“…Kobach reiterated his position…”
If that’s all this is, Kobach is entitled to his opinion, thank you, now let’s move on.
If this is about a State bureaucrat forcing organizations to field candidates they don’t want to… then, yes, let’s talk Big Government.
Is it wrong that I am laughing?
tell me again how much Kansas taxpayer $$$ he wasted on this folly
If he moves the ballot mailing date any further, he’s playing a dangerous game with absentee and overseas ballots not being available in time for the election. Which he would no doubt spin as a reason to keep Roberts in office indefinitely.
I pray Kris Kobach will soon go the way of the dodo bird…or at least, goes the way of this guy:
That guy was a total dick!
I hear there’s still openings at Liberty University for the 2014-15 school year for assholes like Kobach. He can join Kline there as an adjunct.
Let’s remember, Kobach is the guy who came up with the “self-deportation” idea that Mittens adopted during his campaign, and helped come up with AZ’s SB 1070 law, the “papers please law”…which was only partially struck down by SCOTUS. He did similar work on an Alabama anti-immigrant bill, which is even worse than the one in Arizona.
O-U-C-H !!! MY,MY.How you like them apples ?
Always happy to see Kobach taken down a notch and I guess the Dems will play his own little game by trying to run out the clock by making him take them to court to re-nominate. So maybe this will end up being two notches.
Having said that, this guy Ormand creeps me out. He will caucus with either party? Sounds like a very unprincipled candidate. Of course, when the alternative is Pat Roberts, I guess everything’s relative.
Not California!!
genius
Taylor was unopposed, so votes for him actually did not matter at all. That’s the beauty of applying Roberts’ logic to the KSC decision. He is right!
They really couldn’t take up that question for two reasons:
a) the question wasn’t put before them in proper form, and
b) they aren’t an “advisory” court.
For Kobach to get his way, the Kansas D party would have to put up a replacement – which they won’t do. Kobach could threaten them with some sort of sanction – but that would turn an ‘advisory’ question into an actual one, putting the matter right back before the same court. So, he’ll launch his own lawsuit before a court of his choosing in hopes of getting this court that’s already ruled against him on a related ground, which he’ll seek to justify by arguing that the court that’s already ruled is now somehow ‘biased’ against him, and use that to run down the clock on whatever ballot he directs be printed.
It appears the GOPee teabaggers are in need of a second colonoscopy. The one they took in 2012 must have missed something.
Yeah that’s how I feel as well. Wishy washy, will go with whatever side is majority. Doesn’t sound like he has convictions. Sanders caucuses with the Democrats because his principals lines up closer to that party. I can’t imagine switching off what I believe in just because another side has more party clout.
I just don’t trust Orman’s line of thinking in this.
Something mysteriously wonderful about Kansas when you consider it’s the root of anthropologist / globalist, Stanley Ann Durham!..I still get a dreary feeling, driving through that state - boring landscape
The greatest idea in history was posted on this blog by RufTFirefly … nominate Pat Roberts as the Dem candidate. Find someone named Pat Roberts that wants to run for Senator somewhere in the country. If I understand correctly you don’t have to live in a state to run for Senate (at least not for very long). One of two things would happen … Kobach would have screwed himself and be forced to put the person on the ballot or he would back down immediately and look like a buffoon. Sounds like a win-win to me!
whoopie!!! we’ve turned a senate seat blue!!! next up, turning the kansas governor seat blue
laugh away
Now how many Democrats are on the Kansas Supreme Court?
The Brownbacklash…
Anyone who thinks there’s a model to gauge this election by is naive. There’s nothing normal abut this mid-term.
Who among us here in Kansas could have imagined just a few months ago that we would all be cheering a court decision that forced Kobach to remove the only Democrat from the Kansas ballot?
Nothing is predictable in this election.
