Sixth Circuit Stays Petitioning Relief for Ohio Initiatives

On May 26, the Sixth Circuit stayed the U.S. District Court decision in Thompson v Dewine. Last week the U.S. District Court had become the first federal court to give relief to initiative groups due to the health crisis. But the Sixth Circuit stayed the decision of the U.S. District Court, and implied that the First Amendment gives no protection for the initiative process.

Here is the Sixth Circuit order in case 20-3526. The three judges are: David McKeague and Jeffrey Sutton (Bush Jr. appointees) and John B. Nalbandian (a Trump appointee).
