Then again, gay marriage ban WILL be on ballot (and so will Nader)
http://www.wzzm13.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=30676

LANSING, Mich. (AP) _ The Michigan Court of Appeals says state voters should get to weigh in on proposed ballot initiatives related to gay marriage and gambling in November.

State elections officials are working to enact the court orders so the proposals will appear on the ballot.

One of the proposed constitutional amendments would define marriage in Michigan as a union between one man and one woman.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) _ The Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled Ralph Nader should be allowed on the state ballot as an independent candidate for president.

State election officials were working Friday to enact the court order and make sure Nader would appear on the November ballot.

Nader earlier had lost a bid to be put on the Michigan ballot as a representative of the Reform Party.

2. Once Nader went to the appeals court, it was all over.
Englers residue still occupies both the appeals court, and the state "supreme" court. We have no appeal or redress rights in Michigan.

4. Er ah, I tried that, but the right wingers were able to stack the court
with their minions, making any appeal by any Democrat a losing proposition. I thought that would have been clear.

5. What does that have to do with Engler?
State elections for appellate courts and the supreme court are held all the time.

It has nothing to do with Engler, who I think is a creep and was a bad governor, but.....

The State at large fills the seats at the bench, not the governor.
