Judge Robin Rosenberg, who was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2014, swiftly dismissed a case challenging Trump’s candidacy just a week after the lawsuit was filed.
The case, brought by Boynton Beach tax attorney Lawrence Caplan and two others, argued that Trump’s name should not be allowed to appear on the Florida presidential primary ballot next year because of his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Robinson told the plaintiffs on Friday that their case lacked standing to bring a challenge under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
It may require that Trump first be convicted in at least one of these cases before such a challenge could actually proceed in court— or that a judge would have the guts to hear it.
Indeed. First time I heard about it, it was clear: until you can remove the “allegedly” in front of Trump’s crimes, it’ll be very hard to prove.
