''Nader v. Brewer''〔531 F.3d 1028 (9th Cir. 2008).〕 is a 2008 decision by the Ninth Circuit ruling that certain Arizona voting regulations were unconstitutional under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The original lawsuit was filed by Ralph Nader, Peter Camejo, Donald N. Daien, and Kendle H. Greenlee against Jan Brewer in her official capacity as Secretary of State of Arizona. The Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear an appeal on March 9, 2009.〔(''Associated Press'', "Court refuses to reconsider state ballot rules", March 9, 2009 )〕 ==Background== The plaintiffs challenged two provisions of Arizona's ballot laws: * Arizona's residency requirement for petition circulators; * Arizona's June deadline for submitting signatures for independent presidential candidates. Under ''Anderson v. Celebrezze'', the Nader team believed the June deadline was unconstitutionally early.〔(''Ballot Access New'': "Huge Ballot Access Victory in 9th Circuit," July 9, 2008 )〕 The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit heard the case on April 15, 2008, and issued its 3-0 ruling on July 9, 2008. Judge Mary M. Schroeder wrote the opinion of the court, holding that both Arizona laws were not narrowly tailored to meet a compelling state interest, and were therefore unconstitutional.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nader v.
