Hope it’s true that he’ll drop the fee-seeking if the appeals stop. I don’t mind that. Top Two is deadly to third parties in California, but Richard Winger is too important to the third party movement and voting rights lobby to be put out of business by a lawsuit.
#1, thank you. Except for the attorneys fees matter, Field v Bowen has been completely over with since 2011, so it is a somewhat puzzling comment about the other side asking that the case not be appealed.
I think he means if you drop the other appeals and lawsuits against Prop 14/88
#3, I am not a plaintiff in any other case. The Peace & Freedom, Green, and Libertarian Parties have a pending case against the essence of Prop. 14 pending in Alameda County. And Mike Chamness has a lawsuit pending in the 9th circuit on the ballot label issue. And a Democratic Party central committee member in San Bernardino County has a lawsuit in US District Court against the essence of Prop. 14. But those lawsuits will continue to exist no matter what I do.
Perhaps Munger thinks you have the ability to make them drop their lawsuits. Or maybe he is trying to trick you into dropping the appeal.
