Maine’s top election official has removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot, in a surprise decision based on the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban.”
Very likely they will overturn the CO decision…most of the states declining to remove him are because the party has the say on the primary ballot…its a different story on the general election though. This is what the MI court basically said. They left the challenge open for the general election qualifications.
Also SCOTUS declined to expedite the “immunity” ruling because they likely don’t want to take it. The appeals will very likely say “the president is not a fucking King” and the SCOTUS will decline to hear the case and say “what they said.”
SCOTUS is going to have to weigh in real quick if they don’t just stay out of the whole thing.
