 Attorney General Kathy Jennings moved to appeal the ruling and the Supreme Court voted 5-0 that the plaintiffs, Representative Gerald Hawker and Michael Minella, who were represented by Attorney Jane Brady, lacked standing to bring the case. A statement from House Minority Whipland in New York says that the Supreme Court sidestepped the core question of constitutionality by throwing out the Superior Court's ruling on standing, which, as the justices explained, simply determines who can bring a legal challenge, not the Supreme Court.
