On February 3, U.S. District Court Judge Charles Lovell refused to reconsider his earlier ruling in Pierce v Jacobsen, 6:18cv-63. This is the case over Montana’s ban on out-of-state circulators for initiatives. See the eight-page order here. The order begins by again saying that in 2006, some Montana out-of-state circulators were convicted of petitioning fraud. This incident, which was already discussed at great length in the original opinion, has nothing to do with the points raised in the request for rehearing. Presumably the plaintiffs will now ask the Ninth Circuit to reverse the decision. The Ninth Circuit already struck down bans on out-of-state circulators in 2008 in an Arizona case, Nader v Brewer.
Richard, Why are you blocking all of my Montana posts?
Richard doesn’t like Frank Zappa.
I just have one thing to say… DENTAL FLOSS !!!!
The ban would seem to violate the First Amendment.
Jeff, I have not blocked any of your comments. They just didn’t arrive. They aren’t hung up; they just aren’t here.
2 fake JB posts —
part of the vast conspiracy to attack all websites not approving left/right statism ???
ie specific attack on BAN posting system ??? — no posts, added fake posts, removed posts ???
Domestic / Foreign govt / private felons doing it ???
What makes you think those are fake? You must not like Frank Zappa either.
Demo Rep is the foreign agent?
He sure sounds like one.
Richard, every time I try to include the Frank Zappa lyrics in my post, it doesn’t show up. But, if I remove just the lyrics, it posts. This is an ANTI ZAPPA site. Chunga will get revenge on you.
Also, eat yellow snow and DON’T watch where the huskies go.
Seriously though, anybody here know how to register an out of state car in Montana?… you know, for the tax evasion.
