MA Supreme Court Denies Removing Trump From Primary Ballot

Massachusetts is the latest State, to Reject a Bid to Remove Trump from the Republican Primary Ballot.

A Three-Jude Panel from the Supreme Judicial Court, Rejected a Petition Monday, that sought a Decision on Trump's Eligibility. The Organization Free Speech For People and Massachusetts Law Firm Lichten and Liss-Riordan filed the Appeal last week, arguing that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution Bars Trump from Holding Office.

Justice Frank M. Gaziano's Opinion stated, that the Issue of Trump's Eligibility is Not "ripe", because he has Not yet been Officially Declared the Republican Presidential Nominee. He added that the Provision of the Constitution does Not apply to Trump's position on the Primary Ballot, because He did Not get on the Ballot through the Submission of Nomination Papers or any Certificate of Nomination.

"The petitioners' objections have, in essence, come too soon," Gaziano ruled. "If there is any question whether the commission has the authority or jurisdiction to consider the petitioners' objections regarding Trump's eligibility to appear on the general election ballot, that question will not become ripe until, and if, he is selected as his party's nominee for president."

Gaziano also noted that Trump's Eligibility under the Fourteenth Amendment will soon be before the U.S. Supreme Court. The High Court agreed to take up the Decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to Bar Trump from the Primary Ballot earlier this month.

As I read Section 3 of the 14th Admendment:

I think President is indicated in Section 3. Officer of the U.S. covers President, Vice-President, and Cabinet Members.

A Primary or Caucuses dosen't Elect a President, that is the General Election that Trump can't be a Candidste.

How to implement Section Three:

- Prevent a State Legislature from selecting Someone to a State position.

- Prevent a Governor from selecting Someone to a Temperary position until the Next or Special Election.

- Prevent a Governor from putting Someone on the General Election Ballot.
