This petition from both major political parties and others in New York is likely to get the attention of some Supreme Court Justices. I think this case has a pretty good chance of being granted: it raises interesting and important issues about the rights of parties to decide how to choose their nominees and the special rules, if any, that should apply to judicial elections.
