Louisiana joins list of states considering disqualifying Trump from primary ballot

Louisiana is the latest on a growing list of states considering removing former President Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot on the grounds of the 14th Amendment.

Ashley Reeb filed a lawsuit against Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin, demanding that Trump be removed from the ballot over his actions surrounding the Jan. 6 riot, WVUE-TV Fox 8 reported. The lawsuit was filed last week but first reported on Wednesday.

“Both Trump’s actions (engaging in insurrection) as well as his inaction (giving aid and comfort to insurrectionists) on Jan. 6, 2021, disqualify him from holding any office of/under the United States,” the lawsuit reads.

The argument is the same that has been filed in Michigan, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Florida, New Hampshire, Oregon, and other states. Colorado became the first state to rule in favor of the challenge following a stayed decision from the state's Supreme Court. The matter is now expected to go before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Trump has repeatedly denounced the efforts as election interference.

Maine just blocked him from the primary ballot.  Democrats, the guardians of democracy.   *****rollingeyes*****

That doesn't sound to me like Louisiana is considering doing it if they are being sued for not doing it.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

The usual Fifth and 14th Amendment objections apply. Trump has been convicted of no crime.

With note that if these people have communicated and coordinated in any way, this becomes a Conspiracy to Deprive someone of a Civil Right, a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights. Not only is this a criminal offense, but actionable in Civil Court as well.

There may be some ugly Democrat puppies on the way.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

It'll backfire in Louisiana.  That state is that red, even with the recent anomaly of the governorship.
