A conservative organization has announced its plan to stop Barack Obama-backed \u201ccronies\u201d from snatching control of state Supreme Courts.<\/p>\n

The Republican State Leadership Committee PAC wants to assist conservative judges in six states this fall and is willing to spend a lot of money to do so.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The plan is essential as Obama\u2019s Attorney General, Eric Holder, has been using state high courts to reshape congressional districts in mainly red states to help elect more Democrats.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith state elections heating up across the country, the RSLC\u2019s Judicial Fairness Initiative (JFI) today released its target races in 2024. The JFI\u2019s planned seven-figure investment will ensure that conservative judges continue to have a voice on the courts and prevent liberals from using majorities to legislate their radical agendas from the bench, including gerrymandering maps for state legislature and U.S. Congress in their favor,\u201d it said<\/a> in a press release.<\/p>\n

The group will support conservative candidates in the states of Arizona, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that redistricting is no longer a ten-year battle; it is a yearly fight. That is why we must elect more constitutional conservatives in races across the country this year to prevent liberals backed by millions in dark money from overturning conservative-led benches,\u201d RSLC President Dee Duncan said. \u201cJFI remains committed to electing conservative judges who will fight to keep justice blind and prevent Eric Holder and Barack Obama\u2019s handpicked cronies from tipping the balance of power in these critical battleground judicial states in 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n

State Supreme Courts have been critical, particularly in states like Wisconsin, where decisions being made could affect the 2024 election and beyond.<\/p>\n

In a 4 \u2013 3 decision in June, the court ruled to allow ballot drop boxes in the 2024 election using what some might call legal gymnastics. Elections have consequences, and when the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down the use of ballot boxes after the 2020 election, it leaned conservative at the time.<\/p>\n

But after Democrat operatives poured funding into the election of a liberal justice, the court now leans liberal, and the decision has changed.<\/p>\n

Justice Ann Walsh Bradley agreed that the state Constitution does not explicitly allow drop boxes, but it does allow voters to leave their ballots with the County Clerk, and therefore, the County Clerk may choose to use drop boxes, Just The News reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy mandating that an absentee ballot be returned not to the \u2018municipal clerk\u2019s office,\u2019 but \u2018to the municipal clerk,\u2019 the Legislature disclaimed the idea that the ballot must be delivered to a specific location and instead embraced delivery of an absentee ballot to a person,\u201d Justice Bradley, who penned the decision, said. \u201cGiven this, the question then becomes whether delivery to a drop box constitutes delivery \u2018to the municipal clerk.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA drop box is set up, maintained, secured, and emptied by the municipal clerk. This is the case even if the drop box is in a location other than the municipal clerk\u2019s office. As analyzed, the statute does not specify a location to which a ballot must be returned and requires only that the ballot be delivered to a location the municipal clerk, within his or her discretion, designates,\u201d the Justice said.<\/p>\n

Justice Rebecca Bradley\u00a0penned her dissent to the majority decision.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe majority again forsakes the rule of law in an attempt to advance its political agenda,\u201d the Justice said. \u201cThe majority began this term by tossing the legislative maps adopted by this court \u2026 for the sole purpose of facilitating \u2018the redistribution of political power in the Wisconsin Legislature.\u2019 The majority ends the term by loosening the Legislature\u2019s regulations governing the privilege of absentee voting in the hopes of tipping the scales in future elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo reach this conclusion, the majority misrepresents the court\u2019s decision in Teigen, replaces the only reasonable interpretation of the law with a highly implausible one, and tramples the doctrine of stare decisis,\u201d\u00a0she said.<\/p>\n

But the majority opinion disagrees, saying that clerks are not required to use drop boxes, only that they may.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur decision today does not force or require that any municipal clerks use drop boxes,\u201d she said. \u201cIt merely acknowledges what has always meant: that clerks may lawfully utilize secure drop boxes in an exercise of their statutorily conferred discretion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
