National Republican Senatorial Committee Files Amicus Brief in Trump Ballot Access Case that Emphasizes the Difference Between Running for Office and Holding the Office

On January 3, 2024, U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R-Montana) and the National Republican Senatorial Committee filed this amicus brief in Anderson v Griswold, the Colorado ballot access case involving former President Donald Trump.

The main point the amicus makes is to emphasize the difference between holding the office (which section 3 deals with, for insurrectionists) and running for office.  A second point in the amicus is to stress the freedom of association right of the  Republican Party to determine its own nominee without government interference.

  1. 14-3 OBVIOUS CONST DIS-QUALIFY SECTION –

    SINCE MERE LAW CAN N-O-T DIS-QUALIFY IF QUALIFS ARE IN CONST – USA REP/SEN/PREZ/VP

    RELATED — 12 AMDT ELECTORS CAN NOT BE CERTAIN FOLKS— 2-1-2 — A DIS-QUALIFICATION.

    COULD THEIR NAMES BE ON BALLOTS IN STATES LISTING NAMES OF 12 AMDT ELECTORS ???

  2. THUS — DOES THE ***RIGHT TO VOTE*** MEAN ONLY THE RIGHT TO VOTE FOR ***QUALIFIED*** CANDIDATES [AND HAVE SUCH VOTES ONLY BE COUNTED] ???

  3. I’d be interested in hearing what their plan is if they nominate Donald Trump and then the courts decide that he is ineligible to hold the office, since they’re eager to make this distinction between holding office and running for office.

    IF HE GETS ON NOV BALLOTS AND IS STILL OUT — THE GOP STATE 12 AMDT ELECTORS WILL VOTE FOR DC GOP ORDERED CHOICE –

    SAME FOR DNC DONKEYS IF BIDEN PASSES ON / IS OBVIOUSLY DISABLED.

  6. Joshua, the courts won’t issue any such ruling, meaning some local courts may but the supreme court will eventually shut it down, and Trump will be President again and save America. The illegitimate Biden interregnum will only end up making the second Trump term even more triumphant, glorious, and effective.

    The point in making this distinction as a legal strategy is to buy time until the court ultimately makes that determination, and to give the court one of many reasons to shut down the 14-3 nonsense.

  7. Pig Farmer and CKF make good points. It’s not hard to scroll past the screaming bot.
