On October 31, Texas filed this brief in Bilyeu v Esparza, w.d., 1:21cv-1089. This is the lawsuit over the Texas law that requires people who seek nomination at a convention to first pay a filing fee. The state says it has an interest in treating all candidates equally, which is a comical statement given the Texas rules for independent candidates (who need extremely difficult petitions), contrasted with the fact that Democrats and Republicans can get on a primary ballot with no petition.
So, the state itself pretends it is practicing equal protection?
Equal protection is not an interest of the State; It is a restriction of the State.
It is an interest of the people, written in law. The State (the executive branch of government) is forced to follow it by the courts (we hope).
Actual State interests are things like enforcement and stability.
STATE INTEREST = STATE SOCIAL-ECONOMIC CONTROL TO PUT MORE GOVT CASH INTO POCKETS OF EXTREMIST SPECIAL INTEREST GANGS — LEFT/RIGHT VERSIONS-
DEPENDING ON WHICH GERRYMANDER GANG CONTROLS THE LAWS AND LAWS ENFORCEMENT.

WHO BENEFITED THE MOST ???
AZ asked:
“HOW MANY MILITIA MENTIONS IN STATE CONSTS IN 1775-1791 ???”
According to Chapter II, Article X of the Constitution of Massachusetts:
“The captains and subalterns of the militia, shall be elected by the written votes of the train band and alarm list of their respective companies, of twenty-one years of age and upwards: the field officers of regiments shall be elected by the written votes of the captains and subalterns of their respective regiments: the brigadiers shall be elected in like manner, by the field officers of their respective brigades: and such officers, so elected, shall be commissioned by the governor, who shall determine their rank”
There were two kinds of militia then. One of those was the whole of the people, and the other was regimented. The part of the second amendment referring to a militia was by way of explanation, and not an operative clause or in any way limiting gun ownership rights to militia. Regulated at the time meant more like trained and supplied. It would be illogical to think that the government would need a constitutional amendment to empower the national guard, a part of the government, to keep and carry weapons.
The operative clause is “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” It stands alone on its own, with or without the other part. If anything, regardless of how people read the words today, the part about militia was meant to explain that the purpose of the amendment was to safeguard against domestic tyranny.

The Secretary of State has never adopted rules implementing the underlying statute.
The Republicans and Democrats pay their fee to their party, which uses the fee to print ballots, hire election judges and other primary expenses. None of the money goes to pay for the general election. Not all R and D candidates pay a filing fee.
The party chairs may have recruited the candidates and quite possibly assisted in providing contributions. They may have a personal relationship with the candidate. In one case the Dallas GOP chair was married to a candidate. They may have acted to accept a fraudulent application. Candidates often write other checks to the party for electioneering.
All state election laws entrench the duopoly elite with a fascist shamocracy. Voters are shackled with censored ballots.
I agree with Fred. crAZy is nuts. Quisling Biden is a lot more like Hitler than Trump is. He’s even more like Quisling than like Hitler though.
“Polisci” is commie junk science.
