MILWAUKEE - A federal judge in Milwaukee has dismissed a lawsuit seeking to bar Republican U.S. Reps. Scott Fitzgerald and Tom Tiffany as well as Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson from the 2022 ballot because they supported Donald Trump leading up to the January 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
The Capital Times newspaper in Madison reported Wednesday that U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman dismissed the case on Friday. He said the lawsuit wasn’t "procedurally proper."
The lawsuit alleged the three Republicans violated the "Disqualification Clause" of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The clause prohibits anyone from holding federal office who has taken an oath to protect the Constitution but also has engaged in insurrection against the United States. The provision was enacted after the Civil War to prevent members of Congress who had fought for the Confederacy from returning to Congress.
Tiffany and Fitzgerald were among 121 House Republicans who voted to object to counting Joe Biden’s presidential electors from Arizona on Jan. 6, 2021. Tiffany and Fitzgerald also were among 138 Republicans who voted to object to Biden’s Pennsylvania electors.

So why do Democrats never get tossed? People like Menendez?
Judge was a lazy coward for not ruling on the issue and tossing it for “lack of standing” BS.

so leftists attempt to bar democratic processes because of who the candidate supports??

Any judge who would rule otherwise should immediately be disbarred and removed.
Should have been dismissed immediately, since in America everyone is assumed innocent until “PROVEN” guilty in a court of law. And since these politicians were not even charged, much less found guilty of sedition, the whole case was moot to begin with.
What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats will do to us.
The court will look at standing, ripeness, jurisdiction etc before looking at the issues raised in the brief. If the brief fails on any of these, it is summarily denied. This is typical and proper. *Licensed in 3 states and two federal courts
A technical ruling is the coward’s way out. To rule otherwise would open the door to using the same insurrection clause against all who were engaged in the manufacture and trafficking of phony ballots after the polls closed.
This from another state that bai din “won”
Adelman is Leftward of Loony Left.
That he dismissed it at all is a near miracle
