DeSantis says Maine Trump decision ‘opens up Pandora’s box’
thehill ^ | Dec 28, 2023 | Sarah Fortinsky

“The idea that one bureaucrat in an executive position can simply unilaterally disqualify someone from office, that turns on its head every notion of constitutional due process that this country has always abided by for over 200 years,”

“I don’t think that this ultimately will be legally sustained by the US Supreme Court. But I do think that this is going to be a constant throughout the election year, where there’s going to be different parts of these legal cases that are going to be front and center,” DeSantis said.

desantis does it again - says it's wrong that the maine SOS unilaterally disqualifed Trump.

But desantis WILL NOT say Trump should be on the ballot, or that the Supreme Court should state that Trump is not guilty of insurrection, and not governed by the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.

And he's suppose to be a harvard trained lawyer...

🙄

And he's still whining about all the attention Trump is getting.

J6 insurrection is the unsold Big Lie. Only a lunatic believes that J6 was an insurrection.

.
Biden is on Video admitting to giving Ukraine a $1 Billion dollar bribe to Fire the Prosecutor (unprecedented in History), so where are the Republicans?

Why isn’t Joe being removed any state ballot?

The Trump justice department is going to be really busy using subpeona power to gather all communications and backroom wrangling to prosecute these folks for the same thing they are trying to prosecute him.

Actually, the decision will effect only Maine.

The Maine electoral delegation will just not be admitted to the voting. Maine will lose it’s say in the Presidential election

Let’s me honest, the Dem dirty rotten unethical illegal games have only just begun.

You don’t need a good memory to remember how they used the FBI and CIA and DOJ to concoct a totally fabricated scheme they called Russian collusion, perhaps the most blatant and largest election interference scam in our history.

Now it gets worse, trying lawfare to put him in jail and get him off the ballot and they just got started.

The SCOTUS needs to step in right NOW with a 9-0 decision.

Most republican politicians are exposing themselves as deep swamp rino uniparty people, who are in it for their own gains...

Otherwise they would have stepped up and tried to do something to fix obvious problems....

For instance, how many republicans have said anything about the 10,000-12,000 illegal aliens invading the U.S.A. everyday?

@#$%! GOPe rinos... the republican party is useless and needs to die.

He has made himself a yip yapping puppy trying to take down the big dog.

You have a lot to learn about a lot of things, Ron.

He is clueless about how to relate to people and gain a following. This isn’t how you do it.

All of this is political theater and virtue signaling. Trump will be on the ballot. The SC will see to that. What i haven’t figured out yet is what value these imbeciles that keep promoting this nonsense think they have to gain. These actions only help Trump. Each time without fail, it opens a few more eyes to the game thats being played. This SOS speaks as though she already knows her ruling is going to be dismissed….so why do it? If there is no upside for her.

Governor DeSantis proves himself to be articulate and well reasoned in his analysis of the Democrat attack on free elections. I can’t help but contrast him to the almost- embarrassingly inarticulate President Trump (and most of his sycophants as well.)

.......Dem dirty rotten unethical illegal games have only just begun....remember how Hillary financed, and lefties duped the FBI, CIA and DOJ into the Russian collusion scheme, the most blatant election interference scam in our history.


I cant help but laugh that the gullible lefties still believe in Hillary’s RussiaHoax, the PeeTapesHoax, the SteelDossierHoax, and EVERY other Trump takedown story......just as long as its supported by “confidential sources.”
