  2. This is a holiday gift to the Supreme Court. This gives them all the change to interpret just what they think A 14-3 actually means. It could be a precedent setting case.

  3. CRP *BRIEF* IS PET CERT

    LATE LACHES STUFF ???

    ZERO SLEEP FOR SCOTUS CLERKS IN 2024– JUST FROM E LAW CASES ???

  6. It would clearly be a bad precedent to exclude anyone from the ballot before they have even been convicted of anything. That could subject every candidate who files for ballot access to a “pre-trial hearing” on whether they *might* be excluded from running.

    Star Chamber stuff.

    Maine bars Trump from ballot as US Supreme Court weighs state authority to block former president
    NICHOLAS RICCARDI and DAVID SHARP
    Thu, December 28, 2023 at 6:55 PM EST

    PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally as the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to decide whether Trump remains eligible to continue his campaign.

    The decision by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows follows a ruling earlier this month by the Colorado Supreme Court that booted Trump from the ballot there under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

    That decision has been stayed until the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether Trump is barred by the Civil War-era provision, which prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.

    The Trump campaign said it would appeal Bellows’ decision to Maine’s state courts, and Bellows suspended her ruling until that court system rules on the case.

    In the end, it is likely that the nation’s highest court will have the final say on whether Trump appears on the ballot there and in the other states.
