A three-judge panel in Topeka ruled Wednesday that Kansas Democrats need not nominate a candidate for the 2014 Senate race.
The ruling is expected to help independent Senate candidate Greg Orman’s campaign against incumbent Republican Sen. Pat Roberts.
Chad Taylor, the Democrat nominated for the seat in August, dropped from the race Sept. 3. The Kansas Supreme Court later ruled the withdrawal followed state rules. …

More shenanigans by the commie ‘RATS and their “judges”.
Oh but wouldn’t those Democrat voters be disenfranchised if they had no one to vote for? (see judge Surrick in Berg v. Obama)
Back a few years in New Jersey, a democrat cadre of judges insisted that the citizens deserved an option to vote for a democrat after the torch dropped out of the race. Now, a new group of democrat judges reject the right of democrats to vote for a member of their party. What a collection of corrupt individuals.
We don’ need no steenkin’ laws!
It is amazing how Democrats always win in the Courts.
1. The Plaintiff didn’t show up in Court. That was the deathknell.
2. Any other cases in any other States are irrelevant. This is a State case. I don’t care what happened elsewhere it means nothing here.
3. I read the statute and it’s pretty clear that the Dims are NOT required to run anyone. It says who is to appoint someone but not that they have to appoint someone.
This was a pretty easy case. It’s all well and good to run screaming “Dim judges! Laws don’t apply! etc etc etc”. But that doesn’t get us anywhere. You have to analyze facts and not just run around screaming. If you don’t, you don’t know who caused your problem. It wasn’t the Dims here. Not one bit. It was the GOP and it’s raging incompetence. The AG was absolutely brain dead on this one. And the Plaintiff not showing? (a supposed Dim) ... I mean come on.
No wonder the GOPe ignores us. They could drop an anvil on our car, we could see them do it, and we would blame the Dims.
I wouldn’t take us seriously either.
Yeah, but the judges in the Torch case were clearly crack-addled corrupt machine politic whores. They had to say it was OK to break the election rules to get Torch's replacement on the ballot. Total bullshit ruling.
But they DO have a nominee... he’s just running as an “Independent”
Actually this is partially a case of not reading the article - they are confusing this with the original case wherein the court tossed out the SOS’s finding that the Democrat had not properly withdrawn and thus his name would remain on the ballot as the nominee.
State cases don’t apply to each other but it is still interesting to compare the actions of the Democrats and the outcome in court to the two similar situations - one wherein the Democrats do not want a nominee from their own party on the ballot to help them win an election, and the opposite in the other case, regardless of what the laws show. In the NJ case, the independent / minor party candidates didn’t count as being a choice to the judges, and here they do.
The judge ruled correctly. Of course they are not required to run anyone, hence my criticism of Surrick. (I know it’s a different state. Surricks idiotic ruling deserves scorn)
The GOP-e “ignores us” because they are liberals, leftwardho.
