Democrats move to take Trump off the ballot

[Zorro!]

Do they realize that is in no way legal or constitutional? They want to take him off the ballot for not doing something there is no legal requirement for him to do good luck with that.

A few things you have wrong...

We do not yet know if it is legal or constitutional. Signature requirements are not listed in the Constitution yet they are legal.

He is not on the ballot, so he cannot be taken off. The ballot has not yet been set.

If they pass the law, there will then be a legal requirement.

Why are Blue States afraid to put Trump before their voters? Why do they want an opportunity to steal their voter's choice?

You guys claim you want no impediments to voting, what good is the right to vote if you can't vote for a major nominee, or EVEN the flippin' INCUMBENT?!?

Many on the Right have theorized that as the totalitarian Left realized that they could not win elections that they would attack the electoral process. I have held out against this, but, it looks like it is coming to pass.

They are not afrid to put Trump before their voters, this is a cheesy way to try and get his tax returns.

Every state has rules that limits who can be on the ballot, this is not a new thing. Nobody ever whined before.

Point us to the prior case where a State refused to put an INCUMBENT PRESIDENT on the ballot.

That's by Constitutional Amendment, not independent State action.

Really? What about:

Williams v. Rhodes

Jenness v. Fortson

Bullock v. Carter

Storer v. Brown

American Party v. White

Lubin v. Panish

Illinois Elections Bd. v. Socialist Workers Party

Anderson v. Celebrezze

Munro v. Socialist Workers Party

Norman v. Reed

and

Burdick v. Takushi?

It seems to me that restricting ballot access has been challenged fairly regularly. You thought you could try to keep an incumbent president off the ballot and not have it challenged? That's dream world stuff.

States move to require all presidential candidates to release taxes

If you cannot beat him. Block him. The Left have lost their mind.

Bills requiring prospective presidential candidates to disclose recent tax returns as a condition to appear on the ballot are currently pending in the following fourteen states: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. Similar legislation, introduced this year, failed in Maryland, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Virginia.

Despite a few exceptions, nearly all of the state bills that have been introduced would require candidates to post at least five years of their individual tax returns. In addition, virtually every state bill has been introduced by a Democratic lawmaker, an apparent reaction to Trump's decision to buck decades of tradition during the 2016 election cycle when he refused to release his tax returns.

I agree that this is undemocratic and stinks to high heaven! But what does Trump have to hide? Every other candidate has released their tax returns.

What are you hiding? Is it OK if you and your family have their private records searched? Your home?

Odd that many the Democrats demanding Trump's records keep their own secret.

This is not NAZI Germany. We have a Bill of Rights in America.

President Trump should be left off the ballot until his birth certificate can be verified as valid.

Sure they did because they wanted to. No one forced them to release tax returns.

Hell. I wouldn't show anyone my tax returns and I'd bet you wouldn't either.

Tax returns are private and no one should be forced to show them to anyone. President or citizen.

I still don't understand what you gain from seeing them.

again? didn't we flog this last week?

1) it doesn't keep him off the ballot at all. he would simply next election, if this passes, have to show his taxes.
2) while i think it's done to attack trump or keep stupid fights alive, at least it is a proper step into changing the law / requirements vs. WAH SHOW ME NOW!!!
3) don't see why it's a big deal. it still has to pass and when done, show taxes or don't run.

his call.

til then i wish the dems would SFTU with all the WAH SHOW ME NOW crap.

The Democrats have a victory strategy after all.

With the Clown Car of candidates they've got running, they're going to need to cheat.

Trump stated many times during the campaign that he would release his IRS returns.

Trump has yet to do that which demonstrates Trump is a LIAR.

It is no secrete that Trump is a 'serial liar' and besides that point, why is Trump hiding his IRS returns when so many other candidates are coming forth to voluntarily put theirs out there for the press?

What is pussy grabber, liar Trump afraid of & what is he hiding?

Why should ANY state desire to have such a lying & deceitful candidate on the ballot?

All Trump has to do is to release his IRS returns like he ALREADY promised to do, years ago.

Really, even if a couple of blue locked states, like California or Maryland, passed these bills, Donald could easily choose to not seek a ballot spot in those states. There's already zero chance of a state so blue that it passes a bill like this of going red in 2020.

Because it is not the law. What do you want to see in those returns? I am sorry you don’t like women. Please don’t tattle on me again.

 

[S.J.]

State law does not trump federal law. He doesn't have to release them and blocking him from the ballot would be unconstitutional.
