Comments: The Missouri Missouri Supreme Court grabbed back jurisdiction that they illegally gave to the Missouri Court of Appeals in order to do the same thing the Missouri Court of Appeals did -- quickly order a mere denial of petition for mandamus. Never to be addressed at the state court level is an opinion as to whether Missouri election law is Constitutional or not, which would require a thorough written opinion. If this judicial review of the 'election laws' effectively disqualifying candidates had been properly and legally done and the election laws ruled unconstitutional, the mandamus would have had to follow by default. There would be no valid legal reason to keep me off the ballot. So the Missouri Supreme Court took the easy way out by quickly denying mandamus and being silent as to the judicial review.

This misconduct under color of law goes to show that neither the Missouri Supreme Court nor the Missouri court system can be trusted to independently judge the validity of laws, nor anything which threatens the Missouri government's interests at all. The election system is Missouri is fraudulent in that candidates are kept off the ballot under color of 'election law' -- a far more serious thing than a mere miscounting of votes, because there is no need to miscount votes is there is no choice allowed the voters.

I will follow this judicial sliming with a Federal lawsuit. It is a tad late for a writ of mandamus. It will be a case of the constitutionality of the Missouri election laws, and perhaps a special election shall be ordered.

By the way, the Missouri Ballot in this area has a question regarding these judges:
Shall Judge RONNIE L. WHITE of the Missouri Supreme Court be retained in office? [Y N]
Shall Judge JOHN C. CROW of the Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District be retained in office? [Y N]
If you vote yes, you are voting to retain these crooks on the bench for another 12 years. If you vote no, they are off the bench and their legal careers at an end.
I will vote NO on retaining these lying criminals on the bench.
