Judging from the erudite comments critiquing Bellows for dumping Trump,
(go to thread link above), I’d say she is working the wrong side of the street.
Bellows action is a direct violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. As a state officer, she is required to carry a surety bond, and she personally can be sued for this violation.
The insurance company that issues this bond is likely to tell her that she is on her own as she has made this ruling not on a due process court ruling, but that of her own volition.
Any town officer that violates the rights of the citizens can face the same reprisal.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the DEMOCRATS wanting to see her impeached.
If she’s not removed, even if her asinine decision is overturned, she’s going to bring a lot of MAGA money into Maine and that will likely (a) cost Golden his seat in the 2nd District and (b) shift the legislature back into a GOP majority.
Remember that it was the legislature that gave Maine Bellows, and that will be a campaign issue in some districts.
Furthermore, aren’t there Democrats ahead of her in line for the 2026 Nomination to run for Governor? She got lots of attention but not the kind she wanted. I can’t see Democrats being very pleased by this little stunt of hers.
There are a lot of Mainers not really paying attention to politics who are going to say, “she did WHAT??”
And if you are a Democratic legislator, is that the hill you wish to die on?
That and all of the other nutty stuff the Democrats want to advance — I’m wondering if they made her Secretary of State to get her out of the Senate…
So it may not come to an actual vote with lots of Dems voting to oust her, but don’t be surprised if she resigns to take some gig with the National ACLU......…
Trump's lawyers need to file a claim for oh, say, 2.5 billion dollars. Let Soros and other Dems fund her defense.
