Porter grew up in the Englewood community of Chicago, according to her page on the Cook County Democratic Party website. She received a bachelor's degree from Cornell College then studied at Drake University Law School for her Juris Doctorate degree.

Before joining the Circuit Court of Cook County, Porter worked as a lawyer, with licenses to practice in both New York and Illinois, and law professor. She is both an adjunct professor of law at Drake University Law School and a professor of law at Abraham Lincoln University School of Law.

Englewood is a crime infested Chicago ghetto.

The Abraham Lincoln University School of Law is an online diploma mill based in Los Angeles, California. According to sources, its graduates have an abysmal pass rate on the California bar examination.

The seventy-two page opinion issued by this dizzy judge demonstrated that she is woefully ignorant of the limited authority of electoral boards in the State of Illinois. Porter criticized the Illinois State Board of Elections for not removing Trump from the ballot despite the fact that the State Board lacked the power to do so under the applicable laws and based upon prior Illinois court decisions.

Chaos is coming. The closer we get to a Trump victory the more chaos. They CANNOT allow Trump to take power ever again. Expect corrupt judges and officials to ratchet up their lawfare all the way to November.

She’s a liberal activist who has no business being a judge, except to further liberalism.

Without looking or reading, she’s a fat black woman democrat with delusions of grandeur and a giant chip on her shoulder looking to advance in the Democrat machine by grandstanding.

Now I’ll look.

So, any county judge in Illinois can declare someone ineligible to run for office? There are over a hundred Illinois counties. Can a county judge in Southern Illinois strike Biden off the ballot for allowing an invasion of our country?

She is a domestic enemy of The United States. Therefore her actions are null and void. She should be stripped of her office, disbarred, and never allowed to vote again.

She’s a traffic court judge, limited to misdemeanor traffic cases. An overpaid popcorn fart of jurisprudence.

She is so far out of her lane there is not a nation in the world that would accept her ruling, let alone a village in the Amazon.

Yet the headline reads that she kicked Trump off of the ballot. I know that this isn’t the final word, but how is he even temporarily off the ballot on her say so?

Porter is is a Judge in the Traffic Court.

And even that jurisdiction is a reach above her intellect, BUT Porter wants street cred so that she can be appointed to SCOTUS like Jackson was, on the basis of gender and race, rather than on practice and scholarship.This is a Porter SCOTUS campaign.

Mark every single one of them. They are in blatant disregard for their oath of office. These are the tyoes of people who should not only be kept off of balkots but out of the voting booth.

Until we have a mechanism of enforcement to maintain overall fidelity to the United States and,its Constitution, we are essentially *inviting* turds into our punch bowl.

She’s not a “liberal”.

She’s merely a moron.

Being a classical liberal would entail actual rational thought and critique of existing norms, e.g. Martin Luther.

She’s not capable of rational thought. She merely regurgitates propaganda memes.

Another Affirmative Action Piece of Meat with two eyes. No wonder she hates Trump. Dumber than a sock full of rocks. With “judges” now being classified as little gods on Earth, it seems like we should probably try to hire people with brains for those jobs.
