The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to take a longshot challenge to former President Donald Trump's eligibility on New Hampshire's ballots during the 2024 election.
John Anthony Castro filed an appeal with the Supreme Court several weeks ago and claimed that the former president should be disqualified under a reading of a section of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment. Mr. Castro, a Texas lawyer who is running for president, claimed President Trump partook in an insurrection against the federal government due to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach.
“The decision by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida dismissing Petitioner John Anthony Castro’s civil action on the grounds that he lacks constitutional standing to sue another candidate who is allegedly unqualified to hold public office in the United States pursuant to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution,” Mr. Castro wrote in a petition for a writ of certiorari (pdf).

This Castro petition and Court ruling is typical of what Castro has to offer the American Voter; all mouth and no brains.

Well said.
And may it last forever.

There they go again with their alternative reality and their absolutely incorrigible attitude towards the law and the US Constitution.
Fitting indeed good one
Mr. Castro appears to be a rather mixed up young upstart.
