Maine has now become the second state in as many weeks, following a December 19 Colorado Supreme Court decision, to make the determination that President Donald Trump cannot appear on the ballot in the 2024 election.
In a unilateral decision, the unelected secretary of state and far-left activist, heretofore unknown Shenna Bellows, disqualified from her state’s ballot the leading presidential candidate and presumptive nominee for the GOP. Rejecting any pretense of acting in accordance with due process or the rule of law, Bellows reasoned that our “sacred” democracy would only be preserved if she took it upon herself to reject Trump’s primary petition. Those in Maine who otherwise sought to cast their ballot for the former president vying for a second term this year would, by implication, have unknowingly been co-conspirators in a grand anti-democratic plot but for Bellows’ brave intervention, so her December 28 opinion read.

Think of yourselves as Jews in 1933 Germany.
Amen, compadre-I’m here and ready-”Es mejor morir de pie que vivir de rodillas”-too bad more people don’t understand what that means-and it doesn’t mean to hide and watch while others save your ass-nobody rewards cowardice in any case. I read “Atlas Shrugged” for the 1st time at 14-it was a birthday gift from my libertarian Hispanic parents, who did not like communist/socialist ideas-I’ve been waiting for the revolution ever since, wanting to be part of it-I still do-I’m older, but strong and fit, thank God. Many of my friends-and both coworkers-are Vietnam vets-they are older, too, but strong, fit-not people who run or hide. This is a rural area, so that is true of most people here...
What state are you from? If you happen to be in Texas or another red state, I’d suggest you go elsewhere if you intend to hide if things get serious, because I’m pretty sure those of us who will stand strong are not interested in protecting you, and the socialists won’t care what you abhor when they drag you out of hiding and take all your stuff anyway-vivir de rodillas-y disfruta...
Both decisions are stayed ..... and that’s the thing, they stayed their own decisions.
All of this was done for the propaganda, grandstanding and to appease the masses. Nothing more.
the Court should not rule on it ... 100% agree. But they should do it with flair. Press release stating that no one should send this garbage to them anymore.
What do you mean “abandonment”? Trump was POTUS, not king.

Maine now a none voting choice state no surprise the New England states are getting as bad as the left cost states.
Democrats in all but name like Kinzinger, Hutchinson, Griffin, Mittwit Romney, and Piss Christie don't and won't.
Did she also mention that she REALLY wants 50-100 bus loads of VISITORS from way down South?
We must save “Our Democracy” by banning names from the ballot...
