For the record, all nine Alabama Supreme Court Justices are Republicans who must stand for election by the voters every six years (staggered terms).

And what of it? I've seen as much or more irrationality on this issue from Republicans as I have from Democrats. Most of the people with whom I argue on this issue are Republicans.

Being a Republican does not preclude someone from misunderstanding some basic fundamental ideas. We see it all the time.

What is it that you think that the judges of the Alabama Supreme Court misunderstand?
The primary concurring opinion written by Judge Bolin is a careful and detailed analysis of Alabama election law and the statutory duties of the Secretary of State.
The bottom line is that if a national party convention nominates a candidate, the Secretary of State “SHALL” certify that candidate for the Alabama ballot. There is no discretion under the law.
