Guthrie Removal Case Briefs Filed In Supreme Court
Oklahoma City January 21 Attorney General West and Oklahoma City lawyers filed a reply to the Guthrie brief in the capital removal case. The document downplays the binding effect of the Oklahoma enabling act and notes the court’s prior ruling that the act and the convention's irrevocable ordinance were not binding. It argues the convention’s ordinance was not a constitutional or higher statute and cites the court’s June 11 opinion finding the election illegal. The reply contends the legislature could repeal and that Governor Haskell called a special session to pass a removal act, and asserts the legislature could convene where it chose.
