Jill Stein was ordered off the ballot by the Nevada Supreme Court last week. Jay Alan Sekulow, a longtime conservative lawyer, is now representing the Nevada Green Party.
I was familiar with Sekulow for his repeat performances at SCOTUS as part of his calling to be a Christian conservative, legal corps division. I'm less enthused about his evangelism in support of Trump.
His support for third party rights here is about as selective as the North Carolina Supreme Court's recent ruling in favor of Trump ... I mean Robert Kennedy Jr.
I'd like to know if Democrats will appeal the NCSC decision to SCOTUS as being both contrary to state law and far too close to the statutory date requiring the mailing of ballots (today!) in accordance with prior SCOTUS rulings and guidance on such matters.
The conservatives on the Court are comfortable with making partisan rulings. It's also basically almost already too late to change the situation since the ballots have to go out. I'm fine with the "on the ballot" sentiment.
One wonders how much Jill Stein is being paid by conservative interests to file her evergreen spoiler run.
Georgia's Raffensperger overrode a state court to put two candidates on the ballot, solely to take votes from Harris. Thankfully, the state Supreme Court said no way. Bull Stein is on the ballot...happily throwing the vote to Trump.
Well, if a state misleading you about what you need to do to get on the ballot violates due process and equal protection, then the abortion referendum should be back on the ballot in Arkansas. Crickets.
This clearly illustrates the wisdom behind the advice "never call the IRS help line." If you screw up, you have a problem. If they screw up, you have a problem. Exactly the same applies here: We are on our own.
Mr. Geidner: I appreciate your posts very much. You have a lot to contribute to our understanding of law in this country, on its many different levels. And far be it from me to interfere with your ability to make a living.
I do want to communicate, that for those of us living on a fixed income (social security)(and not a lot of it since I worked as a social worker), it is not possible to contribute. Thus I am to be closed off from your posts so that people who are able to contribute feel like they are getting their money's worth. Sigh.
This feels like a bit of guilt by association, doesn't it? "Sure, the government can trick you into filing the wrong documents and then punish you for doing so.... but look, the lawyer's a Republican!"

I don't know if there is a federal issue but even if there was doubt the SCOTUS conservatives would step in.
There's no reason to surrender without trying.
SCOTUS is very much on the ballot for millions of voters and the MAGA majority damn well knows it.
Do they want to make another highly partisan decision right before the election?

The Green party is a joke.
Russian involvement? Idk, just feel like I've heard that re: Stein.
No surprise that Sekulow is another I have never observed having a human emotion.

Anyone who still votes for the Green Party after 2000 and 2016 prefers a Republican president.

Just sayin'
Just my opinion, but the state
of Nevada didn't really
deceive the Green party.
Note they provided them with
the state statutes for filing
and the 2024 state form. 3
positives over 1 stupid
blunder does not a SCOTUS
ruling justify, but here we are
at 6 to 3/SCOTUS.
Jay Sucks-u-Low is a crap lawyer. He won’t succeed
