In reality it is not the job of the clerk to make these kinds of decisions. This is stuff the Governor and the SOS and AG should be standing up and doing. Backed up by their state legislature. The 10th Amendment.
That is exactly right. The petitions for redress of grievances should be directed towards Kentucky Attorney General. He is the one responsible to act to protect the 9th Amendment rights of the state itself.
If he refuses to act, then the next step is to petition the legislature to impeach him; and if that also fails, then the next available measure is to throw him out of office (the office is up for election this November).
