Court Blocks Removal of Trump from Primary Ballot [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 12 November 2023 | John Semmens

The Minnesota Supreme Court rebuffed an attempt to block Donald Trump's name from appearing on the state's primary ballot. Chief Justice Natalie Hudson wrote "that while it is correct that a person guilty of participating in an insurrection against the government may be barred by the Constitution's fourteenth amendment from ever holding public office, there is no prohibition against a Party nominating a candidate who is ineligible to hold office. The proper time for addressing this issue would be after the ineligible person has won the election."

Ron Fein, legal director of Free Speech For People who represents the anti-Trump challengers, expressed disappointment with the ruling, saying "it would be more prudent to dispose of this issue earlier rather than later. Waiting until after an ineligible person has the votes needed to win the election is asking for trouble. If we thought we had problems with a losing candidate questioning the election in 2020, imagine how much worse it could be trying to bar an election winner from seizing power."

...a person guilty of participating in an insurrection against the government...

But that NEVER happened to Trump, nor has he done so!

. Even the case in DC before the Jamaican judge isn't about insurrection, and if he's found guilty of the charges there, he still will not be found guilty of insurrection!

Ineligible like Obama wasn’t a citizen or Biden having actually lost the 2020 election?

LOL-—”Free Speech For People expressed disappointment with the ruling. “If we thought we had problems with a losing candidate questioning the election in 2020, imagine how much worse it could be trying to bar an election winner from seizing power.”

So, what Fing Ahole didn’t notice the word “guilty”? That is key. It is in the Constitution.
