California Says it May Ask U.S. Supreme Court to Reverse Ninth Circuit on Whether Libertarians have standing to Challenge Residency Requirement for Petitioners

On May 20, U.S. District Court Judge Philip Gutierrez held a status conference in Libertarian Party of Los Angeles County v Bowen, central district, 2:10cv-2488. This is the case in which the party challenges California laws that won’t let circulators work outside their home district, if they are petitioning to place a candidate for district office on the ballot.

The attorney for the state told Judge Gutierrez that the state is considering asking the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that the party doesn’t have standing to challenge the California law. The state will decide in June whether to do that. Therefore, the proceedings in the U.S. District Court, on the actual issue itself, will be put aside for a few months.

  1. How can the party not have standing? The law clearly affects them. For a government that goes all over the world starting war for “democracy” they sure don’t believe in it here.
