Ben Carson just sent out this tweet:
“Cruz eligibility in question. Court ruling may remove from ballot. Illegal candidacy court filings say.”
Ben with some pay back.
“Ben Carson just sent out this tweet:”
Other than to sell books. Why is Ben Carson still in the race?
It is a Carson supporter who filed this action
The nation's integrity, our nationalism and the very definition of our American identity are the stakes in this card game the demonrats and the republicans have been playing since 2008.
I pray to God that we, the people, finally come to our senses and get back to following The Rules again.
Gentle Ben back to stabbing. Little bit of VP politicking? Maybe a wee bit of “Hey Ben, I’ll help out on the campaign debt. You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours”.
I am sure Cruz has no problem with anyone filing such suit. He is probably twice as legal smart as super leftist Larry Tribe.
This Lawrence Joyce, an attorney who has told local media that he supports Dr. Ben Carson and has had no connection with the Trump campaign, filed the suit in Circuit Court of Cook County in Chicago.
What is the likelihood this will get to court or meet Standing threshold, or that a County Court has any jurisdiction, or even it gets beyond all those tall steps the SCOTUS is not full seated and will not hear such a Constitutionally monumental case with one seat unfilled?
The first thing that jumps off the page is the filing lawyers unnecessary disclaimer that Trump had nothing to do with this. Maybe Bill Shakespeare’s “thou doth protest too loudly” is of interest.
Second, a Chicago Cook County Judge, Mmmmmm what could possibly make a thinking person wonder about any of this?
Third, what the heck happened to Trumps stealth suit in Alabam? Kind of vanished.
Forth, Standing.... Up until today no NBC suits have moved beyond “filing” due to Standing. With legal precedent and Law clearly setting Standing to only parties that are able to show a harm HAS BEEN DONE (meaning there is no standing for potential future harm, real or imagined).
Clearly this filing, in of all places Chicago, is no more than someone (maybe of orange tint) throwing out something in a desperate hope it clouds a few SC voters minds.
Unless the filer meets Standing and then wins in COUNTY COURT, which is appealed to a Federal Court Judge and Fed Judge rules for the filer, it next gets through Federal Appeals Court and then sits waiting until sometime in 2018 for the new Justice to be seated, unless all that happens, this is a No Show.
In any event with several States already ruling OK for the ballot, where does this prevent Cruz from being nominated or elected and sworn in as POTUS?
I predict that following this weekend, just like the Alabam “case”, we will never hear anything more on this particular suit.
Because of the last minute desperation, it is obvious that Trump’s internal polling is not good for him for Saturday.
