The Maine Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Nader v Democratic National Committee on September 14, at 2 p.m. The case is a tort and request for damages, filed by Ralph Nader against Democratic Party dirty tricks in the 2004 election. The Court will hear arguments over whether a trial should be permitted. Similar lawsuits filed by Nader earlier in federal court were defeated by the federal statute of limitations, but Maine has a six-year statute of limitations so that isn’t a problem for Nader in this case. Maine was one of the states in 2004 in which Democrats tried to keep Nader off the ballot, although they did not succeed in Maine. However, the lawsuit covers activity in many states.
