On September 16, the Kansas Supreme Court will hear the case over whether the Democratic Party may withdraw its nominee for U.S. Senate, Chad Taylor. The oral argument starts at 9 a.m. Kansas (central) time. Anyone may hear the oral argument online at kscourts.org/kansas-courts/supreme-court/arguments.asp.

This is an important case for those who believe in the rights of political parties to make their own decisions about nominees. The Kansas Democratic Party doesn’t wish to have its own nominee for U.S. Senate because it is supporting independent candidate Greg Orman.
