On September 16, the California Republican Party and its chair filed this very brief response to the amicus curiae of Law Professor Erwin Chemerinsky, in Patterson v Padilla. That is the case on whether the state constitution bars the legislature from requiring presidential primary candidates to reveal their income tax returns.

The Republican response says that the arguments in the amicus are no different than the state government’s arguments. It further says that the amicus was filed after the deadline.
