An Illinois state judge has kicked former President Donald Trump off the Illinois' Republican presidential primary ballot due to his alleged role in the January 6 Capitol riots.
Cook County Circuit Judge Tracie Porter ruled in favor of Illinois voters who argued Trump should be disqualified from the state's mid-March primary ballot, as well as the November 5 general election ballot.
...
The legal arguments to ban him from the ballot largely revolve around a novel application of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution that depends significantly upon whether or not the January 6 riots can be defined as an insurrection.
The US Supreme Court has taken up the question after a court in Colorado attempted to do the same thing - the judicial body is expected to make a decision on the matter soon.
...
The judge wrote in her ruling that she 'realizes the magnitude of this decision and its impact on the upcoming primary Illinois elections.'
'The Illinois State Board of Election shall remove Donald J. Trump from the ballot for the General Primary Election on March 19, 2024, or cause any votes cast for him to be suppressed.
...
Porter removed Trump from the ballot one month after the same challenge was dismissed by the Illinois State Board of Elections - a bipartisan body that unanimously voted to throw out the case because they claimed not to have jurisdiction over the matter.
...
Nicholas Nelson, one of Trump's lawyers said that January 6th can best be described as a 'political riot.' He said it was an angry mob much more so than an organized group with a series of specific legal aims.
'It was about one government act, and thereโs no indication that the rioters had any plan. They were just angry,' he said.

” a ‘political riot.’ “
Actually it was a government invasion of the Capitol.
Just ask the FIB.

Anyone notice that these ballot issues are only in "safe" blue states where democrats claim to have their strongest support?

Cook County Circuit Judge Tracie Porter
A county judge can now order a Presidential candidate ‘disqualified’. What’s next, a municipal judge kicking him off the ballot?

So “a role” so they wouldn’t have to say Trump was arrested, indicted and convicted and lost in appeals. As that did not happen.
Old: voters decide on nominees qualified for ballot by parties or petition.
New: Voters allowed to choose the Leftist elite approved candidate from ones that will result in Leftist victory.

And when did this judge, or anyone, convict him of a crime? Is the judge saying he doesn't have to be convicted to be denied due process?
The Dems are going to go to great lengths to destroy what remains of this nation...

Insurrection in the 14th amendment related to two uniformed armies fighting numerous battles, and where probably 2+ million soldiers were involved and 600,000 died from wounds or disease. On January 6 unarmed protestors went into the Capitol and only one unarmed protestor was killed by a Capitol Police officer who was not charged but promoted.

The people going after President Trump seem to all have the same thing in common.
