A group of 11 North Carolina voters filed a legal challenge to disqualify Rep. Madison Cawthorn from running for a second term, arguing his involvement in a rally preceding the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hill constitutionally bars him from waging another campaign.
Lawyers for the 11 voters filed the suit to the State Board of Elections, contending that Cawthorn’s comments in the speech shortly preceding the insurrection violate the 14th Amendment, which states in part that no person “who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress ... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.”

Pro bear, but anti barratry.
Don’t these idiots know that “Dead eye” is one of them? Dang! He voted to impeach the president!
I’d like to see him gone also, but not this way.
This is like when they’d find one pastor who supported gay marriage, they’d blab it far and wide “Pastor supports gay mariage!” It was part of a larger plan to try to predent there was large group supporting the idea. And that’s how they generated social pressure for the idea. It’s astroturf.
Same thing here, eleven idiots call the liberal media, and get them to run the story - “Voters demand!”
The plaintiffs should be charged with contempt of court for bringing a frivolous lawsuit and the lawyers involved should be disbarred.
The NC Supreme Court is a majority leftist court, not even democrats bull full fledged leftists.
Bring it ash holes, bring it.
This is what the enemy does.
The commie ‘Hill’ writer: Tal Axelrod. Any relation to that commie David?
Not one of the January 6th defendants - those released and those still languishing under their torturers in the Feral Fascist Government’s D.C. dungeon - were charged with sedition or insurrection - both being felony offenses. Even the FBI declared that the actions of January 6, 2021 were those of a riot, and trespassing. Therefore, on what legal basis do these 11 effing morons, and their enablers, think they will prevail with this horse sh*t?
Roberts can’t help himself - he has a closet full of live little boys and dead little girls.
And theft of atmospheric oxygen from productive and intelligent citizens who need it, AND emission of globe-warming CO2 with no legitimate purpose.
Probably really only 3 real Voters, with everybody using a few
Dead People names and party registrations.
I suspect the latter, because democrat and republican commies hate the light and prefer to work in the dark background, generally.

I am wondering with all this cancellation from free and fair elections, canceling ones right to work, denying civil rights, will end up? It usually ends up in efforts to delete others.
Well sure. The libs are desperate. But since none of the Repubs have been found guilty of insurrection even the most left wing judges are going to have a hard time carrying this off. In fact the accusers are liable themselves for libel.
Trump is their real target, this is to see if such a case can make its way into the court and be won.
” contending that Cawthorn’s comments “
His words. What he said. Political speech.
If this gets beyond the very first trash can,
burn the whole effing place down.
Under the 14th Amendment, they can eliminate and arrest and charge ANY PROTESTERS ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME if an insurrection is declared.
THUS IT IS NECESSARY TO DECLARE TRUMP INSPIRED AN INSURRECTION ON JANUARY 6 2020.
GA's Majorie-Taylor Greene, and others in Congress or as former Trump staffers, and ANY broadcasters who continue to support Trump, will shortly follow.
