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.

“Do the Lyndon Johnson. Ain’t running. Ain’t serving if elected.”

Well that isn’t remotely what Lyndon Johnson was doing.

Lyndon Johnson was running for a 2nd term until the serious antiwar challenge in his own party took a chunk out of his hide. He quit the race only when he saw that he was going to lose the nomination.

Gene McCarthy, the half-serious antiwar candidate, pulled 40% of the New Hampshire primary to LBJ’s 50% in March. And when the much more serious Bobby Kennedy entered the race Johnson withdrew in favor of VP Humphrey.

Not comparing motives. Just both should do the honorable thing and step aside. Simply too much baggage between the 2 of them and it’s time to move on.

No, not at all. Most democrats suffer TDS.

Make up your mind.

My mind is made up.

I’ve found that both sides suffer TDS. The worst cases are with supporters. Most were referred to Dr. Isabel.

Johnson’s address to the nation on his decision not to seek reelection. I am so old, I remember seeing it as a child:

I could only stand to listen to half of it. I really despised LBJ back then. He was a horrible president that stuck us with the monstrously big and instrusive government that we live with today.

At least it began with him. The establishment Republicans helped him do it. Nixon added even more agencies that plague us to this day. You’d have to go back to Eisenhower or maybe JFK to find an administration that wasn’t committed to interfering into every aspect of your life.

My investments are doing great too - and I didn't cough up all my personal info to the Zuckerbot.

All boats are rising in the pumping of the market for The Tater's re-"election" bid.

You and your family just keep telling Mark all your inner thoughts.

I tell mark nothing. Of course he can likely find out anything about either of us without much effort.

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

That's not how the electoral college works. The electoral college does not meet in one location, hence they could not be denied any seats. If Trump were kept off the ballot in Illinois, Biden would win the electors, who would meet in Springfield to cast their votes which would then be sent to Congress. If the GOP holds a majority in Congress (both houses), they could vote to refuse to accept those electoral votes, but that is not automatic.

You're on Fecesbuch.

You've told him nearly everything.

Me? Not so much. I'm not in his databases.

You're a liar, as is the usual way with you.
