Un-Constitutional to ban outside-the-state participants in signature "gathering"???

That's how they do it in WI, and in NH, etc., including VOTING!

I think he's gonna invoke the "Interstate Commerce" clause....

Damn right. Let them in.

Rick Perry took point on this and Gingrich, Huntsman and Santorum came shuffling along behind.

No mistaking who the best leader is.

That requirement sounds about as constitutional as saying your whole campaign staff and even your presidential candidate have to be state residents. This isn’t a Virginia election, it’s a national election. Let it be stricken from the record.

An open political association like the current Republican Party is one of the stupidest political concoctions anyone ever came up with.

It’s like owning a big mansion on the edge of the ‘hood and putting a big sign on the front lawn that says “anyone who wants to can live here, and if you move in, you and everyone you bring with you will have a say in how the place is run.”

Just how long do you think the place is going to be livable for you and your family?

I don’t like the fact that only 2 candidates I don’t like were in a primary in a state. But I don’t like the fact that Republicans have completely abandoned the rule of law for good. Are we going to be better of when the GOP stands for NOTHING?

I think I read somewhere that in another case a court had ruled that requiring residency for petition circulators was an infringement of voting rights/ballot access. So I have been expecting the court to find in favor of adding the other candidates.
