Idaho Republican Party Case Set for February 17 Argument

November 28th, 2008

The oral argument in Idaho Republican Party v Ysursa will be held February 17, 2009, in U.S. District Court in Boise. The issue is whether the Constitution protects the right of the Republican Party to exclude outsiders from its primary. All the briefs should be submitted by mid-December. Thanks to Steve Rankin for this news.

    This is the only pending case against a state-mandated open primary.

    There are three different motions for summary judgment.

    Nominations for PUBLIC offices by PUBLIC electors / voters is PUBLIC business — NOT some sort of secret behind closed doors private conspiracy for the benefit of the party hack leaders and some faction of ALL electors / voters.
