Thanks.

On the surface, it appears that she filed a frivolous lawsuit over being denied the ability to solicit signatures in Walmart's parking lot.

I don't shop at Walmart, but how many times have I seen Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts selling their cookies in front of grocery stores? I don't know how they go about getting permission to do this, and I don't know if Walmart has a policy against this while grocery stores allow it.

Still, I can see someone believing that if the Girl Scouts can sell cookies in a store's parking lot, why can't a candidate running for office ask people to sign their petition, too?

If Thomas hears it, it may come down to what constitutes the "public square" these days and whether big box stores must allow candidates to be allowed to set up booths in their parking lots as long as they don't block common access ways into the store.

There may be a larger issue of overall ballot access at play, given how Georgia is laying the foundation to deny President Trump access to their ballot in 2024. I don't know what the angle might be from this case to overrule a future Georgia ballot access ruling, unless it has something to do with how the Florida courts handled this case in the early stages that might be transferable to what Georgie might try to do.

I'm just brainstorming wild theories as to why Thomas might agree to hear this case. Otherwise, I'm stumped.
