#Maine disqualifies #Trump from presidential primary ballot, citing #insurrection clause
Move comes days after #Colorado supreme court removes Trump from state primary ballot for same reason
by Maanvi Singh and agencies
Thu 28 Dec 2023 20.30 EST"Maine has blocked Donald Trump from its presidential primary ballot, becoming the second state to bar the former president from running, under a constitutional provision that prevents #insurrectionists from holding office.
"On 19 December, a decision made by Colorado’s supreme court removed Trump from that state’s primary ballot, citing the same constitutional clause and setting up a legal showdown at the US supreme court.
"Maine’s secretary of state #ShennaBellows examined the case after a group of citizens challenged Trump’s eligibility and concluded that Trump should be disqualified for inciting an insurrection on January 6, 2021.
"'I do not reach this conclusion lightly,' said Bellows, a Democrat, in the decision. 'I am mindful that no Secretary of State has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment. I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection.'
"Trump is the current Republican frontrunner, and his campaign has vowed to appeal the decision. 'Make no mistake, these partisan election interference efforts are a hostile assault on American democracy,' said #StevenCheung, a Trump campaign spokesperson, in a statement, also accusing Bellows of being a 'a virulent leftist'.
"Unlike other states, Bellows, who oversees elections in Maine, was required to make an initial determination about disqualification before it was considered by the courts. Bellows has suspended the effect of her decision until the state’s highest court rules on any appeal.
"The decision, if it takes effect, would apply only to the state’s March primary, but its conclusion would probably also affect Trump’s status for the #November2024 general election. Both Maine and Colorado are Democratic-leaning states, which means Joe Biden will likely win in both. However, while Maine has just four electoral votes, it’s one of two states to split them. Trump won one of Maine’s electors in 2020.
"Both the Maine and Colorado decision are based on section 3 of the #14thAmendment, which bans from office those who 'engaged in insurrection'. The provision, which came after the civil war, was intended to prevent Confederates from retaking power.
"Legal scholars have argued that the clause should apply to Trump because of his role in trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election and obstruct the peaceful transfer of power. The clause has rarely been used and has not previously been tested on the office of the presidency.
"Lawsuits in #Minnesota and #NewHampshire arguing that Trump should be excluded from the ballot based on the 14th amendment were dismissed. In #Michigan, plaintiffs appealed to the state’s supreme court after lower courts declined to disqualify Trump.
"The US supreme court may ultimately resolve the issue nationwide. The Colorado Republican party has already appealed to the country’s top court and Trump is expected to file his own appeal over the disqualification in both states.
"The highest court currently has a 6-3 conservative majority, which includes three justices nominated by Trump."

Supreme Court Rules Against #NavajoNation in #WaterRights Case
The vote was 5 to 4, with the majority finding that an 1868 treaty did not require the federal government to ensure the tribe had access to water.
By Adam Liptak
June 22, 2023"The Supreme Court ruled against the Navajo Nation on Thursday in a water rights case, rejecting the tribe’s suit against the federal government in a dispute over access to the drought-depleted Colorado River system.
"The vote was 5 to 4, with Justice Brett M. #Kavanaugh writing for the majority. He said the 1868 peace treaty at the heart of the case did not require the federal government to take 'affirmative steps' to secure water for the Navajo.
"In dissent, Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, joined by the court’s three liberal members, said the tribe’s request was more modest than that, adding that the government had violated the plain terms of the #treaty and had given the tribe an epic runaround.
"'To date, their efforts to find out what water rights the United States holds for them have produced an experience familiar to any American who has spent time at the Department of Motor Vehicles,' he wrote. 'The Navajo have waited patiently for someone, anyone, to help them, only to be told (repeatedly) that they have been standing in the wrong line and must try another.'
"He added that the runaround had persisted for decades: 'When this routine first began in earnest, Elvis was still making his rounds on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show.’
"The Navajo Tribe is one of the largest in the United States, with more than 300,000 enrolled members, Justice Kavanaugh wrote. And its reservation, a product of the treaty, is the biggest in the nation, spanning more than 17 million acres in parts of #Arizona, #NewMexico and #Utah. It is about the size of West Virginia.
"In the arid West, Justice Kavanaugh wrote, 'water has long been scarce, and the problem is getting worse.'
"The tribe sued the federal government in 2003, seeking to compel it to assess the tribe’s needs and devise a plan to meet them. The states of Arizona, Colorado and Nevada intervened in the suit, seeking to protect their own access to water from the #ColoradoRiver system."

Not to mention conflict of interest from camping with Trump whisperer, warmonger #ErikPrince!
#ClarenceThomas pressured to recuse himself from #Trump immunity case
Story by Gloria Oladipo, December 12, 2023
"Senate Democrats are pressuring the supreme court justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from deciding whether Donald Trump has immunity from prosecution for alleged crimes he committed while president.
"Democrats have argued that Thomas poses a potential conflict of interest because his wife, Ginni Thomas, has previously supported Trump’s false claims that the election was stolen, the Hill reported.
"During her testimony to the committee investigating the January 6 insurrection in 2022, Ginni Thomas said she still believed the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.
"Following the 2020 election, Ginni Thomas also texted former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows and told him to contest the election results, accusing Biden and Democrats of 'attempting the greatest Heist of our History'.
"The Illinois senator Dick Durbin, who is chair of the Senate judicial committee, has called for Thomas’s recusal, arguing the relationship between Trump and the Thomas family is unclear.
“'There are so many unanswered questions about the relationship of the justice and his family with the Trump administration that I think in the interests of justice, he should recuse himself,' Durbin said to the Hill."

“Senate Committee Authorizes Subpoenas of Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo as Part of Supreme Court Ethics Probe
The subpoenas ask for details on gifts, travel and other perks the two men provided or helped arrange for Supreme Court justices and their relatives, but Senate Democrats will need help from their GOP colleagues if Crow and Leo defy the subpoenas.” #ClarenceThomasResign

Breaking: Another revelation of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's ethical lapses.
In 1999, he "borrowed" more than a quarter of a million dollars from a wealthy friend to buy a 40-foot luxury motorcoach.
Thomas only paid interest on the loan for a while.
In 2008, the "loan" was "forgiven".
So nice to have such generous friends.
Also, Justice Thomas didn't declare the forgiven loan to the IRS as income as required by law.

There’s no question that Clarence Thomas gets favors from the Koch brothers, and does favors for them to help them fund raise for their various causes. And some of these are the ways they fund their causes. This is what Clarence Thomas believes also. #ClarenceThomasResign #ImpeachClarenceThomas.

Just as Christine Blasey Ford told the truth about Brett Kavanaugh's attempt to rape her, so did Anita Hill tell the truth about Thomas and his long, dong silver. And just as Judge Rapey VonBeerguzzler lied his ass off at his hearing, so, too did Clarence Thomas lie his ass off at his.

The lawyer for Clarence Thomas recently released fiery statement about attacks that set a terrible precedent for "political blood sport"…after Thomas finally discloses his horde of gifts…Sherrilyn Ifill’s retort?: The “witch-hunt” claims to cover one’s own failures is tired & irresponsible. Your client has the privilege of serving on the highest Court of the most powerful country in the world. For life. He is required to make disclosures he failed to make. #FollowBlackWomen #ClarenceThomasResign
