Trump stays on the ballot. Boo Hoo to the haters.

 

"Former President Donald Trump challenged the Maine secretary of state’s decision to disqualify him from the state’s primary ballot, appealing on Jan. 2 to the Maine Superior Court.

 

He made several arguments, including that Maine Secretary of State Shanna Bellows was biased and should have recused herself, that she had no authority to remove him from the ballot or adjudicate the issue, and that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to presidents.

“The Secretary made multiple errors of law and acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner ... and President Trump will be illegally excluded from the ballot as a result of the Secretary’s actions,” attorneys for President Trump wrote.

 

The Kennebec Superior Court has until Jan. 17 to make a ruling.

With the appeal, President Trump will stay on the Maine ballot despite the secretary’s decision until a court rules otherwise."

So foolish are most of you to celebrate what is already a dead strategy.

It doesn't put him back on... it stops her from illegally removing him

Think all you want.  I should celebrate an SOS (Secretary of State) with no law degree, no legal background, taking it upon her corrupt self to interpret the Constitution? 

 

I think not.

That is what happens when one partisan stupid woman takes it upon herself to issue a decree. A decree isn't law. It's not close. 

 

Now she looks stupid, which is good because she is.

It rights the wrong that never should have been done to him.  The SOS from Maine is a partisan scumbag. It will all blow up in her face.

Boohoo this. As of this writing, the Orange-a-Peel had nothing to do with affecting his still remaining on the ballot because Maine's Secretary of State had already stayed her own decision way back in 2023 pending court review.
