Without Even Bothering With the Fig Leaf of a Trial, the Partisan Democrat Lunatic Maine Secretary of State Decrees, On Her Own Non-Existent Authority, That Trump is an Insurrectionist and Must Be Removed from the Primary Ballot

Hopefully we'll soon see a lawsuit and that the Supreme Court takes up this matter immediately and adds it to the Colorado election-rigging.

The left are insurrectionists and must be prosecuted as such.

Ed Morrissey, who then quotes the Washington Post:

In Maine, Democrats didn't even bother with a judicial pretense. Also yesterday, Maine's secretary of state Shenna Bellows barred Trump from appearing on the ballot after she decreed Trump an insurrectionist based on three challenges from registered voters. Bellows held a hearing two weeks prior to take testimony, and deduced Trump's guilt without any trial or judicial involvement at all:

"The events of January 6, 2021 were unprecedented and tragic," Bellows wrote in Thursday's decision. "They were an attack not only upon the Capitol and government officials, but also an attack on the rule of law. The evidence here demonstrates that they occurred at the behest of, and with the knowledge and support of, the outgoing President. The U.S. Constitution does not tolerate an assault on the foundations of our government, and [Maine law] requires me to act in response."

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said Trump would quickly appeal the Maine decision.

"Democrats in blue states are recklessly and un-Constitutionally suspending the civil rights of the American voters by attempting to summarily remove President Trump's name from the ballot," Cheung said in a statement. "Make no mistake, these partisan election interference efforts are a hostile assault on American democracy."

Morrissey points out that sec. 3 was created specifically to bar Confederate soldiers from running for office. The judges in Colorado, and now this fruitbat Maine operative, just blow this off and decide that they will stretch the definition of the Confederacy.

He also points out that the law directs Congress, not the Colorado Supreme Court nor the Maine Secretary of State, to create legislation to address this. Congress has not in fact done this.
