On April 15, the 9th circuit will hear Nader v Brewer, 06-16251. The issues are whether someone from outside Arizona should be allowed to circulate an independent presidential petition, and whether Arizona’s early June petition deadline for independent presidential candidates violates Anderson v Celebrezze. The hearing is at 9 a.m.

The judges will be Mary Schroeder (a Carter appointee), and Richard Clifton and Consuelo Callahan (Bush Jr. appointees).
