Detroit Free Press
<http://www.freep.com/article/20130618/NEWS06/306180099>: "Former
Detroit Medical Center
<http://www.freep.com/article/20130618/NEWS06/306180099#> CEO Mike
Duggan is not eligible to run for mayor of Detroit because he did not
meet city residency requirements, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled
today <http://www.freep.com/assets/freep/pdf/C4207094618.PDF>."
I cannot find the dissenting opinion posted anywhere yet. An appeal to
the Michigan Supreme Court is still possible.

Another Answer on Arizona <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=51795>
Posted on June 18, 2013 10:26 am <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=51795>
by Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
In response my earlier post <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=51773> on why
liberals joined Justice Scalia in the Arizona case, a longtime reader
writes:
"I'm open to other ideas."
They won in the immediate instance, and that's all they cared about.
Liberals don't care about stare decisis, conservatives do. So any
victory liberals win is carved in stone, any victory conservatives
win is written in the sand. Nothing in the decision the liberals
dislike will stand if they get a fifth liberal vote. So, why should
they care? It was a meaningless scrap tossed to the conservatives to
buy the win.
Arizona will follow this "roadmap", and find every step of it
contested, to run out the clock until one of the conservatives
croaks, and five liberals completely re-write every temporary
victory the conservative majority 'won', not just on this, but
campaign censorship, the RKBA, every bit of it.
They have no respect for precedent, so they can make deals never
meaning to keep them. That's my explanation.

My SCOTUS Predictions on the Remaining Big 4 Cases
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=51792>
Posted on June 18, 2013 10:21 am <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=51792>
by Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
Here's my chance to get proven wrong rather quickly (rather than over
years, as is the more common way that academics are proven wrong!).
These are listed in order from greatest to least confidence.
Shelby County
<http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/shelby-county-v-holder/?wpmp_switcher=desktop>:
5-4, striking down the coverage formula of the VRA, and inviting
Congress to rewrite the coverage formula, which the Court, and everyone
else, knows Congress won't, effectively ending preclearance under
section 5 of the Voting Rights Act
Fisher
<http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/fisher-v-university-of-texas-at-austin/?wpmp_switcher=desktop>:
4-1-3 with the four conservatives ready to say all affirmative action
programs privileging race fail under strict scrutiny, with Justice
Kennedy, for himself alone, not willing to go as far (J. Kagan is recused)
Prop. 8
<http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/hollingsworth-v-perry/?wpmp_switcher=desktop>:
5-4 dismissal of writ as improvidently granted based on standing
(Kennedy with four liberals), with the effect that Prop. 8 is likely
banned in CA but the issue continues to percolate in the lower courts
DOMA
<http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/windsor-v-united-states-2/?wpmp_switcher=desktop>:
Either 6-3 (Kennedy, liberals, Chief) or 5-1-3 (with Chief avoiding
merits) finding DOMA unconstitutional as applied.
How much would I bet on getting this perfectly right? Not much.
