Florida Democratic Voter Files Brief in Case Over Exclusion of Dean Phillips from the Florida Democratic Presidential Primary

Posted on by January 10, 2024

On January 10, Michael Steinberg, a Democratic voter in Florida, filed this brief in Steinberg v Democratic Party of Florida, n.d., 4:23cv-518.  Steinberg wants to vote for Congressman Dean Phillips in the Florida Democratic primary.  The Democratic Party of Florida only listed President Joe Biden on its primary ballot, even though the party rules say the party will list all “recognized” candidates.

Because Biden was the only listed candidate, and because Florida doesn’t permit write-ins in primaries, the state then cancelled the Democratic presidential primary.

Steinberg’s brief argues that “recognized” is vague, but by any reasonable definition, Phillips is “recognized.”  Steinberg also argues that he does have standing.

  1. Steinberg is doing the Lord’s work on resisting the arbitrary denial of ballot access in Florida on behalf of protecting voters from forced association (even within the same political party).

  3. ONE MORE RIGGED ELECTION MACHINATION

  4. U.S. v Davis, 588 US _ (24 June 2019)

    Slip op p. 4
    II
    Our doctrine prohibiting the enforcement of vague laws rests on the twin constitutional pillars of due process and separation of powers. See Dimaya, 584 U. S., at ___–___ (plurality opinion) (slip op., at 4–5); id., at ___–___
    Slip op p. 5
    (GORSUCH, J., concurring in part and concurring in judgment) (slip op., at 2–9). Vague laws contravene the “first essential of due process of law” that statutes must give people “of common intelligence” fair notice of what the law demands of them. Connally v. General Constr. Co., 269 U. S. 385, 391 (1926); see Collins v. Kentucky, 234 U. S. 634, 638 (1914). Vague laws also undermine the Constitution’s separation of powers and the democratic self-governance it aims to protect. Only the people’s elected representatives in the legislature are authorized to “make an act a crime.” United States v. Hudson, 7 Cranch 32, 34 (1812). Vague statutes threaten to hand responsibility for defining crimes to relatively unaccountable police, prosecutors, and judges, eroding the people’s ability to oversee the creation of the laws they are expected to abide. See Kolender v. Lawson, 461 U. S. 352, 357–358, and n. 7 (1983); United States v. L. Cohen Grocery Co., 255 U. S. 81, 89–91 (1921); United States v. Reese, 92 U. S. 214, 221 (1876).

    ‘Totally baseless’: Trump denounced for Nikki Haley ‘birther’ lie
    ****
    Haley was born in Bamberg, South Carolina, in 1972, [[[a US citizen at birth- sorry – NOOOOO]]]. Her father became a US citizen in 1978, her mother in 2003.
    ****
    —-
    OBVIOUSLY SHE IS N-O-T A natural born citizen.

    PLACE OF BIRTH MEANS ZERO

    FATHER NATION-STATE STATUS THE SECOND A KID IS BORN — where-ever born.

    One more chance for scouts to clean up birth mess since 1868.

  10. She’s a fraud, and her name is not Haley. Definitely a deportable , and I’m looking forward to President Trump doing exactly that.

  12. The live execution of the Biden’s for treason during Trump’s state of the union will be a great show. It will also be fun to see deportables like “Haley” and ramiswami in jumpsuits and chains frogmarched down the aisle as rowdy Republicans throw trash at them.

  17. There’s nothing illegal about suggesting that the Biden Crime Family be publicly executed for treason after conviction in a court of law, for example during President Trump’s state of the union address.

  20. Both major parties claim that they are “Saving democracy” or “Saving America.”

    Yet, the actions of both of them are destructive of the Constitution, each in their own special way.

  22. There’s no equivalent to the “saving democracy by keeping opponents off ballots” lying satanic demon rats …

    Or to rhinos (what do you get when you cross an elephant and a rhino? Hell, if I know)
