Filing has closed for the South Carolina Republican presidential primary. Candidates needed a fee of $50,000. Only ten candidates qualified: Ryan Binkley, Doug Burgum, John Anthony Castro, Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, David Stukenberg, and Donald Trump.
Castro has been suing to keep Trump off the ballot in numerous states. Defendants inevitably argue that Castro doesn’t have standing because he isn’t a “real” candidate, but the fact that he has not missed being on the ballot in any state in which the filing deadline has closed should help him rebut that. It is especially notable that he is on in South Carolina, whereas Asa Hutchinson is not.
Filing for the South Carolina Democratic primary doesn’t close until November 10.
For the Nevada Republican presidential primary and the competing Nevada Republican caucus, here is a list of candidates in each.
While we hope the courts are emotionless androids who merely rule on the law, my experience has been that judges don’t like being called “half-wits,” something Castro might have known if had ever been licensed to practice law.
—>”In directing supplemental briefing, the Court cautions the Plaintiff to focus on factual and legal arguments, rather than personal attacks. Although Mr. Castro receives some leeway in his filings as a pro-se litigant, despite his representation that he possesses a law degree, his filings contain numerous examples of clearly inappropriate attacks. {See, e.g., Document 24 (referring to “the U.S. Magistrate’s willful blindness”); Document 28 (stating that “[i]f this Court had any self-respect, it would sanction WVGOP’s frivolous filings”); Document 31 (expressing “serious concerns about the competency of the Clerk’s Office” and “demand[ing] this Court have a discussion with the staff of the Clerk’s Office to take their work more seriously” because a document filed by an unrelated party was briefly misidentified as being filed by Mr. Castro); Document 48 (“the U.S. Magistrate Judge’s half-witted actions and inactions have brought to light the unconstitutional nature of the role of U.S. Magistrate Judges in our federal judicial system”); Document 53 (“Defendant Secretary of State is advised to read the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.”); Document 54 (“WVGOP’s filings have already exhibited a gross degree of intellectual deficiency” and “This Court should be ashamed of itself for allowing WVGOP to make a mockery of it.”); Document 63 (“Once again, Third-Party Plaintiff West Virginia Republican Party exhibits their gross lack of understanding of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure;” “WVGOP seems confused by this;” “WVGOP has exhibited a severe degree of intellectual deficiency”). This list is not exhaustive.}<—

John Anthony Castro successful at JAC-ing off for once! https://socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2023/09/will-john-anthony-castro-really-box.html
I bet AZ called judges halfwits as his cases were legitimately laughed out of court.
@SG,
Dr. Castro claims that to practice in tax courts, a lawyer does not need to be state licensed. His J.D. appears to the basis of his use of the Doctor honorific.
Who in the world is David Stukenberg???
> Castro claims that to practice in tax courts, a lawyer does not need to be state licensed.
To practice in the U.S. Tax Court (the only tax court in the U.S.) one *does* need to be admitted to the Tax Court bar which, in turn, requires state licensure. Castro is *not* admitted to the Tax Court bar and he *cannot* represent clients before the U.S. Tax Court .
Castro has an Enrolled Agent license which merely authorizes him to speak to the IRS on behalf of clients (i.e. if the IRS has a question about your 1040, the EA can answer the phone when the agent calls). To get an Enrolled Agent license you need to have a high school diploma and pass a multiple choice test. It does *not* require a JD and most EAs don’t have a JD (typically, this a credential obtained by CPAs).
That would be like me saying “I have a food server’s license and I have a JD, therefore, I’m a food attorney.”
Also note that even his Enrolled Agent license was recently suspended (but reinstated). Apparently he filed a FOIA to find out why it was suspended and the documents came back redacted. He then sued. His lawsuit to unredact the documents was apparently thrown out: “as the Court finds that the IRS has provided sufficient detail to demonstrate that Plaintiff is under investigation by the IRS, and that disclosure of the redacted portions of these 9 pages of records would impair its investigation, it also finds that the IRS has discharged its obligation to demonstrate that the redacted information would ‘seriously impair Federal tax administration’ pursuant to § 6103(e)(7).” [see: https://www.law.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Access-Reports-v.-48-n.6-March-23-2022.pdf%5D

WHO GETS THE 50 K–
STATE / PARTIES / BOTH ???
CCPNN is fake news. Trump will beat Biden. It won’t be close. Nonpartisan elections are a bad idea. Rancid commie voting can’t be done right, with or without the help of French surrender monkeys.
Deport this Castro fool to Cuba.
