2.  Gutsy Roseanne Barr interviewed Leonard Rowe about his legal case
against Hollywood titans Creative Artists Agency and William Morris in
which he discovered that certain Hollywood executives regularly used
nigger, nigga, spook, coon, spade, monkey, and other racial epithets to
describe Black people and their own Black clients!  Hat tip to Kathleen
Wells for making this interview happen and for guest hosting with Roseanne.

 Georgia Files Brief in Green, Constitution Party Ballot Access
Lawsuit<http://www.ballot-access.org/2012/06/26/georgia-files-brief-in-green-constitution-party-ballot-access-lawsuit/>
June
26th, 2012

On June 22, Georgia filed a motion to dismiss the ballot access lawsuit
filed last month by the Green Party and the Constitution Party. Although
the state’s brief is 17 pages long, not once does it mention either of the
precedents that the case relies on. The lawsuit is Green Party of Georgia v
State of Georgia and Brian Kemp, 1:12-cv-1822. The lawsuit charges that
Georgia’s ballot access law, as applied to presidential candidates,
requires too many signatures.

The parties base their case on Anderson v Celebrezze, and Bergland v
Harris. In Anderson v Celebrezze, the U.S. Supreme Court said that states
must be more lenient in presidential elections, than for other office.
Bergland v Harris is an 11th circuit decision from 1985 that repeated that
holding, and said Georgia’s requirement at that time, for president, might
be unconstitutionally difficult. At the time the requirement for president
was 2.5% of the number of registered voters. The 11th circuit remanded the
case back to the U.S. District Court, but then the legislature lowered the
petition requirement to 1% of the number of registered voters and the case
ended.

The state’s brief mentions all the ballot access precedents that upheld
Georgia’s requirements for office other than President, but nowhere
mentions either Anderson v Celebrezze or Bergland v Harris.
