Law Professor Mark R. Brown has this op-ed in the April 10 Columbus, Ohio Dispatch. The op-ed concerns the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court case Doe v Reed, which is being argued on April 28. Brown says that a recent amicus curiae brief filed by Ohio’s Attorney General, and co-signed by 17 other states, is wrong. The amicus argues that the names and addresses of people who sign petitions must be made public, or forged signatures will not be uncovered. Brown rebuts the amicus.
Brown is the attorney who has filed three of the four pending ballot access cases in the U.S. Supreme Court. Brown authored the cert petitions in the Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi ballot access cases. The fourth ballot access case before the U.S. Supreme Court is from Florida. The Court has not yet said whether it will hear any of these four cases.
Mark Brown is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I have met on ballot access litigation.
Has Mr. B. ever had the brain cells to detect that —
separate is NOT equal — Brown v. Bd of Ed 1954 ???
— NOT brought up in the MORON Williams v. Rhodes 1968 — the first of the *modern* screwed up ballot access cases.
Plus of course —
Every election is NEW and has ZERO to do with any prior election.
Way too difficult for the armies of MORON ballot access lawyers to understand ??? Duh.
