Judge Reinhardt Calls Electioneering on Chief Judge of Nevada Legal Pad
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit assumed jurisdiction over a Nevada elections case this week, with one Ninth Circuit judge accusing the chief judge of Nevada of deliberately trying to run out the clock till the Sept. 7 deadline for printing the ballots.
Chief Judge Robert Jones "has deliberately attempted to avoid entering any order that would allow an appeal before that date," Ninth Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote in a concurrence to the Sept. 4 order granting the state request to get before the appellate court. "His dilatory tactics appear to serve no purpose other than to seek to prevent the state from taking an appeal of his decision before it must print the ballots."
At issue is a 37-year-old law that allows Nevada voters to mark their ballot "none of these candidates." A lawsuit said to be financed by the Republican National Committee was filed in June seeking to invalidate that option,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], apparently on the theory that it could siphon off anti-Barack Obama votes from Mitt Romney in the presidential election this fall.
According to Reinhardt concurrence,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jones,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an appointee of George W. Bush,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], assigned the case to himself after the assigned judge withdrew. He then waited three weeks to set a hearing for Aug. 22,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], despite both sides request for expedited briefing, according to Reinhardt. Two days later he entered a minute order granting the injunction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but -- with the Sept. 7 deadline for printing ballots looming this week -- had not issued a "reasoned opinion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," in Reinhardt words.
The Ninth Circuit motions panel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], consisting of Reinhardt and Judges Kim McLane Wardlaw and Carlos Bea,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], stayed the order Tuesday pending appeal and published it today.
Failure to act by the Ninth Circuit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Reinhardt wrote in his concurrence,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "would allow the district court to erroneously invalidate Nevada long-standing election process and to deprive its citizens of their right to participate in presidential elections in the manner that the law prescribes" without review by the Ninth Circuit or the Supreme Court. "Such arrogance and assumption of power by one individual is not acceptable in our judicial system."

This is pretty funny for judges to make comments like,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Such arrogance and assumption of power by one individual is not acceptable in our judicial system." We have a panel of liberal judges that strikes down the majority vote of California. Time and time again, if the conservative vote wins,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they judge it as unconstitutional. Really? You are talking here about one individual who gets a Bill passed in Sacramento by a bunch of morons and the majority of California votes it down and the liberal judges puts it upon themselves to overturn a vote by the majority? What is the judicial system for when our election process is NOT respected by the liberals. Had the vote gone their way, they often say,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "You lost so STFU." THANKS,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], COURT OF APPEALS!!!
