Last night a judge in Illinois ruled that Trump’s name should be removed from their election ballots because of January 6th.
The judge stayed her own decision until later this month to give Trump time to appeal the decision, according to NBC News:
An Illinois judge ruled Wednesday that former President Donald Trump should be taken off the ballot for the state’s primary election, citing the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Cook County Circuit Court Judge Tracie R. Porter put her order on pause in anticipation of an appeal. The primary is March 19.
Porter’s ruling said that “based on engaging in insurrection on January 6, 2021, … his name should be removed from the ballot.”
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung bashed the ruling in a statement, arguing it was “unconstitutional” and saying it would be appealed. He also lashed out at Porter, calling her an “activist Democrat judge.” The Trump campaign also began trying to raise money off of the decision shortly after it was filed.
A group of five petitioners asked the state to remove Trump from the primary ballot on Jan. 4, the day he submitted filings to appear on the ballot, Porter wrote in her ruling. The petitioners also asked the Cook County Circuit Court for judicial review of the matter.
It’s been revealed this morning that this fascist judge has been nothing more than a traffic court judge since 2021:
This is nothing more than a two-bit judge who wants to make a name for herself in left-wing circles by trying to create pain for Trump. That’s it. And she did this knowing that the Supreme Court has taken the case and her ruling won’t matter as soon as they rule. What a garbage person.
