Does anyone have a sense of whether the US Supremes will grant emergency certiorari in this case? Recall they turned down an appeal of the NJ Supremes.

Your thoughts, Congressman??

there is a difference in this case from NJ...NJ was a state court...9th is a Federal...the USSC had BETTER be concerned about a Federal court...frankly, they should have no jurisdiction, it's a state matter. That might be their ticket out, they can void the 9th's ruling since it is a state matter. I know the 9th is involved since FEC gets involved, but that might be seen as weak in this case.

See my comments on this thread. In 1976 I obtained one of these Emergency Orders to change the conditions (put McCarthy on the ballot as an independent candidate for President). This can be done. This will, I believe, be done.

Based on that I would think that they would slap down the 9th on the grounds that this is a State matter and doesn't have standing in the Federal Court system.

This is different - the NJ SC is a state court - the 9th Circuit is a federal court, and SCOTUS has jurisdiction.
