According to a recent report by the reference news network, citing the U.S. Capitol Hill**, a judge in Illinois, the United States, recently removed the former Trump from the state's ballot on the grounds of the "insurgency ban" in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which makes Illinois the third state to try to remove Trump from the ballot. According to the report, Cook County, Illinois, Judge Tracy Porter recently issued a lengthy ruling, ordering the state election commission to remove Trump from the Illinois primary in March. Enforcement of the ruling will be delayed until early March to allow Trump's legal team to appeal to an Illinois court, the report said.
The judge held that because of Trump's involvement in the "insurrection" of the "Capitol Hill riot" in January 2021, the Illinois electoral body must "remove Trump" from the state's primary election under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which is the "insurrectionist ban."
The Insurgency Prohibition "prohibits those who have taken an oath of support for the U.S. Constitution and then joined in the rebellion." Previously, Colorado and Maine banned Trump from their respective primaries under the article, and Trump objected and appealed. The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing Trump's candidacy** case and agreeing to hear Trump's immunity case.
Things have to start from the beginning of 2021, after the 2020 US election, the then ** Trump refused to admit defeat to his Democratic opponent Biden, and repeatedly claimed that there was large-scale election fraud. In early January 2021, during the certification of election results by the U.S. Congress, a large number of Trump supporters violently broke into the Capitol, causing the "Capitol Hill riot". The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives then accused Trump of "sedition," while the Republican-controlled Senate did not approve of this. Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits federal, state, and local** federal, state, and local** sworn members of the U.S. Constitution from public office if they intervene in an "insurrection or insurrection."
This law was introduced after the American Civil War and was originally intended to prevent those who had served in the Confederacy from running for federal office after the war. This provision has rarely been applied in practice in the history of the United States. During the nearly two-hour oral argument, the officials of the Supreme Court repeatedly questioned and discussed the basis of the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling, Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Part of the debate focused on whether Colorado has the authority to decide whether a candidate is eligible to run.
Last December, Colorado was the first state to ban Mr. Trump's run, followed by Maine. The Colorado Supreme Court declared Trump ineligible to re-enter the White House last December, the first time a court invoked the insurrection clause to disqualify a former ** from running. Earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court heard Colorado's argument over the ballot removal dispute. In this case, Trump argues that what happened in January is not an "insurrection." In oral arguments in Washington, the judges seemed ready to side with Trump. Both liberal and conservative justices have questioned whether the Colorado Supreme Court has the authority to exclude Trump for his involvement in the insurrection.
Trump campaign spokesman called the court's ruling "unconstitutional" and vowed to appeal. "The fake organization of the Democratic Party, funded by George Soros, a Hungarian-born celebrity investor, continues its efforts to interfere with the election and strip Trump** of his legitimate right to vote. "Mr. Trump has appealed the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court cast doubt on Colorado's ruling earlier this month. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh questioned whether voters would be judged to have a "suffrage-disenfranchisement effect" if they were not allowed to decide for themselves whether they wanted Trump to serve as **.
The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing an appeal against Trump's eligibility to run**. The Supreme Court is the final appellate court of the U.S. judicial system, with the power to review and overturn lower court decisions, and is also the final interpreter of the Constitution, and its decisions are considered conclusive. U.S. legal analysts pointed out that if the U.S. Supreme Court supports the Chroma Supreme Court's ruling, it means that it agrees with Trump's participation in the "insurrection" and can no longer hold public office according to the "insurgency ban", and Trump's campaign and prospects for being re-elected to the United States will suffer a heavy blow; If the ruling is overturned, then the efforts of Colorado and other states to "delist" Trump will basically come to an end.
Former U.S. Trump recently warned that if he can't return to the White House, the U.S. is doomed to collapse. Of course, this is not the first time he has made similar remarks, and the market reaction has been to laugh it off. Trump said at a campaign rally: "If we lose, the U.S. stock market will suffer an incredible collapse." He added that his failure would trigger a "crash that investors have never experienced in their lives." But analysts point out that there is no evidence to support Trump's claims, that Trump is just a campaign, and that the campaign has done little to drive the market boom.
Both Trump and Biden, as the most popular candidates in the United States, will face more targets and attacks. The battle between the two parties will be even more intense, and Trump's judicial dispute and Biden's ** crisis will be key factors affecting whether they will be able to run or not. If they fail to properly address these issues, the consequences will be unpredictable. For Biden, the recent turmoil will not only affect his image and credibility in power, but will also accelerate his pace into the "post-era". Biden's governance is likely to be affected to some extent, and his plan to boost approval ratings through political initiatives will also face significant obstacles.
Nikki Haley, the Republican candidate and former U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations, said in South Carolina, where she was governor, "I refuse to leave the election. She also refused to support former Donald Trump to re-enter the White House. In an interview with the Associated Press, Haley said that even if she loses the Republican primary in South Carolina again this month, she will continue to compete with Trump, at least until after Super Tuesday, when 16 states and American Samoa hold their primaries at the same time in early March. On the reason for insisting on not withdrawing from the election, Haley has repeatedly reiterated that Trump and even Democratic current **Joseph Biden should not be the only choice for voters.
If Trump is overthrown due to legal woes, the idea that Haley could be a candidate for the Republican National Convention is wishful thinking. In the absence of Trump, the former ** deputies may decide to support a completely different person who has never been on the campaign trail during the primaries. At this stage of the campaign, Haley is unlikely to get more delegate votes than Trump, especially after Republican rules changed and many states transitioned to a winner-takes-all system of delegates.
John Fortier, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, told USA Today: "I think it's going to be hard for her to get more rep support, it's terrible."
The struggle between Trump and Biden will be even more intense, and the contradictions and contests between the two sides will be dizzying. Trump's judicial turmoil may become the finishing touch that affects his political career, and Biden**'s turmoil will also affect his ruling image and future development. The storm in the United States not only challenges the fate of the two political giants, but also tests the resilience and stability of the entire country's political system. Both Trump and Biden are struggling in the whirlpool of political turmoil, and their fate will depend on the final outcome of this storm. Who will win the next ** throne has become an open question.
