As noted earlier, on July 30, Rocky De La Fuente filed a lawsuit in federal court in San Diego against the new laws that requires presidential candidates who want to be on a presidential primary ballot in California to reveal the last five years of income tax returns. The case was initially assigned to Judge Thomas J. Whelan. On July 31, it was re-assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey T. Miller. Both judges are Clinton appointees. Miller was once a Deputy Attorney General for the state of California.
