Utah Government Won’t Bother to File Response in U.S. Supreme Court in Republican Party Case

The Utah Republican Party is currently asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear its case over how parties nominate. The state government notified the court on November 13 that it will not bother to file a response.

The Republican Party has the support of many amici briefs from many organizations. A later blog post will list them. The U.S. Supreme Court web page has yet to be updated, so that the full list is not yet known.

The issue in the case is whether the First Amendment’s freedom of association clause protects the ability of a party to decide for itself how to nominate candidates.

If the Court is interested in the case, it will probably ask the Utah government to file a response.

  1. This could really help in NY. When a party becomes recognized they have to nominate by primary and people can petition to get on that. With the crazy electoral fusion of NY. Many of the minor parties have become puppet-parties of the DEM and GOP. Letting us keep nominating by convention and party meetings would help keep the infiltration to a minimum.

  2. ALL nominations of candidates for PUBLIC offices via PUBLIC laws

    — too difficult for MORONS to understand – Fed / State / Local ???

    The clubby gangs can endorse whoever in 1 Amdt gang meetings or via snail mail gang polls.
