Key legal question
Whether the appeal satisfied the Federal Supreme Court's motivation requirements and was admissible.
Extracted holding
The appeal did not meet the applicable motivation standards because it failed to engage with the cantonal court's reasoning and merely attacked the cantonal government order.
Extracted reasoning
For political-rights complaints, free review applies only to directly linked constitutional and federal-law issues, whereas other cantonal procedural rules are reviewed only for arbitrariness. Here, the appellants did not address the challenged judgment and relied on largely appellatory arguments.
