Nader Gets D.C. Court Hearing in Case Over Pennsylvania Challengers Access to Nader Bank Funds

The District of Columbia Court of Appeals has set a hearing date for Nader v Seroty, 09-cv-906, for April 21, at 9:30 a.m. This case is over whether Ralph Nader’s bank in D.C. should turn over the money in Nader’s bank account to the people who challenged his Pennsylvania petition in 2004. The Pennsylvania state courts long ago said that Nader must pay the court costs of the proceedings that removed him from the ballot, but in order to enforce that, the D.C. courts must honor the judgment. After the Pennsylvania courts ruled, it was revealed that the people who challenged Nader’s 2004 petition had broken Pennsylvania law by using state resources, state employees, and state computers for their challenge. The D.C. hearing will be the first opportunity that Nader has had to present evidence and arguments that the earlier order should be reversed.

  1. Finally a court outside of PA will get to hear this case!
    I hope the judge sees this outrage and writes a harsh opinion questioning the impartiality of the PA court system and how the ruling/law could ever be considered lawful.

  2. I was in Penna and helped Dan Marino to sit and witness the horrible way in which this was challenge.
    I hope Ralph is given that money
    It was an horrible abuse of power from officials in PA
