FOLO – Judge Tomie Green takes the Ronnie Musgrove ballot case under advisement

Judge Green takes the ballot case under advisement

Judge Green denied the governor’s motion to dismiss based on jurisdiction, and took the request for a preliminary injunction under advisement. She’s going to write on this. In response to the argument that the court had no jurisdiction, Judge Green said “Counsel, if you’re arguing that the courts cannot issue a mandamus order against the governor, who can?” After some jumping around, the lawyer for the governor admitted his argument was that no one could mandamus the governor for violating the law. When she asked who could mandamus the governor, she mentioned a case called Green v. Fordice.
