The US Supreme Court has been asked to weigh in on a Colorado State Supreme Court ruling. The Colorado Court’s 4-3 decision prevents Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s upcoming primary ballot based on a very unjudicial assumption.

The Judicial System’s “Policy” on Mental Health and Fitness for Duty matters within the Profession
I have had discussions with the Attorney Discipline Office (ADO) about Nashua’s Corporation Counsel and his fitness for duty. I tried to address this matter confidentially first with an Alderman, then the Board of Alderman, and the Mayor. The topic was too hot to touch. I then turned to the ADO.
I Think The Vermont State Constitution Prohibits All Non-Citizen Voting …
The Vermont State Supreme Court has just ruled that non-citizens may vote in the state’s municipal elections because the provision in the State Constitution that defines eligible Vermont voters does not apply to municipalities.
Breaking: Gordon MacDonald Confirmed to NH State Supreme Court
New Hampshire’s 5-member Executive Council, after watching almost 8 hours of interrogation by folks like you and me – and the usual suspects – has confirmed AG Gordon MacDonald to the New Hampshire State Supreme Court.
Lawless New Hampshire AG Nominated to State’s Highest Court
Gov. Sununu nominated business persecutor and law-bender Gordon MacDonald, the state’s attorney general, to the N.H. Supreme Court. A public hearing concerning his nomination to the chief justice position is coming before the Executive Council on Jan. 21.
Will the NH High Court Allow Fully Remote Legislative Sessions or Do They Violate the Constitution?
If you missed it, in late September, Democrat leadership advanced a motion, rammed through might be a better turn of phrase, to request an opinion of the State’s High Court. Mother May I go to a full remote session without violating Part II, Article 20 of the NH Constitution (achieving a quorum). Problem? Plenty of them.
Could a NH Court Harpoon Facebook’s Claims to Immunity Under the Communications Decency Act?
Social Media giants like Facebook enjoy immunity from the content posted on their pages because they claim they are not the publisher, just a platform. Section 230 (C) of the Communications Decency Act enshrines this loophole, but the NH Supreme Court may have put a tiny chink in their armor.
Was the Claremont Lynching Story a Fake Hate Crime?
It was advertised as an attempted lynching. Stories accompanied by pictures of a bi-racial boy’s neck with rope burns and labeled as a hate crime. But the New Hampshire State Supreme Court is now hinting that it was a false narrative.
Support the State Supreme Court Challenge to the NH House Firearms Ban
It seems like just yesterday (it was the day before). We reported on the court tossing a complaint. The question was, does a temporary majority in the NH House have a right to ignore the State Constitution. At least one judge claims they do.
Democrats are Still Colluding With Out-of-State Voters to Steal NH Elections
The State Supreme Court has ruled (in its analysis of HB1264, which the governor then signed yesterday) that out-of-state college students do not have more rights than actual citizens of New Hampshire. They are not entitled to a special exclusion from the responsibilities actual residents accept including registering vehicles in the Granite State or obtaining a New Hampshire driver’s license. And asking these things of them is not a poll tax.
This is as it should be but New Hampshire Democrats have been stealing elections from Granite Staters for years and in spite of the court’s opinion they are ramping up to try and rob you of at least one more.
New Hampshire State Supreme Court: HB1264 is Constitutional, And Then Some…
I see two of the New Hampshire State Supreme Court have almost put an end to our policy of letting out-of-state, unqualified voters determine our Federal elections.
The two others, Gary Hicks and Jimmy Bassett, should be removed from office for lack of enough common sense to be on any court.
The majority found that out-of-state “voters” are not just prohibited from serving on a jury, registering a car or dog, or getting a hunting/fishing license. They can’t use New Hampshire as a fun place to vote either. This decision took twenty years.
NH House Redistricting Plan Stands
The State Supreme Court does not believe the redistricting plan passed by the State legislature violates the State Constitution.
PER CURIAM. These consolidated cases are before us on interlocutory transfer without ruling from the Superior Court (Brown, J.). See Sup. Ct. R. 9. The petitioners, New Hampshire voters and the towns and municipalities in which some of them live, seek a declaration that Laws 2012, chapter 9, the law redistricting the New Hampshire House of Representatives (the Plan), violates the State Constitution. We conclude that such a declaration is unwarranted.
Emphasis Mine.
I confess that I am not familiar with all the intricacies of the debate, but whenever the State Supreme Court opts out of meddling with something a majority of the elected legislature has passed–and then passed again after the Democrat Governor vetoed it–it is usually a good day.
But it gets better.
Today’s historic vote on CACR-12: A message for wavering Republicans….
I haa an animated discussion early today with several members of the State House of Representatives. They will be called upon to vote for or against the awful CACR-12 proposed state constitutional amendment. CACR-12 will essentially do the bidding of the five policy activists in black robes on the state supreme court. But they are … Read more
CACR-12 must be DEFEATED. It is poison.
CACR-12 is the much-touted “educational amendment” that is said to aggresively deal with the egregious and outrageous “Claremont decisions” by the New Hampshire state Supreme Court. It does nothing of the sort. Here’s why:
Landmark Ruling?
It is never a good idea to expect any kind of consistency in the application of rulings by your State Supreme Court but in this case they did and I have to wonder what the broader applications could be?
The New Hampshire State Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit in which a golfer sued a golf course because he got hit in the eye by his own shot (off a yard marker).
Dan Tuohy, correspondent for the Union Leader reports today that Paul F. Sanchez does not have a case against Candia Woods Golf Course, which is mundane until you read the language used by the court to explain its dismissal.
Bird Ruffles Feathers–Gets three to six
The problem seems to be that Bird had confronted a woman who had accidentally wandered onto his property in search of directions, and he was in no mood for small talk. He brandished his sidearm when she did not leave at his request for which he was charged and convicted of criminal threatening.
Just Borrow Them From Washington DC
The rhetorical skirmishes over the replacement of retiring Supreme Court Justice John Broderick have produced some interesting contrasts. We are told by those wishing for prompt action that failing to appoint judges could have an adverse affect on the peoples rights which I have to admit makes sense, except when you consider that there are four superior court and nine district court vacancies (as reported in the Union Leader) languishing somewhere in the appointment/replacement process.
