On April 15, the opponents of Tennessee’s new law, requiring candidates for congress to have lived in the state three years, filed an Amended Complaint in their lawsuit against the new law. The Amended Complaint notes that the provision because law when the Governor declined to veto it. Collins v State, m.d., 3:22cv-225. This lawsuit will move fast, because there is at least one candidate for Congress this year who does not meet the new requirement.
Where are the Fed indictments of the TN hacks ??? —
18 USC 241 / 242
I wonder if this will ultimately be found unconstitutional under U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, 514 U.S. 779 (1995), as an extra state-imposed qualification for office.
I wonder whether Tennessee will defend the statute.
Senator Lively could intervene to present his goofy theories to the court.
“provision because law” should read “provision becomes law”.
