On May 10, the 8th circuit will hear oral arguments in Green Party of Arkansas v Martin, 10-3106. This is the ACLU lawsuit against the Arkansas election law that removes parties from the ballot each time they fail to poll at least 3% for the office at the top of the ticket (president or governor, depending on which year it is). The hearing will be at 9 a.m. in Kansas City before Judges Michael Melloy, Duane Benton, and James Gritzner, all of whom are Bush Jr. appointees. Judges Melloy and Gritzner are from Iowa, and Judge Benton is from Missouri.
Every election is NEW and has ZERO to do with ANY prior stuff – except perhaps the number of actual voters in the election area involved at the prior election.
Separate is NOT equal.
