A judge of Cook County said on Friday that it would decide late next week that Illinois’s fate of a legal challenge to attack the name of former President Donald Trump on March 19.
Judge Tracy Porter announced his plans after hearing a Daily Center of nearly four hours, which had footage of January 6, 2021, lawyers for Trump for Trump as an attack on the US Capital demanded the lawyers to challenge the former president, which was on the ballot as “a political attempt to misuse the Election Code of Illinois”.
Caryn Lederer, representing a group of voters supported by group -free speech for those who are objecting to Trump’s place on the ballot, said “this matter is not about politics.”
“The matter is about the candidate’s qualification,” he told Porter. “This is not an investigation into policy decisions.”
The issue has been appealed for last month’s decision by the State Board of Election, which rejects the attempt to disqualify Trump under the “rebel section” of the US Constitution, which was aimed at counting the counting of electoral college votes from those states who made the Democrats Joe Biden President.
Claus says that those who have taken an oath to maintain the constitution, “as an United States official,” will not be able to serve in Congress or will not be able to catch “any office, civil or military” if they are engaged in “rebellion or rebellion” against the Constitution.
In its 8–0 bipartisan vote, on 30 January, the Election Board allowed Trump’s name to be on the ballot and rejected an objection that he lied by signing a statement of “deliberate” candidature “that he was eligible to hold the office of the President.
Objectors took the decision to the state court, while at the same time the US Supreme Court consults a uniform “rebel section” challenge from Colorado, whose Supreme Court had cast 4-3 votes to disqualify Trump from the polling of the state.
The lawyers representing Trump in the Illinois case unsuccessfully demanded to stay in the appellate court of the circuit court proceedings. Lawyers from both sides say that regardless of the decision of Judge Porter, which they said that the case would come on Thursday or Friday, the case is in the Illinois Supreme Court.
Trump’s lawyer Adam Meril said, “The most understanding of the US Supreme Court rule is the most understandable.”
But Trump Objectors said the Election Board erased when it was stated that it was stopped from considering “constitutional” issues by the decisions of the previous state courts such as Trump’s qualification to hold office under the “rebellious section.”
“The reality is that the State Election Board is the place to determine whether January 6 was a rebellion or if Donald Trump was engaged in a rebellion,” Laderr said. “Our democracy was attacked on 6 January. There is no serious dispute that President Trump’s efforts to stop the transfer of power as a reason … to keep him in power and keep him as President.”
Trump’s lawyer Nicholas Nelson said the January 6 incidents were not in the legal sense and said that Trump refused to participate in a rebellion. He said, “It is not enough (that) a riot occurred for political reasons,” he said that the “major element” of the “and game” was missing from day -to -day events.
Porter asked whether there was a factor in concluding whether a rebellion took place. Trump’s lawyers admitted that it is.
Trump’s objections also argued that regardless of how the US could rule in the Supreme Court, the judge should address the decision of the Election Board that a candidate should “deliberately lie” about his ability on his statement of his candidature.
Trump Attorney Meril said that with the arrival of the primary date, the ballots have already been printed and “it is too late to change the ballot.” But Lader said that in the past, election officials have informed the voters whether a candidate is considered disqualified and those votes will not be counted.
