Summary

No surprise that as his primary grounds to overturn the Maine Secretary of State’s decision banning him from the ballot Trump has bashed her, and called her a partisan hack that is too bias to rule in his favor. Michael Popok of Legal AF walks you through the weaknesses in Trump’s several “I am not an insurrectionist under the 14th Amendment” arguments contained in his 9 page petition, and why Trump’s tired personal attacks on another woman and/or person of color authority figure will fail too.

This is Michael Popoc, legal AF right on cue.

0:02.4

Donald Trump has attacked the main Secretary of State,

0:05.3

Shenabellows, called her a partisan hack,

0:08.4

said that she's biased and should have recused herself

0:11.7

as the number one ground for why the main Superior Court in a

0:16.6

petition that Trump just filed that's all of nine pages arguing that the

0:22.1

decision by the main Secretary of State last week,

0:25.0

that based on her reading of main unique statutory provisions about who gets to be on the ballot

0:31.0

and who makes the decisions about who gets to be on the ballot and who makes the decisions about who gets to be on the

0:33.6

ballot that Donald Trump falsely claimed to be qualified for office when he has been

0:39.2

disqualified by being involved as an insurrectionist or a rebel against the Constitution

1:18.4

And it's the Secretary of States generally and certainly the State Houses of each state that make the decision what to do about the 14th

1:26.2

Amendment section 3. Because on its face it just says that anybody that engages an insurrection or

1:31.6

rebellion against the Constitution, right,
