Oral Arguments are complete, but it looks as though it's a foregone conclusion. Kobach and the people of Kansas are going to lose and the Sebelius Supreme Court will obligingly remove Chad Taylor's name from the ballot.

If they do the it'll probably because of this admission on the part of the Secretary of State's attorney: "The Justices seemed to get Kobach’s lawyer to admit that substantial compliance may sometimes be enough. With that concession, there is a relatively easy path to finding the letter substantially complied."

It really doesn't matter. Everyone in the state knows Taylor has resigned; he's down to 6% in the latest polls and dropping fast. In fact it might be less advantageous to the Dems if the court orders his name removed AND force the Dems to name a replacement. That would be more confusing.

How can they force the Dems to put someone else on the ballot? Senator Sessions is running unopposed in AL.
