Groups pushing to disqualify Donald Trump from 2024 ballots struck again Tuesday, filing a lawsuit in Minnesota Supreme Court to bar him from the state’s presidential primary ballot.
I lost my list. Which disqualifying factor of Trump being ineligible to run is this again?
He’s not Minnesota nice.
I love this whole angle. And then the drip drip drip.
Truth is, Trump can’t fight this in the court of public opinion because the public only exists because of the popular.
Taking the incoming from all angles like this, well, the people that follow cults are just slaves to the popular.
Glad to see these lawsuits getting filed early so SCOTUS will be able to decide in a timely manner that only Congress gets to determine the 14/3 eligibility issue.
ETA: INDICTMENT INTERFERENCE!
Well here’s another law suit that Trump can use for grifting his base.
So I wonder if those complaining about inflation are neglecting to account for how much money their sending Trump?
It might end up that George Santos holds the nation in the balance…egads.
That deserves some Victorian-era astonishment.
Wouldn’t this “relief” need to pass both houses of Congress?
Santos will not be in Congress in January 2025. Hell, he probably won’t be in Congress in January 2024.
And it is exceedingly unlikely that Congress would declare trump ineligible and refuse to certify him if he manages to win the Electoral College again. Even if they did, it would just result in his VP taking office as acting president and pardoning his fat ass, so it’s almost as good for him as being preznit again.
“This is like a banana republic”
Donald Trump lies all the time about everything to everyone.
Bless his heart!
That’s Right! The only over priced clothing associated with this is the merch he sells.
I’m wondering who gets to pay for the legal challenge on Trump’s behalf. Does this come out of his PAC funds, or will the RNC be paying for it and he doesn’t even have to be involved?
He’s right this is like a banana republic. But disqualifying him from office is a step toward fixing that.
“This is like a banana republic,”
Ah yes, following the Constitution (i.e. enforcing the supreme law of the land) is just like being a banana republic.
This is a real stress test of the whole legal system.
And the base truth is we’re here because of a few huge and wholly spurious opinions: The slave states won’t revert to type, the unions will be able to match contributions with for profit business, and that corporations can act as people.
The slave states immediately did revert to type, and the recent Alabama gerrymandering case proves it without question.
For profit business has been putting the unions out of business since the Civil Rights Act. What’s more, no mechanism was put in place to ensure the quality of the original Roberts assertion. Trust, don’t verify.
Corporate personhood is absolute idiocy on its face. A person acting outside the law in our society is jailed, freedom of movement taken from them, submitted to rationing, etc. It’s a kind of psychological torture and an immediate penalty on your existence. How do you punish a corporation?
This all looks like Rich vs Poor to me. The law has been taking a shellacking so long I’m not sure where the good faith is anymore. It’s like church, they only ever turn up for the rich. Mercy.
What if I were to tell you that the primary purpose of the American legal system has pretty much always been to uphold the interests of amalgamated capital and the moneyed/privileged classes at the expense of their opponents and inferiors?
Anybody else who stole nuclear secrets and was still associated with a bunch of missing classified documents would be awaiting trial in prison. Anybody else who whipped up a mob to overthrow the government and continually threatened to keep doing it would be awaiting trial in prison.
It’s not a stress test of the legal system. It’s the legal system working as designed.
ETA: When trump gets sentenced to prison – which he will, before he strokes out to avoid it – it will be because he’s such a buffoonish, embarrassingly dimwitted lout that he’s forfeited the protections that the system has otherwise granted him. He’s such a maniacal dipshit that he made it obvious and easy for Jack Smith to get him.
Always remember who "The People " were at the time it was declared a government of, by and for the people.
Dear Minnesota,
Welcome to the club. Discovery is going to be such a Hoot!
