Susan Byziewicz writes to me today (did she write to you too? what a coincidence!) that she will bring a declaratory action to determine whether she is qualified to be attorney general.
This is good news. I’d actually toyed with the idea of trying to sign up some lawyer friends to team up and bring such an action, though there are legal impediments to doing that (such as establishing standing) that Susan won’t have to face. I think she’s qualified by experience, but I don’t think she’s qualified under the law. My heart won’t be broken, in fact I’ll be glad, if a judge disagrees with me. She should be able to run.
But doing it this way, I assume perhaps under pressure from some in the party, she avoids the possibility of messy litigation in November.
