Even though the California Secretary of State has said he will appeal the order of the U.S. District Court, enjoining the tax returns-ballot law, he still hasn’t filed a notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit. This is surprising, because time is urgent. The presidential primary ballot printing will begin later this year.
Plaintiffs ready to file bypass 9 Cir papers to go direct to SCOTUS ???
— also due to deadline dates.
How many square feet / yards / acres / miles for the CA Prez primary ballot — due to LOTS of ego freaks ???
Again, if States cannot ask for tax returns, then why can they ask for thousands of petition signatures?
Because the election administrators need ballot access requirements to keep ballots from being too crowded. Witness the California special gubernatorial election of 2013, when 135 candidates were on the ballot. But tax returns have nothing to do with the ability of election officials to handle the election.
Circa 1978 *modicum of support* for ballot access in SCOTUS op. ???
SCOTUS hacks LOVE to create new words and phrases — to brainwash the public — and esp the DC morons – in govt and media.

1986 — look for / find mos
SCOTUS Hacks still can not detect EQUAL in 14-1 — ie EQUAL MOS for ALL individual candidates for each office.
Mere 51 years and counting.
