    #Inéligible

  2. #BrianPritchard had been sentenced in 1996 in #Pennsylvania to 3 years’ probation for #felony check #forgery charges. His #probation was REVOKED THREE TIMES — once in 1999, after he moved to #Georgia, & again in 2002 & 2004. In 2004, a judge imposed a new 7-year probationary sentence on Pritchard, thus making him #ineligible to vote until at least 2011 in Georgia, where state #law prohibits #felons from voting.

  3. A #Michiganjudge ruled former President #Trump can remain on the state’s 2024 presidential #primaryballot, rejecting an attempt to remove him with a Civil War-era constitutional clause. 👀
    Michigan Court of Claims #JudgeJamesRedford rejected arguments that Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on the U.S. Capitol meant he was #ineligible for the #presidency.

  4. Torchinsky, a longtime GOP election lawyer who has also represented the #RNC, is researching the issue not for Trump’s rivals but for #JacobHarriman, the founder of a #nonpartisan service org called #MorePerfectUnion, Harriman said in a statement to The Washington Post.

    “It is critical to understand if there is a legitimate #risk of nominating a #candidate who could be deemed to be #ineligible for office,” Harriman said. Torchinsky declined to comment.

  5. #Trump has filed for removal... (wait for it)

    in #Colorado....to the #14thAmendment challenge by voters in that state.

    Trump is being repped by former Colorado secetary of state Scott Gessler. And the case has been assigned to George W. Bush-appointed Judge Philip Brimmer.

  6. Here's another #Republican who is calling for the use of political #violence if he doesn't get his way. Rep. #MattGaetz, a regular #rightwing rabble rouser, is calling for right vs. left physical violence if it is determined that #Trump is #ineligible to run for #president under the #14thAmendment.

  7. #JenaGriswold, the #Colorado secy of state, said in a statement, “I look forward to the #Colorado #court’s substantive resolution of the issues, & am hopeful that this case will provide guidance to #election officials on Trump’s eligibility as a candidate for office.”

    The #plaintiffs are #Republican & #unaffiliated voters who argue that #Trump is #ineligible & that they will be #harmed if he appears on primary #ballots.

  8. The theory that the #14thAmendment disqualifies #Trump has gained traction… since 2 prominent #conservative #law profs argued in an (Atlantic) article last month that his actions before & during the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the Capitol constituted engagement in an #insurrection. But it remains a #legal long shot. Trump would surely #appeal any #ruling that he was #ineligible, and a final decision could rest w/ #SCOTUS, which has a conservative #supermajority that includes 3 justices he appointed.…

  9. He summarized the article’s conclusion: “Donald Trump cannot be president — cannot run for president, cannot become president, cannot hold office — unless two-thirds of #Congress decides to grant him amnesty for his conduct on #Jan6.”

  10. Two prominent #conservative #law professors have concluded that #Trump is #ineligible to be #president under a provision of the #Constitution that bars people who have engaged in an #insurrection from holding government office. The professors are active members of the #FederalistSociety, the conservative #legal group, & proponents of #originalism, the method of interpretation that seeks to determine the Constitution’s original meaning.
