Second Circuit Summarily Upholds New York Statewide Petition for Minor Party and Independent Candidates

On October 19, the Second Circuit issued an order upholding the New York state petition requirement that was passed in 2020, the increase from 15,000 signatures to 45,000 signatures. The decision is only a few sentences long and merely says the U.S. District Court did not commit any error when it upheld the law earlier this year. Libertarian Party of New York v New York State Board of Elections, 22-44. See it here. It won’t be reported. It is signed by Judges Jon O. Newman (a Carter appointee), John M. Walker (a Bush Sr. appointee), and Eunice C. Lee (a Biden appointee). Thanks to Candace Carpenter for the news.

  1. Of course it’s a short decision, there’s no way to try to justify upholding that law without sounding like a biased tyrant.

  2. ONE more DISASTER LOSS FOR THE LP BALLOT ACCESS SO-CALLED LAWYERS.

    ON TO SCOTUS — FOR ANOTHER LOSS ???

    FOR NON-MORONS — [CONLAW MORONS ARE HOPELESS].

    1. SEPARATE IS NOT EQUAL. 1954 BROWN V BD OF ED.

    2. EACH ELECTION IS NEW.

    3. EACH OFFICE HAS ZERO TO DO WITH OTHER OFFICES.

    4. INDIVIDUALS ARE NOMINATED/ELECTED — NOT **PARTIES***.

    ‘What are they hiding?’: Group sues Biden and National Archives over JFK assassination records

    The country’s largest online source of JFK assassination records is suing President Joe Biden and the National Archives to force the federal government to release all remaining documents related to the most mysterious murder of a U.S. president nearly 60 years ago.
    The Mary Ferrell Foundation filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday one year after Biden issued a memo postponing the release of a final trove of 16,000 records assembled under the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, which Congress passed without opposition in response to Oliver Stone’s Oscar-nominated film “JFK.”

  4. Judges in this country (of both major parties) are becoming more and more like judges from authoritarian countries. They just make up law as they go, without any need for justification or consistency.
