Banning President Trump from the 2024 presidential election is a serious issue that is being debated by some of the smartest people in the judicial system on both sides of the aisle.
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
The case will get worked out from a constitutional perspective, but in the meantime powerful people who were not required to be smart to be appointed to their positions are making decisions about election ballots.
This was mad apparent when California communist/globalist Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis made a glaring mistake in her letter to the state’s secretary of state demanding Trump be tossed from the ballot.
From the Daily Caller, the letter stated:
The Colorado decision can be the basis for a similar decision here in our state.
The constitution is clear, you must be 40 years old and not be an insurrectionist.
Shame on Kounalakis for making this unforced error.
She put her constitutional intelligence on full display. The Constitution provides three qualifications to be president: The candidate
– must be a natural-born citizen,
– must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years, and
– must be at least 35, not 40.
The Colorado decision in question is the 4-3 decision issued by the state supreme court stating Trump violated the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban” and is ineligible to be on the ballot in the state. The ruling is stayed until Jan. 4 pending an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. At stake is settling the issue by Jan. 5 which is the statutory deadline to finalize the list of candidates for the Republican primary.
Kounalakis’ letter was quick on the draw to urge all efforts to stop Trump before the primary begins. She railed about “honoring the rule of law” and “protecting the fundamental pillars of our democracy” as she demanded a ruling to stop a free election by the people.
Her letter stated:
I urge you to explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.
California is obligated to determine if Trump is ineligible for the California ballot for the same reasons described in the Colorado case.
The Colorado case was a close vote with harsh dissent from Colorado Supreme Court Chief Justice Brian Boatright. All of the justices were appointed by communist/globalist governors.
Justice Boatright wrote:
In the absence of an insurrection-related conviction, I would hold that a request to disqualify a candidate under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment is not a proper cause of action under Colorado’s election code.
Final thoughts: Kounalakis is in a similarly unfortunate position as Kamala Harris.
Besides exemplifying the Peter Principle, she is stupid and she has a staff that is lazy, stupid, or both, and who lack concern for striving to make their boss look smart.
