U.S. District Court in New Hampshire Says Courts Cannot Determine Eligibility for Presidential Candidates

Posted on by November 1, 2023

On October 27, U.S. District Court Judge Joseph LaPlante, a Bush Jr. appointee, issued an opinion in Castro v Scanlan, one of the anti-Trump ballot access lawsuits. Here is the opinion, which says that courts cannot adjudicate the qualifications of presidential candidates. The ruling also says that even if they could, the plaintiff does not have standing because his campaign for the presidency is so weak. He notes that Castro, whose name is on the New Hampshire Republican primary ballot, has not campaigned in New Hampshire. 1:23cv-416.

On November 1, the plaintiff filed an appeal in the First Circuit. 23-1902. He is asking for expedited processing.

U.S. District Court in New Hampshire Says Courts Cannot Determine Eligibility for Presidential Candidates — 10 Comments

  1. It’s surprising how many of the candidates who run in New Hampshire have such weak campaigns. I’d love to see an absolute unknown political novice with a reasonably well-funded, organized, and thoughtful campaign really go for it.

  2. With different courts in different districts ruling differently on these issues, it looks like the Supreme Court may be compelled to take up this ballot access issue.

    Are you feeling lucky, Castro?

  3. “I’d love to see an absolute unknown political novice with a reasonably well-funded, organized, and thoughtful campaign really go for it.”

    I don’t know about that, but I think “President Boddie” (a candidate listed in the Democratic primary) could capture some votes without Biden on the ballot there.

  4. The electors are the legal parties-in-interest anyway. No one voted for Trump or Biden or Jorgensen; we voted for electors pledged to them. I’m not sure you can keep his electors off the ballot even if you disqualify him.

  5. WIIL SCOTUS BE ASKED TO BYPASS CT APP ???

    USA – ALL STATE VIOLATIONS OF USA CONST

    STATES – ALL USA VIOLATIONS OF USA CONST

    NOTE ART VII- USA CONST CREATED BY 9 STATES

    TOO DIFFICULT FOR SCOTUS ???

  6. Biden is doing a write in campaign. Stupid games. Just like all the 14-3 crap against Trump. All that crap will ultimately die in a fire in the Supreme Court. All the other pathetic schemes against Trump will fail too, like they always do. Trump will win. Trump will be President again. It won’t be close.

    Trump will save America and make us great again, again. He’ll make us greater than ever. He will have an extremely successful second term. He’ll be our greatest and most beloved President ever. God will bless America as America blesses God.

    With Jesus, Trump and the Flag we can’t be stopped. We will defeat our enemies, foreign and domestic, deport the illegals, and put women back in the kitchen and homosexuals back in the closet where they belong. Red China, Saracen Jihadists and Ukrainian Nazis will be defeated. Russia will be our friend.

    The streets will be swept clear of dope, criminals, bums, and vagrants. Tranny tyranny will be ended. We’ll put Christian prayer and segregation back in the public schools and have reparations for the families of slave owners. It will be glorious!

  8. WMCT –

    WHAT ???

    NO REPEAL OF 13 – 14 – 15 AMDTS ???

    BAAAAACK TO SLAVERY, GENOCIDE AND STATE TYRANTS

  9. crAZy is nuts! Yes, of course repeal those improperly passed amendments, along with many others. The fascist demon rat propaganda that it would lead to slavery, genocide and tyranny is fake news, like USSR today. Actually, it’s the fascist demorats who are creating slavery, genocide and tyranny.
