Judge rejects Trump 14th Amendment claim in Nevada by GOP political competitor (DJT Wins)

The Hill ^ | 1/9/24 | Nick Robertson

[C210N]

A federal judge in Nevada dismissed a ballot eligibility challenge against former President Trump on Tuesday, ruling the challenge does not have proper standing.

Federal Judge Gloria Navarro determined that the man who brought the challenge, long-shot GOP presidential candidate John Anthony Castro, didn’t have authentic standing to bring the suit because he filed to run for president in order to manufacture legal standing.

“In rejecting his political competitor standing argument, courts have found that Castro improperly manufactured his standing merely to file this lawsuit,” Navarro wrote.

All the legal challenges will eventually fall by the wayside.

Every victory helps.

Federal Judge Gloria Navarro determined that the man who brought the challenge, ... didn’t have authentic standing to bring the suit.

But the headline wants us to believe it's a defeat in court for Trump. See Tagline.

If you remove ‘almost’ from your tagline, it would be stronger and IMHO more correct.

True.

They indirectly rule that Trump was not one of the officials in the Confederacy who was attempting to subvert the Union in the 1800s. That’s the reason for the amendment.

Doesn’t go to the heart of the issue, but it thins the herd of fake claims.

What a pie hole (no, the other one) title...

Trump did not lose a challenge. He won.

The Hill should get deductions for its donations to the
Democrat party.

Reminds me of the distinguished Charles Laughton in his role in Advise and Consent (1962). He called himself an old bullfrog just sitting in the sun on a lilypad in the creek.

At the time, Peter Lawford was the brother-in-law of JFK, the sitting President.

"Judge Rejects Trump.."

GREAT headline, Hill.. NOT.

[quilterdebbie]

Right! Badly worded headline!

[fwdude]

Can this title by the sHill be any more convoluted?

[glennaro]

Clearly a Democrat/Communist Party plant, Senor Castro isn't fooling anyone; he didn't even fool a judge which, much too often in "modern" America, is not that hard a thing to do. But fortunately there was no fooling this judge.

Yeah, can't stand these cowardly side-stepping courts which refuse to rule on the substance of issues brought before them.

Now, someone who IS deemed to have standing will sue for Trump to be removed.
