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.
Voters brought their case over Trump's behavior on January 6, 2021, when he allegedly violated the anti-insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.

And this judge also strongly believes that illegals should be rank higher and receive all benefits rather than the citizens in the Crook county!
Hey Chi towners! You voted for this moron

Cook County is corrupt and has been for years. It encompasses all of Chicago, it being the county seat. When there are mayors like Raccoon Lady and a worse mayor in Brando Johnson ( can you believe it?). Of course, this judge is from the same slime pool.

What "Voters" filed the suit? How many of them?
How are they even impacted if all they have to do is Vote against him?
Why make the ruling for the entire state instead of just Cook County?
If Cook county refuses to have him on the ballot...Cook counties vote can be declared invalid, not counted, and Trump might well win Illinois .
or if Illinois refuses to have him on the Ballot...they can have their "electors" hence their elections declared invalid and recognition by congress refused...meaning Bidens electors from the state are disallowed. And Trump wins the national election in a walk.
I find it perplexing..Trump WAS the Ruling Govt, how can the ruling govt be charged with overthrowing the ruling Govt?
Also... the "rule" would only apply IF CONVICTED of such a crime...he has never been charged with that crime, let alone convicted of it.
If the judges are claiming that legal actions taken BEFORE a potential incoming Govt can become an actual govt is an Insurrection...then THEM trying to block Trump from ascending to office is by their own definition..."an Insurrection".
This isn't a "New" thing...Democrats in Ten "Insurrection" States, barred Republican Abraham Lincoln from their ballots as well.

Didn't the Supreme Court consider a similar case recently? President Trump hasn't been charged much less convicted of being in an insurrection. So this violates his Fifth Amendment rights.

Yup just like that with no trial, no evidence, no witnesses, no defense, nothing, by a county judge.
This is beneath banana republic levels of corruption, bias, abuse of power, idiocy and as anti-democratic as it can e.

That judge doesn’t expect to win. But he does expect to tie up Trump’s lawyers (and Trump’s money) until SCOTUS tells him to pound sand.

Proving, once again (as #4 said) that Cook County is as crooked as they come.
I wonder.... Zero is from that general neck of the woods, and won his election to the Senate by getting his popular rival kicked off the ballot on a technicality..... did he have his greasy mitts in this little operation?

This leftist Democrat judge is obviously attempting to make a name for herself in leftist Democrat political circles. Who knows Biden might even nominate her to be a Federal District or Appeals Court Judge In return for her act of partisan political loyalty.

Why are so very many People going over board in a effort to keep the "N" word so viable...I'd rather it be stricken from memory but there are those like this judge, Maxine Waters, etal that prove by their actions that it'll never fade form existence.

Death by a thousand cuts. Tie up Trump's time and money until the election.
I hope all these crooked judges and lawyers realize that they will have to account for their actions someday, if not in this life, then the next.

Take Joe Biden off the ballot, for opening the border and putting our entire country at risk from disease, terrorists, murders and rapists, children being sold to sex slavery, drugs and more! If anyone deserves to be removed it is Biden, and while we're at it, IMPEACH the sob!

Illinois and especially Chicago are in major debt to the point that it's a sucking chest wound and they are going to need much help from the Trump administration to recover. This is not a smart move but what do you expect from democrats embedded in the woodwork like termites for decades. Ship them a few more busloads, Governor Abbot, they obviously have too much free time on their hands.

She's just signaling to Chicago's powers that be that she is corrupt and can be bought. In Chicago, that's called a good career move.

The SC needs to stop sitting on their hands and issue a ruling on this now. Republican voters in Illinois are being disenfranchised by some pisant liberal judge who thinks he’s God.

The Chicago mayor is borrowing $1.5 billion to build ghettos for da people. A city already deep in debt plans to borrow money to build ghettos for illegals, er the people of Chicago. What a pathetic situation those folks are in. And just when you thought Chicago couldn't go any lower. I wonder what the people who were planning to vote Trump have to say to this honorless judge?

Old Joe Kennedy must be turning in his grave. Instead of bribing Illinois with a pile of money to tip the 1960 election, he could have just kicked Nixon off the ballot.

Another case of Democrat "Election Interference," eh? The Leftist controlled MSM will point to this and gasp, "See! See! Another State finds him unqualified to run for President!" Does our Constitution ANYWHERE say that a State Supreme Court Judge, or much less a Circuit Court Judge, have the authority to determine who can run for Federal Office? No. The U.S. Supreme Court will strike this down 9-0.
The Democrats are the Party of "Insurrection," "Election Interference," and of foreign "Collusion."

A primary doesn't determine the Presidency. Such a challenge would only be valid in preventing him from being sworn in, which no state judge has the ability to do.
And last time I checked, the GOP and its voters constitute a private entity. As such, it can nominate whoever the hell it wants.

Don't dare remove Biden from the primary. The only thing he's got going for him, is that the DeepState steals elections for him at Obama's behest. They'll do it again, too. Hopefully our side has figured out how to stop them.

blacks, with a very few notable exceptions, occupy the leftmost side of the Bell Curve. As such, they are particularly susceptible to the false promises of collectivist ideologies, such as socialism, communism, exotic religions, etc. Jonestown comes to mind as one example. Being an Affirmative Action graduate of a leftist law school and passing the bar in a democrat-controlled state is not indicative of high intelligence.

So when are Republican states going to start removing far left democrat congresscritters off of ballots because of their actions during the 2020 "mostly peaceful" riots, looting and arson?

Until these judges pay some very stiff criminal punishment when they knowingly violate the constitution like this, they will keep it up. These judges, and their lawmaker counterparts, need to pay. The problem is, who could be responsible enough to make fair decisions? I only know a few people I would trust, and they sure as heck aren't lawyers.

Is there something in the water these days to make so many judges in Blue States insane? Or it could be as prophesied in the bible, countless numbers of demons will be unleased in the Last Days. How else can you explain Trump Derangement Syndrome?

The tiresome, dismissive, bandwagon meme of "Oh well, you voted for this," is like saying, "Biden is in the Whitehouse because everyone on L.com voted for him; enjoy the suck." If one looks closely, there are good Americans, even in bad American cities, counties, and states. Chicago, Cook County, Illinois's war dead are well represented in our National Cemeteries. Same for LA, Los Angeles County, California and NYC, its five boroughs/counties, New York.

You’ll know which way America is heading by whether Trump’s name appears on the ballot or not. If Trump’s name is NOT on the ballot then the Communists/Marxists have prevailed and sooner or later you can kiss your freedoms goodbye because THATS WHO THE COMMIES ARE. AND you can then enjoy your UNCONTROLLED ILLEGALS, your BUG MEALS and your windmills. AND NO GAS STOVES FOR YOU.

They are stirring up total chaos. In the end, what the media reports is what will be "true".
Only Divine intervention will save us, and I don't rule that out.
