Remember when Obama was being challenged to be kept off the ballot in various states, in the 2008 and 2012 election cycles, the argument by the Dems back then was that the Secretaries of State played only an administrative role as to who got placed on the ballot and did not have the authority to make such decisions as to who was allowed on and who was not. Now the Dems are arguing the exact opposite position. Once again the double standard and law-fare is in full view.

Dems always change the rules to suit their needs. When they change a rule to help themselves, and that rule comes back to bite them in the ass, they will want to change the rule again, claiming it's unfair.

Bellows — another tinpot despot. The little dictator even admits her decision was not based on any ‘conviction’ but on her own opinion after watching youtube videos.

Thank you for referencing that article PJ-Comix.

"Maine's Top Election Official Removes Trump From 2024 Primary Ballot"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

First, the bottom line...

Consider that corrupt political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because the electoral college is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

Regarding so-called presidential primaries, such primaries aren't mentioned in 12th Amendment (12A) electoral vote rules.

Excerpted from 12A:

"The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President [emphasis added], and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate, [...]"

In fact, since 12A describes a write-in ballot, the only limit on POTUS and VP choices by appointed electors being that one of their write-in choices cannot be living in the same state that electors are voting in, political party-owned presidential primaries should be regarded as follows. Primaries are nothing more than overt unconstitutional interference in 12A procedures by the very corrupt, constitutionally undefined, self-serving political parties.

In fact, such interference is prohibited and punished by Section 2 of the 14th Amendment imo. (So all the states lose seats in the House? Could this possibly be the next best way to clean up Congress until patriots wise up and repeal 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments?

As you give Section 2 a look, note the zero tolerance "hair triggers" for enforcing that section. That section would probably have worked in favor of Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters in 2020 and 2022 elections if it weren't for the criminal-minded political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments imo.

In other words, wake up patriots!

After all, the drafters of the Constitution established the Electoral College to make sure that the right commander in chief was in the wartime Oval Office.

On the other hand, Obama had gotten the peacetime, constitutionally limited power Oval Office spot on by spending time on the golf course. After all, one of the main, but very few peacetime powers that the drafters had given to Congress to dictate domestic policy is to run the U.S. Mail Service.

Consider that most peacetime federal domestic taxing and spending is now wrongly based on unique state powers, and uniquely associated state revenues, that the post-17th Amendment ratification crook federal lawmakers that voters keep reelecting for unknown reasons keep stealing from the states.

Otherwise stated, the corrupt political parties are giving us unconstitutional, unaccountable wartime taxing and spending in peacetime.

Again, corrupt political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because the electoral college is the only thing stopping the political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.
