The inane effort to remove Donald Trump's name from primary ballots hit another bump in the road for Trump haters when a Washington State judge refused to remove his name from the upcoming primary ballot. The effort was led by an easily triggered middle school teacher who told supporters that she wanted to inspire her students with her noble act. In the end, it was clear that somewhere in her education, she must have cut Constitution class. Judges agreed that there was no case.
It was the second hearing this week in Washington State. On Tuesday, the same small group of partisans was turned away when a Kitsap County judge said they filed their complaint in the wrong venue and declined to hear the case. The group's spokeswoman, Frankie Ithaka, a local middle school teacher, says she was inspired to erase Trump's name after hearing an interview with Washington's Secretary of State on the local NPR station.
"I wouldn't have known what to do without hearing that interview," she told the Seattle Times.
She collected a band of friends and together they decided that removing Trump's name was a noble effort to save democracy, but they had to do it quickly before the ballots went to the printer.
Ithaka never said she was a legal genius and proved it when she articulated her winning legal strategy after Tuesday's hearing. I was there to capture her words about adhering to the Constitution.
During the reporters' gaggle, she was asked by a reporter what the net effect would be if people could just write in Trump's name. Her response? "Good luck spelling."
This woman teaches (indoctrinates) your children.
But the "best" part of the presser was just before it started. See if you can spot me. [video]

A few bricks short of a load. The make “noble teachers”. “Easily triggered”.
They actually believe they are elite and we ALL are knuckle-dragging cave men.
That’s some “education” they’ve got there. Their collective confirmation bias without a single space for the slightest contradiction is astounding. This is who is educating our children.
The effort to remove Trump from the Washington state ballot was dead on arrival.
A “save democracy type” middle school teacher (who was on sick leave when
they taught the Constitution) was clearly nothing but a self-serving Trump hater.
Judges agreed that there was no case.
I will take “Who is a Dyke” for 200 Alex

I don’t know. Her keys are around her neck and not dangling from her hip :)
