U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton will hold oral arguments on Monday, January 11, at 11:30 a.m., in Arizona Green Party v Bennett, 2:09-cv-2412-MHB. The Courthouse is at 401 W. Washington Street in downtown Phoenix, for anyone who may be near there and wishes to watch. The hearing is in room 502.
The issues are: (1) whether the Constitution protects the ability of out-of-state circulators to work on a petition to qualify a previously unqualified party; (2) whether due process demands that the new petition deadline to qualify a new party should not be in effect in 2010, because that change (from March 2010 to February 2010) was not in effect until October 2009, after the Green Party had already planned its timeline strategy for getting the 20,449 needed valid signatures.
One more constitutional law section — ALL election laws must be in force ZZZ days before the election involved.
— to stop the party hacks from making last second changes.
Almost too many holes in the dying U.S.A. Constitution ship to permit its emergency repair — to keep it afloat ???
Would this hearing have any affect on ballot petition process.
