Trump’s campaign said it will “quickly appeal.” In a 38-page ruling, the circuit court judge said the Illinois State Board of Elections’ unanimous decision to keep Trump on the ballot is overturned. A group of objectors challenged Trump’s access to the March 19 Illinois primary ballot alleging the former Republican president instigated an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and is ineligible to be elected president. Last month, the state elections board denied their objection. The group appealed to the state circuit court in Cook County. Wednesday, Cook County Circuit Court Judge Tracie Porter pointed to the Colorado Supreme Court’s action to remove Trump from that state’s ballot based on the 14th Amendment’s insurrectionist clause, saying it’s “persuasive law” and the court may consider it as precedent. “Until the U.S. Supreme Court renders a decision in the Anderson v. Griswold case, now pending before it, reviewing courts are still under a constitutional obligation to apply and interpret the law, and especially, continue the momentum of the electoral process in light of the March general primary elections,” Porter said. Trump’s objectors “have met their burden by preponderance of the evidence,” Porter said. Her ruling also said that the state elections board “was clearly erroneous in denying” the objection, that the board was in error “finding that the Respondent-Candidate’s Nominations Papers, including his Statement of Candidacy was valid” and the board’s decision to keep Trump on the ballot “is reversed.” The judge ordered the Illinois State Board of Elections to remove Trump from the March 19 ballot, but put a hold on her order until March 1, “in anticipation of an appeal.” Trump’s campaign promised to appeal, saying political groups are attempting to interfere with the election and deny Trump “his rightful place on the ballot.” “Today, an activist Democrat judge in Illinois summarily overruled the state’s board of elections and contradicted earlier decisions from dozens of other state and federal jurisdictions,” said Trump spokesman Steven Cheung. “This is an unconstitutional ruling that we will quickly appeal. In the meantime, President Trump remains on the Illinois ballot, is dominating the polls, and will Make America Great Again!” Trump has already dominated Republican primaries and caucuses in several other states, becoming the Republican party’s presumptive nominee.

Because the Democrats know they have no chance at all of winning the next election. Trump is far more popular now than he was when he won in 2016. Trump is going to win by a landslide and hopefully a red wave will flow through Congress so that we can pass laws to overturn all of the horrible Democrat policies that have been forced on the United States over the last 3 years.

Perhaps they would do better by improving themselves and offering the people something they want instead of trying to bar someone they make more popular by trying to bar. But I suppose that would requiring listening to what people think instead of trying to control what they think, something that seems to be becoming the point of the spear they throw as of late.

The legal system doesn't function the same when Trump is involved as it does when other public figures are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Democrats are basically handing Trump a guaranteed win in this election. Not only does his popularity get bigger with each false prosecution, but they aren't even attempting to replace Biden with a stronger candidate.

Which makes me wonder, how will they, under the orders of their master(s), prevent Trump from becoming President again. I still hold to my guesswork prediction that Trump will not be allowed to be President again (which may change, depending on events between now and then). Should be something interesting to watch as it develops, but maybe not so much interesting as frenetic for those watching it from up close.

I honestly think it's possible the Democrats will create at national disaster right before the election to shut down the country and either delay or cancel the election. The democrats have shown they are willing to go to great lengths and don't care about laws. They are already creating the conspiracy theory in the media that Trump will become a dictator and throw away the constitution. It's funny they accuse Trump of being a threat to democracy and yet the democrats are literally trying to stack the deck for this election. They are committing the very definition of election interference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
