Although the complete pleading isn't posted, it appears she has a facially sound case. I know people might not like her, but she is being a constitutionalist. You have to give her credit for that!
I'm not a lawyer, but I just read both Halverson's pleading and the constitutional articles regarding the Judiciary. The constitution clearly allows the Legislature to amend the districts and to set the terms and the seats of Supreme Court Justices and District Court Judges. Regarding the Supreme Court Justices, if the Legislature increases the number of seats on the Supreme Court, the constitution specifically requires the Legislature to stagger the terms of the newly-created seats. Although this specific language does not appear in the articles for district court judges, there is a blanket statement that the terms are set by law. Therefore, I think Elizabeth Halverson's pleading is nothing more than a frivolous pleading and I hope the Supreme Court slaps her accordingly.
Halverson should be allowed on the ballot. So that the people who have heard her represent herself can show her the door. Maybe she can assist Tom Collins in District B!
