On December 14, the Eighth Circuit heard Moore v Martin, 15-3558. This is the case over the constitutionality of the non-presidential independent candidate petition deadline in Arkansas, which is in early March. The three judges are Roger Wollman, Lavenski Smith, and Duane Benton. The lower court had upheld the deadline. From the tenor of the argument and the comments and questions of each of the judges, it seems likely that the panel will reverse the lower court and invalidate the deadline.
Arkansas had its April deadline declared unconstitutional in 1974, and again in 1976. An even earlier deadline passed in 1987, January, was held unconstitutional in 1988. The Arkansas legislature has consistently lost on this issue, but invariably the legislature fixes the law, and then forgets why it did that, and reverts to an early deadline. The oral argument partly focused on the historical record.
How about try to get the USA District Attorney in AR to put ALL of the AR legislative, executive and judicial MORONS in jail for about 100 years each —
for violating USA constitutional RIGHTS ???
See ALL of the MORONS in the FL regime in 2000 in Bush v. Gore.
Demo Rep if we locked up people for being stupid a majority of the public would be in jail, including you.
Quite honored to get such respect from one more ANTI-Democracy MORON BULLY on this list.
For other Democracy folks — do not put up with the ANTI-Democracy MORON BULLYs and their STONE AGE so-called thinking for a second — the gerrymander HACKS, pushy tyrant executive officers, rotted judges, media morons, etc.
