California lt. governor seeks to remove Trump from primary ballot

[Rotadom]

Following the ruling by Colorado's Supreme Court that said Donald Trump is ineligible for the state's presidential primary, California's lieutenant governor is calling to have him removed from the ballot here.

"Based on the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling… I urge you to explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California's 2024 presidential primary ballot," Kounalakis wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Shirley Weber that was released Wednesday.

"California must stand on the right side of history," Kounalakis's letter said. "The constitution is clear: you must be 35 years old and not be an insurrectionist" to be president of the United States.

Time is short to make a decision. Weber must announce the certified list of candidates on Dec. 28. The California presidential primary is March 5, 2024.

Trump's team criticized the Colorado ruling and said it would appeal to the Supreme Court.

"This ruling, issued by the Colorado Supreme Court, attacks the very heart of this nation’s democracy. It will not stand, and we trust that the Supreme Court will reverse this unconstitutional order," Trump legal spokeswoman Alina Habba said Tuesday.

Keep spending that right wing war chest, donnie.

Honestly, if I were a Republican, I'm not sure I'd want my money being spent in California anyway. He's got as much chance there as the Dems do in Wyoming.

This lady also said “the Constitution is clear...” To qualify for the presidency “you have to be 40 years old…”

As a practical matter, Trump will be on the March 5th ballot in CA, and as others have correctly noted, it won’t mean a thing as far as the outcome of the GOP nominee selection process.

So I think I have this correct. If Trump wins, but his eligibility is challenged and he is found to be ineligible by the 14th amendment, it would then be his VP who would be sworn in?

My point with regard to the Lt. Governor of CA is that her letter to the Secretary of State is pointless. Trump’s name will be on the 3/5 ballot in CA, and the primary results in that deep blue state will have no impact on who the GOP selects as their presidential nominee.

So then you don't know the answer to my question. Ok, I'll see if someone else does.

No, I don’t know the answer to that far-fetched hypothetical question but did see an OpEd this morning in the WSJ written by someone who thinks they do know the answer to that. It’s paywalled but I can post a few snippets to give you the jist of their argument if you are interested. I have no pov on that question.

It's not far fetched, given how slowly court rulings move at, it could very well occur. ( it might even be after Trump is sworn in, but that would be really stretching the hypothetical)

Thanks,but I can go read that myself, but I do appreciate the offer!

Fair enough

 

[Pad_Foot]

So? How much evidence do you need that Trump went beyond the normal boundaries for election behavior??

How many phone calls did he make??

At what fucking point does America say ENOUGH is enough!! If the States don’t object, by exercising their rights to run their elections, how does the Supreme Court ever get involved??

Note!! The COURTS are part of the Government! Granted there are those who want to dismiss all the judges … and all the rest of the government! Shit! Some of Trumps buddies pride themselves on trying to pull down the whole government. To be replaced by a big fucking ignoramus? A financial GENIUS who opened 3 casinos in the same city to complete against himself… while laundering how much Mafia cash in the side???

Illegal homeless tranys have a much better grasp of the English language than you.

Lol

 

[cowboyup6977]

He’s the reason over 500,000 thousand people have fled this state and now a 68 million budget shortfall fall
I guess you’re proud of that
Cleaning up homeless only when the communist dictator from china came
Then it’s back to his normal
You must be proud of SF poop map
The whole city is covered
Please explain why you think he’s doing a good job
Now even Hollywood is leaving

Housing is too expensive in California. We need to build much more so people can afford to live here.

People are leaving because they can’t afford to live here anymore
No comment on the poop map

Yes. I read lots of OpEds reflecting all kinds of perspectives on all kinds of subjects
