On May 5, a Superior Court Judge in Connecticut ruled that Susan Bysiewicz does meet the statutory requirement for candidates for Attorney General. The statute requires candidates for Attorney General to have actively practiced law during the last ten years. Bysiewicz is the current Secretary of State, but she is not running for re-election. Instead she is running for Attorney General. She is an attorney. The decision is 90 pages and is here. Thanks to John Anthony La Pietra for this news.

And thank *you*, Richard, for the link to that very thorough opinion! I’m sure the judge *hopes* he’s closed off the issue. I’m not going to bet on whether or not any parties will try to take the case further, though. It seems to me that some parties are willing to do just about anything to win an election — and they have enough money that one more approach like this, even if it’s not very likely to win, is worth the risk.
