 Democratic Freedom: Republican Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
As far back as 2000 the Republicans were talking about long term Republican gains in the Midwest, the heartland of America, and it seems that only the souring of the economy and the crisis in Iraq, is causing a delay in the emergence of the Republican majority in these states, at least in 2004.

 REPUBLICAN PARTY OF MINN. V. WHITE
Other plaintiffs in the suit, including the Minnesota Republican Party, alleged that, because the clause kept Wersal from announcing his views, they were unable to learn those views and support or oppose his candidacy accordingly.
The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment, and the District Court found in favor of respondents, holding that the announce clause did not violate the First Amendment.
That is, it guarantees a party that the judge who hears his case will apply the law to him in the same way he applies it to any other party.

All parties to this case agree that, whatever the validity of the Announce Clause, the State may constitutionally prohibit judicial candidates from pledging or promising certain results.

 Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois
Taylor also maintains that he was denied a transfer to an office nearer to his home because of opposition from the Republican Party chairmen in the counties in which he worked and to which he requested a transfer.

We explained that conditioning continued public employment on an employee's having obtained support from a particular political party violates the First Amendment because of "the coercion of belief that necessarily flows from the knowledge that one must have a sponsor in the dominant party in order to retain one's job." 445 U.S., at 516.
Again, however, the Court explicitly assumed that the sovereign could not deny employment for the reason that the citizen was a member of a particular political party or religious faith - `that she could not have been kept out because she was a Democrat or a Methodist.' 367 U.S., at 898.
Today the Court establishes the constitutional principle that party membership is not a permissible factor in the dispensation of government jobs, except those jobs for the performance of which party affiliation is an "appropriate requirement." Ante, at 64.

 History of the Early Republican Party

Unless the pool of judicial candidates is limited to those wealthy enough to independently fund their campaigns, a limitation unrelated to judicial skill, the cost of campaigning requires judicial candidates to engage in fundraising.
From the 1830’s until the 1850’s, as part of the Jacksonian movement toward greater popular control of public office, this trend accelerated, see Goldschmidt, Merit Selection: Current Status, Procedures, and Issues, 49 U. Miami L. Rev. 1, 5 (1994), and by the Civil War, 22 of the 34 States elected their judges, ibid.
By the beginning of the 20th century, however, elected judiciaries increasingly came to be viewed as incompetent and corrupt, and criticism of partisan judicial elections mounted.

Since he became Democratic leader in 1994, Daschle has excelled at holding Senate Democrats together and using the rules of the Senate to frustrate the Republican majority from 1995 to 2001 and to frustrate George W. Bush when he became Majority Leader in June 2001.
If he ever satisfactorily explains why he came so close to such treason in 1971, Senator Kerry will face the equally difficult prospect of explaining why he and the party he leads are so close to it again now.
