(Republican Senate News) – The left-wing effort to try and remove former President Donald Trump from having his name on the primary ballot in the state of Maine has hit yet another snag. This is sure to send all of the liberals hoping and praying they can stop him from taking on the dementia riddled incumbent president, Joe Biden, this November into absolute hysterics. Then again, they are constantly in a state of hysterics, so this is really just another day ending in “y” for them, right?
Brooke Singman, writing for Fox News, reports that the Maine Superior Court has issued a stay on the decision from the state’s secretary of state to boot Trump from the ballot, pending a ruling handed down from the United States Supreme Court. I have a feeling that since the majority of individuals on the bench actually care about the Constitution, the ruling that comes out is going to be in favor of Trump. This, of course, has implications far beyond Trump’s campaign. If the secretary of state is allowed to willy-nilly pull people off the ballot, what’s to stop liberals in the future from doing this anytime someone offers them significant opposition?
“Trump appealed Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows’ ruling earlier this month, but the court on Wednesday said it will not consider the matter until the high court issues its own decision in a related case out of Colorado, saying it would be ‘imprudent’ for the court to rule on it before then,” Singman wrote.
The court has shot down Trump’s motion to “supplement the record” and also rejected his motion to “stay proceedings,” but “stays the secretary of state’s ruling, pending the decision by the Supreme Court.”
They then returned the matter to the secretary, saying they were doing so, “for further proceedings as necessary in light of the United States Supreme Court’s forthcoming decision in Trump v. Anderson.”
“As part of this remand, the secretary is ordered to await the Supreme Court’s decision in Anderson, and no later than thirty days after Anderson’s issuance, to issue a new Ruling modifying, withdrawing, or confirming her prior Ruling dated December 28, 2023,” the court stated in its ruling.
What started this whole mess was a decision handed down by the Colorado Supreme Court on Dec. 13, 2023, which took Trump off the primary ballot, stating he was in violation of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Singman then points out that Colorado heavily leans Democrat and is not going to be a state that is competitive for conservatives in the general election.
In other words, speaking strictly about the outcome of the election, the state isn’t going to determine whether or not Trump wins, should he be the nominee. It’s more than likely going to the incumbent regardless. But that’s not the point. The people of Colorado are supposed to have the right to choose who they want as their national leader and the court is trying to strip them of that right. We should all be rooting for the former president to come out victorious in this battle for his name to be on the ballot.
