Many of us hope that after Trump the country will return to some sort of sanity. The problem is that some things will be so broken by the end of his term that they may never be fixed. One of those areas of irreparable harm could well be the courts.
Let’s say there was an effort to put an initiative on the ballot in the state of Missouri to make abortion legal. Let’s say I believed this was a good cause. May I travel to Missouri and circulate the petition?
Of course I may. There have been at least 18 court cases that affirmed the right to use out-of-state campaign workers along with the right of campaigns to pay out-of-state signature gatherers. Nonetheless, on September 9 the 11th Circuit Court ruled that Florida COULD ban out-of-state circulators.
The vote was 2-1. The two judges talked about “fraud,” but there were no examples of fraud.
The two judges were appointed by Trump. The dissenter was appointed by Biden. Are those two judges like Trump’s other appointees–Homan, Noem, RFK Jr., Hegseth, Bondi, Patel? No doubt. And unlike those other clowns, judges are appointed for life.
