COURTHOUSE,
Sept 4 – After
suspending his campaign in ten
states and endorsing Donald
Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
being restored to the ballot
in New York State was argued
on September 4 before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Andrew L. Carter. Inner
City Press was there, thread:
All rise!
Judge: It seems
there is no dispute Mr.
Kennedy collected enough
signature. But he is
challenging the
Constitutionality of the other
requirement, being taken off
the ballot. I'll give counsel
time to think about it
Team Kennedy
lawyer: When Ohio knocked John
Anderson off the ballot, the
Supreme Court reversed
it.
NYS lawyer:
Kennedy has already endorsed
another candidate... Voters
have an interest in accurate
information. Anyway, voters
are free to write in, on their
ballots,
"Kennedy."
Team Kennedy
rebuttal: Mr Kennedy is only
withdrawing his name in 10
states. He has a path to
victory, if there is a
contingent election. This case
is not moot.
Judge: Defense,
why do you argue it's moot if
Mr Kennedy were to say he
didn't want to win, or doesn't
expect to win?
NYS lawyer: He is
not trying to win - so no
irreparable harm Judge:
I'll be right back.
Judge
returns and says, "Obviously
I'll have to take this under
advisement. I'll get a
decision out."
