Last month a white supremacist filed a pro se federal
lawsuit over his exclusion from running in the
Democratic Party for US House.  The case is Miller v
Missouri Secretary of State, 06-5032, Springfield. 
The only proceedings so far are that the case has been
transferred from a federal magistrate to a federal
judge, Richard Dorr, appointed 2002.  This case is
interesting to those of us interested in freedom of
association for political parties.  Missouri, like
most states, has no explicit law giving parties the
right to keep candidates out of their primaries
because of their political views.
