Oregon high court removes Nader from ballot


By CHARLES E. BEGGS

SALEM, Ore. -- Ralph Nader will not appear on Oregon's general election ballot, the state Supreme Court said Wednesday, overturning a lower court decision.

The high court unanimously upheld a ruling by Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, who determined that flawed petitions sheets left Nader 218 signatures short of the 15,306 needed to put him on the Nov. 2 ballot.

Marion County Judge Paul Lipscomb faulted Bradbury, a Democrat, for using unwritten rules to decide the validity of the petitions. The high court, however, said Bradbury acted within his authority.

Nader's campaign said it would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Oregon Supreme Court decision was the latest, and perhaps last, action in a long struggle by Nader to get on the ballot in the state where he drew 5 percent of the vote as the Green Party nominee in 2000.

3. GOOD!!!!

Maybe by the time other courts are through removing Nader from the ballot, or just simply refusing to put him on the ballots in the first place, FLORIDA WILL STAND OUT AS THE ONE LONE STATE WHERE RALP NADER WAS PUT IN THE BALLOT BY A STATE COURT INTENT ON IMITATING THE FELONIOUS SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES WHICH INSTALLED BOY BUSH IN THE WHITE HOUSE...and then the entire country can turn to the Florida Supremes and say, WHY DID YOU DO IT?
