Trump’s candidacy on the Illinois ballot should be decided by the courts, an elections board hearing officer says
The Chicago Sun Times ^ | January 28, 2024 | Dave McKinney

Posted on 01/28/2024 8:30:08 PM PST by PBRCat

The hearing officer, a retired Republican judge, wrote a scathing assessment of Trump’s involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection but said the courts ultimately should decide. The full board will consider the matter Tuesday

Former Republican President Donald Trump participated in the fatal Jan. 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, but it’s the courts — and not the State Board of Elections — that should decide whether to remove him from Illinois’ primary ballot, a state hearing officer recommended Sunday.

A Democrat thug like yourself believes that if your party gets control of the legal system, you should be able to use the "legal" system to go after your political enemies.

This happened in Athens, Tennessee many years ago.

How did that work out for you Demothugs?

Since I’m a Reagan conservative, you give me too much credit. Since Fingers, I only aspire to that.

First, since I only aspire to be a Demothug, I can’t answer. But isn’t it Trump who has used for years and plans to use the legal system for his own gains and retribution? Which again points out your desire for outcome vs rule of law. Sort of puts you in the Rev Al and Jesse Jackson camps.

lol like Trump being on the ballot in Illinois matters, that worthless state, well at least Chicago area is lost, perhaps the rest of the state should look to join neighboring states.
Fun fact
Chicago schools are funded 1/3 through chicagian taxes, 1/3 through confiscation taxes from rest of the state, and 1/3 through borrowing

Having removed Trump from the ballot, the Illinois Electors will not be seated in the electoral college when it gathers in December.

The Jan.20th 2017 riot by Democrats was a bigger insurrection than Jan.6th yet it’s completely ignored today. On that date Democrats attacked cops, destroyed property, committed arson, and attempted to stop the inauguration of a duly elected President. On top of this they also threatened to kill electors. And if you want a screaming example of the double standard of justice in his country, read this......

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/government-drops-charges-against-all-inauguration-protesters-n889531

ALL OF WHICH IS IGNORED TODAY!!!!

This is why I absolutely detest the Republican party. They allow democrats to constantly focus on Jan.6th without once pointing out the utter hypocrisy of Jan.20th

Ben Phillips and Kevin Greeson were also killed by Capitol Police when they had heart attacks triggered by flash bang grenades that blew up in their faces.

I was there. The Fife Patrol was gleefully tossing flash bangs and teargas into the crowd, which to my eyewitness account was loud, angry and peaceful. We honestly had no idea of any violence issues till we got near the car and heard someone talking about it.

That will be true only if the Republicans hold the House of Representatives. The new (118th) Congress will be sworn in January 3, 2025. If the Dems win the House, that strategy is dead.

Exactly right. Victor D. Hanson calls that out all the time.

Saying I aspire to what you call me shows I’m a Democrat? If so, that’s fine. But R is on my voter registration. You don’t have to worship Fingers in order not to be a democrat.

I’ve got to ask. Is Doctor Isabel your PCP since he so highly recommended her? Is Nick Fuentes your dream dinner guest? Since a kangaroo court is always a kangaroo court, should Fingers be found innocent would that mean he was found innocent in a kangaroo court?

I see you dodged if Fingers is found innocent inna kangaroo court, does that mean he was found innocent by a kangaroo court. And should felons be able to vote and hold elective office.
