If the ballot police can ban certain clothes they could ban all clothes. Perhaps election officials should work nude to show their job dedication.

  3. Oregon, etc. survive with ALL snail mail paper ballots.

    Any votes for any Nudist Party — having nothing to hide ???
