On March 18, Delaware filed this brief in U.S. District Court in Adams v Carney, 1:20cv-1680. This is the case over Delaware’s law that only registered members of parties with at least 5% of the registration may be appointed to any of the important state courts. The lower courts already struck this law down, but then the U.S. Supreme Court ruled early this year that the plaintiff lacked standing because he never actually applied for a judicial position. After that happened, he did apply for a judicial position, and filed an entirely new case.
