So she’s practicing constitutional law without a license?

YouTube videos are the gold standard of truthiness, as we are told daily on FR.

I’m waiting for the dog catcher from Peoria to weigh in.

The dog catcher would be authoritative. I’m interested in what the dog catcher’s son’s third grade teacher’s hair dresser has to say.

Given the compressed timeframe, the novel constitutional questions involved, the importance of this case, and impending ballot preparation deadlines, Secretary Bellows has suspended the effect of her decision until the Superior Court rules on any appeal, or the time to appeal has expired.

A copy of the decision is here: https://www.maine.gov/sos/news/2023/Decision%20in%20Challenge%20to%20Trump%20Presidential%20Primary%20Petitions.pdf

It’s called the Administrative State. The executive branch makes decrees, and corrupt judges confirm their actions. The legislative branch is thus bypassed, in part because it chooses inaction.

"Bellows, who previously worked as Executive Director of the Maine Chapter of the ACLU but is not an attorney and did not attend law school, made the legal conclusion in her ruling that 'the declaration on [Trump’s] candidate consent form is false because he is not qualified to hold the office of the President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment.'”

In an earlier era, misfit children ran away from home to join the circus. Today they become ACLU executives.

This lady is nearly 50, and has braces on her teeth per the photo with Dementia Joe. So did she get into politics so that her political graft could pay them or is she just a vain little twit? Not that it couldn’t be both scenarios.

Are you sure they are braces - or did she have a "shower interview" with Ol' Rumpleforeskin?

“...Maine Secretary of State, a Non-Attorney...”

Actually, that’s a point in her favor.

She’s getting a lot of heat on her Twitter, and other social media. Glad to see it. And get this: Last November she was pushing herself as the protector of fair elections, now she’s interfering in one. She’s a fraud and a suck up to the Biden occupation.

According the webster it reads:

“an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.

This is the definition of insurrection.

The act of denying Trump the opportunity of freedom based upon the 14th amendment which reads

Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof...

violates his rights to run for office based upon accusations without proof. Therefore the Supreme Court of Colorado has committed an act of insurection by attacking the rights of an American citizen without proof or even a trial.

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-14/section-3/#:~:text=No%20person%20shall%20be%20a,a%20member%20of%20any%20State

Their action should be investigated, their files confiscated, and their law licenses revoked until afer trial as they have violated their oath:

I [name], do [select swear, affirm, or swear by the everliving God] that I will support the constitution of the United States, the constitution of the state of Colorado, and the laws of the state of Colorado, and will faithfully perform the duties of the office of [name of office or position] upon which I am about to enter to the best of my ability.

They committed insurection. And it is the same with the Sec of State for Maine.

Birthday jaunt to DC for a Women’s History Month
event at the White House yesterday and walking
around today. So wonderful to see one of my
earliest mentors Teresa Younger and fellow first
female Secretary Elaine Marshall of North Carolina
at the White House reception. Amazing to meet
President Biden.

Grateful for the birthday wishes today. ❤️❤️❤️
