This newspaper story has an update on the South Carolina Republican Party’s lawsuit to close its primary to non-members. There is no actual new news about the lawsuit, which was filed in 2010 and which won’t have a trial until August 1, 2012. A new round of briefs will have been filed by December 15, 2011.
The story also happens to mention that another lawsuit, filed by four South Carolina counties to stop the January 2012 Republican presidential primary unless the party pays all the administration costs, has been accepted by the South Carolina Supreme Court. That case will move quickly.

Each gang of robot party hacks is NOT an independent empire from another universe.
PUBLIC nominations of PUBLIC candidates for PUBLIC offices by PUBLIC electors — ALL as in top 2 primary areas, SOME as in other areas — ALL controlled by PUBLIC laws.
— i.e. one more mess to be cleaned up by SCOTUS IF it gets some brains.
