The Fourth Circuit will hear Johnston v Lamone, 19-1783, on Thursday, January 9, 2020. This is the case on whether it is constitutional for Maryland to force the Libertarian Party to submit 10,000 signatures in order to get back on the ballot, even though the party has approximately 22,000 registered members. The party argues that the petition is meaningless because it is obvious that there are at least 10,000 voters who want the party on the ballot; otherwise they wouldn’t remain registered members. The U.S. District Court had upheld the law.
ANY lawyer or judge with ANY brain cells capable of detecting EQUAL in 14-1 Amdt ???
Nonstop failures since 1968 Williams v Rhodes — by armies of TOTAL MORONS.
TOTAL R-O-T in Law skoools esp. about BASIC stuff.
So Demo Rep… is there no hope?
There is a way to qualify for the ballot in Maryland through voter registrations, but it requires a lot more than 22,000. I think the number is at least double that.
CL
Very slight hope in the SCOTUS CJ Roberts so-called brain ???
— esp about what happened in 1854-1861 — esp about 1857 Dred Scott v Sanford in SCOTUS.

Minority rule 2018 gerrymander Dems in USA H Reps just impeached the 2016 minority rule gerrymander Prez Trump.
TOTAL brain dead ignorance of minority rule gerrymander math in the USA by TV talking heads — due in major part to SCOTUS gerrymander cases since 1964.
TOTAL chaos if *just enough* folks [esp foreign folks] demand $$$ CASH in loans to USA bankrupt regime — circa $$$ 24 TRILLION total — $$$ billions being recycled each week — in the now USA banana *republic*.

OVER-ruled in 14-1 Amdt first sentence.
“the party argues that the petition is meaningless because it is obvious that there are at least 10,000 voters who want the party on the ballot; otherwise they wouldn’t remain registered members.”
I would agree with what the political party is arguring here. If the goal of ballot access is to demonostrate a modicum of support, then the party has demonstrated it.
