“Yep, that would be great, a Federal Court telling a state political party what there rules have to be.”
Perry’s case rests on a similar one, where the US Supreme Court ruled that putting too many restrictions on who can collect signatures is a violation of the US Constitution.
If the state GOP ignored the law in making rules, then Perry has a case.
What "law"? The Republican Party is not a government entity and Federal judges, no matter how smart they think they are, should have absolutely nothing to say about their internal rules. They especially should have nothing to say about a state political party.
If Newt should benefit by a Federal judge sticking his nose in this state political party business, he should call for the judges arrest.
