“How is a State Judge allowed to keep Trump away from the campaigning for 8 weeks?”
According to this, he’s not. He’s committing a crime.
Because they do what they want and nobody stops them.
Plenty of local politicians have gone to jail over using their govt facilities to shape an election.
Exactly, bigbob. Who will stop them? Surely not the pubbies. They don’t have the spine for the fight.
And, John Q Public gets trampled by the bureaucracy as if they had tried to overthrow a fatally flawed election outcome.
So Congress can make a referral on this to Mr. Garland.
It will then be up to him to show his non-partisan application of the law by standing up a Federal Grand Jury to indict Bragg, Merchan, Chutkan, Willis and all the shadow people in the White House who have been running this stage show.
We all know how that one would work.....
Actually the path to the court is through the executive branch, they enforce the laws. The venue for this charge would be primarily in the Southern District of NY BUT it being a national interference, I think any venue where Trump wishes to campaign would be a contender. Now then, who working for the AG would bring such a charge? What is even more telling here is the prior DA refused to take the route being taken against Trump. So, to me it is clearly a case of intimidation.
He won’t. He’s a partisan hack and doesn’t care if everyone knows it.
that’ it: Nobody Stops Them!
Trump has standing, can he not press charges?
“I think any venue where Trump wishes to campaign would be a contender”
That’s a good point, and why I said referral to Garland - it’s national.
But if he won’t do anything - and we know he won’t - there’s a bunch of federal districts where a complaint could be made, and it wouldn’t be the DNC’s own judges running the show.
What was it Jim Comey said about Hilary and her closet server? Didn’t want to engage in election interference? He knew that the law would expose him to actual liability, not just an appearance of it.
Another good question.
So bring a civil rico case in a reliable district against all the individuals and entities violating this provision.
Like I said, civil Rico suit.

What would be the predicate offense?
