Sioux Falls, on the other hand, wants to see the Supreme Court uphold the administrative appeals process it uses to deal with the small percentage of people who contest tickets for red light running at 10th and Minnesota and for a wide variety of city ordinance violations.
LMAO! I don’t see that happening.
“We knew it was a case for the Supreme Court. It was just a matter of who was going to file the appeal,” Eiseland said.
That ruling will be a good day for SF residents and a very bad day for the city’s attorney’s office.
The city of Sioux Falls now has 2 constitutional cases in State Supreme Court. Both are circuit court decisions where the city violated every aspect of SD Civil Procedures and 2 amendments to the US Constitution. Huether should admit his vow ‘to protect and defend the constitution’ was a lie. The pledge of allegiance at city council meetings is heresy until the city returns to the union with a new democratic charter. IL Wiedermann is a patriot. It’s not about the money. Huether will spend millions in public money hiring private lawyers to fight against the constitution. It’s about freedom. Freedom our descendents fought for. Huether has become a public enemy and must be recalled.
Actually Pathloss, this needs to go to the Supreme Court and it needs to have a definitive decision. While you and I (and most thinking/logical people) are of the considered opinion that the administrative appeals process is unconstitutional, until the Supreme Court says so, it’s just an opinion. If the Supreme Court finds in favor of rationality, then it is the law. If they find against us, then it’s an opinion that has been proven wrong. For the good of the city and the state, we need to take this to the South Dakota Supreme Court and have it decided once and for all. For this to happen, the city MUST fight for their laws.
Even if Huether were to decide not to appeal, it would not settle the issue. All they would have to do is slightly tweak their administrative appeals process and say it’s new and start all over again.
Anthony, you are right. Until the SC rules on the matter we banter about it all we want. I await their decision.
