Yesterday, the Ninth Circuit decided People Not Politicians Oregon v. Clarno<\/em><\/a>. The opinion gave Oregon organizers more time to collect signatures for a ballot initiative. Rick Hasen<\/a> flagged a footnote from Judge Callahan’s dissent. She wrote:<\/p>\n I again dissent from the Court’s denial of a motion to stay a preliminary injunction altering state election laws on the eve of an election.FN1<\/p>\n FN1: I similarly dissented from the denial of a stay motion in Reclaim Idaho v. Little<\/em>, 20-35584. See Reclaim Idaho v. Little<\/em>, 20-35584, CM\/ECF Docket Entry No. 14 (July 9, 2020). Local press incorrectly reported that the Court’s denial in that case was unanimous. See <\/em>Nathan Brown, Reclaim Idaho to resume signature gathering on school funding initiative<\/em>, POST <\/span>REGISTER <\/span>(July 9, 2020), https:\/\/www.postregister.com\/news\/education\/reclaim-idaho-to-resume-signature-gathering-on-school-funding-initiative\/article_b548b864-aaf5-5702-a5ea-f6769621fd17.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Huh? I can’t recall any judicial opinion in which a judge corrects a press report about her decision. (Please email me if you are aware of any). Why would a judge publicly criticize a reporter? Who cares if the reporter got it wrong. I do know that some judges contact reporters, off the record, to talk about press coverage. Sometimes they contact me to complain. But Judge Callahan’s public rebuke was a new one for me.<\/p>\n Nathan Brown wrote the cited article<\/a> for the Post Register, an Idaho newspaper. He wrote:<\/p>\n Advocates for a ballot initiative to boost education funding in Idaho by raising income taxes on corporations and the rich plan to start gathering signatures again early next week.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, three judges<\/strong> for the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the state of Idaho’s motion for an emergency stay that would have prevented Reclaim Idaho from starting to gather signatures online.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n To his credit, Brown actually included a link to the PDF of the opinion. Bless him. More reporters need to include links to primary sources.<\/p>\n f you click that link<\/a>, you will find a two-page PDF. That document includes a per curiam order that does not reference a dissent. Based on the documents he had, he reported that the panel was unanimous.<\/p>\n The document Brown posted is labelled DktEntry 14-1.<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> JOSH BLACKMAN<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
