On April 4, the 7th circuit heard Stone v Neal, 11-1085, a case that challenges the requirement that all candidates for Chicago citywide offices need 12,500 signatures to get on the ballot. The elections are non-partisan.
During the hearing, the attorney for the state government acknowledged that voters may only sign petitions for one candidate in any race. When this case had been in the U.S. District Court, he had asserted that voters could sign for as many different candidates as they wished.
It seems likely that the 7th circuit will send the case back to the U.S. District Court, because the 7th circuit seemed to feel that the U.S. District Court Judge had never made a ruling on whether the law is unconstitutional or not, but had merely denied injunctive relief. The three 7th circuit judges were Michael Kanne, Ilana Rovner, and Diane Sykes.
If a party asks/demands that a MORON Judge rule that some law is UN-constitutional, then what does it take in this New Age of MORON judges to act ???
i.e. are New Age Judges just as STUPID as the party hacks in the gerrymander Congress or what ???
