Ex-Michigan U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter has sued a former top aide and
an ex-intern, saying they deliberately submitted forged nominating petitions
in his name to keep him from seeking re-election, the Livonia Republican's
lawyer said Thursday.McCotter lawyer David Ottenwess said he filed the suit
Thursday in Wayne County Circuit Court against Don Yowchuang and Dillon
Breen. Yowchuang, 34, was McCotter's deputy district director, and Breen,
20, was a student intern working for the congressman.Elections officials
discovered bogus signatures on the Livonia Republican's petitions, keeping
him off the 2012 primary ballot. McCotter quit Congress in July. Yowchuang
pleaded no-contest to forgery charges and was sentenced Jan. 18 to probation
and community service. Breen was not charged.In a statement, Ottenwess said
the two men "purposefully submitted forged petitions in order to keep McCotter
off the ballot and, thereby, denying him the opportunity to appear on
the August 2012 Republican Primary ballot." The lawyer said he said he
would use the subpoena power in the civil proceeding to "get to
the bottom of what really happened to sabotage ... McCotter."Reached by
phone Thursday night, Ottenwess said he expected the civil suit would pry
loose information that has yet to emerge in the criminal investigation."A
lot of new facts are going to come out, and we will
get to the bottom of this," he said.The Associated Press left email
and voice messa
law's meaning. Gura's clients and New York Attorney
General Eric Schneiderman, defending the law, disagree about whether there
is a split among federal appeals courts.In December, the Chicago-based 7th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the only statewide ban on
carrying concealed weapons, in Illinois. The court gave state lawmakers
until June to adopt a law that takes account of the ruling.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has said she will wait to see
what the state legislature does before deciding whether to appeal the ruling
to the Supreme Court.Gura said the Illinois ruling "brings this split into
sharp relief at the federal appellate level."But Schneiderman said the decision
in Illinois stressed the unique nature of the state law that was
struck down and contrasted that law with the statutes in New York
and elsewhere that give officials wide discretion in deciding whether to
grant permits to carry guns in public.The case is Kachalsky v. Cacace,
12-845.
