Good. A judge who rules based on the law, not politics.

Legislative history will show this to be a Bill of Attainder as clearly it’s not aimed at anybody but Trump.

Judge is black, GWB appointee.

Good for judge England, a sane federal judge in CA.

Top KEK.

Frustrating that California can pass a law requiring Presidential Candidates to release their Taxes, but not a single state has passed a law requiring the verification of eligibility for office of the President including the natural born citizen requirement.

You might want to hold that thought until there is a permanent ruling instead of a temporary injunction.

The hypocritical left is having a cow over this. Just see what happens if Texas passed a law requiring a certified birth certificate as proof of the constitutional requirement to be a natural born citizen in order to qualify for the primaries and they’d come unglued.

A no-brainer, but still surprising that it was stopped by a sane ruling this quickly. I figured that it would make its way up the lefty-judge circuit until the SCOTUS.

California is in a state of insurrection against the Constitution. It will require military rule, eventually, to clean out all the traitors.

[Trump20162020]

They already knew it would. Every state legislator that voted for it just wanted to grandstand and make the taxpayers pay to fight the inevitable successful lawsuit against it.

The Constitution is very clear on what the requirements are to be President (age, natural born, residing in U.S. for fourteen years). Nowhere does it say "turn in your tax returns."

CA officials attempting to deny Californians their vote.

That’s electoral terrorism

[Svartalfiar]

A federal judge ordered a temporary injunction Thursday against California’s first-in-the-nation law requiring candidates to disclose their tax returns for a spot on the presidential primary ballot, an early victory for President Trump but a decision that will undoubtedly be appealed by state officials.

If we got rid of this crap, this wouldn't be an issue. Why is the State in any way controlling, or involved with, a primary? They should only be concerned with the general elections - any and all primaries should be handled exclusively by the parties the primary is for. Not only will this get the State/Cities out of interfering with the process, it'll save a lot of $$ for the municipalities/counties running elections. And, it just makes plain sense.
