With the probability that the case of the candidacy for First Judicial District Attorney before the Federal District not being heard before September, there is a growing possibility that the issue of being placed on the ballot ( and thereby prove the constitutional qualification and no other) may turn moot.
The Attorney General argued that the case is already moot. The Democratic Primary is over, Campbell didn’t win, and case should be dismissed. Despite solid evidences of fraudulent signatures, and and other irregularites, Joe Campbell lost the election and under theory the Attorney General presented, integrity and ethical responsibilities fall a far second to political expedience-- the result of which is a predicted outcome; and where the State and internal “charter government” provide exclusion; and a legitimacy to a badly broken system-- up and down the Judicial process. It is disparaging upon the people. It proves no balanced character in the pursuits of justice. And like a system in auto-drive, it sustains defects as equal to all--and therefore ‘equal”. We are reminded that equally bad is not the same as equal justice. Adminstration of justice provides many challenges, and many responses to family crisis, domestic issues, traffic laws, and criminal behavior.
An answer was provided the Federal court. It maintained that the additional qualification of Chavez that “learned in the law “is substantially the same as licensed” is not only unconstitutional byut is a specious act-- violating Federal laws. The responsibility of correcting the decision fell to the Supreme, which unfortunately from this perspective, abdicated and denied decision without reason. The answer further provided that the State officials were neglecting their duty to conduct elections without fraud, irregularity, and preferences. The answer further provided that theer are possible settlement issues--but first was he absolute legal clarification of Chavez be.
The Attorney General responded that the briefs of issue was complete. The Governor’s office provided an appearance, and a response which was substantially a lsiting of legal defenses without any specifics. I called them and stated that the Governor is an indispensable party. It is his administration that is conducting the elections. It is his proclamation signed by his hand that set forth the apparatus of the future government of New Mexico. There is no reason why I or any other citizen should be foreclosed from public office by statutory schemes. They do not equate to the simple measure of one person one vote.
So we await the decision of Chief Judge Vasquez of the New Mexico Federal District.
