On June 6, U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Adelman, a Clinton appointee, issued a ruling in Stencil v Johnson, e.d., 2:22cv-305. This is a lawsuit filed in March 2022 by ten Wisconsin voters who wanted a federal court to declare that U.S. Senator Ron Johnson, and two Republican candidates for U.S. House, are ineligible to be in Congress because of the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection” Clause.

The ruling says the case is procedurally flawed. It says the plaintiffs should have sued the Wisconsin Election Commission, not the candidates themselves.
