Kobach appeals order to answer questions under oath

http://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article164733447.html

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is seeking to avoid answering questions under oath about plans to change U.S. election law.

The Kansas Republican filed a notice late Monday saying he is appealing to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals an order to submit to a deposition by the American Civil Liberties Union.

The ALCU called Kobach’s appeal of the deposition order “bizarre.”

Two federal judges have each twice ruled Kobach misled the court about the contents of documents he took into a November meeting with then-President-elect Donald Trump and a separate draft amendment to the National Voter Registration Act.

Wants to be the next Gov of Kansas if his bromance with Trump fizzles.

They lie so often it's hard to keep their stories straight and often end up shooting themselves in the foot. Kobach has had the same voter suppression agenda for years and he's made a good living showing GOP held states how to eliminate their pesky Democratic voters. Now Trump has given him license to do to the whole country what he to stop voters in Kansas.
