On October 22, the Connecticut legislature’s Government Administration & Elections Committee heard testimony from the Attorney General, and from officials who run the state’s public funding program. See this newspaper story. The Attorney General seemed to hope that the legislature won’t amend the public funding bill, because he believes he can overturn the U.S. District Court ruling of August 27 that invalidated it. The other witnesses seemed to prefer the legislature to revise the system this year, so that it no longer severely discriminates against independent candidates for state office.
Meanwhile, the briefs in the appeal to the 2nd circuit will all be submitted by December 30, 2009.
How and when does election law discrimination become suddenly OK or NOT OK ???
Answer — when the party hack Supremes get 5 of 9 votes for ANY scheme === TOTAL EVIL LAWLESS machinations — using more and more vague adjectives and adverbs — regardless of the EQUAL protection in 14th Amdt, Sec. 1.
