In the court filing, Castro argues Trump violated the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which bars anyone who engaged in or provided aid or comfort to an insurrection from holding office.
They’re not smart enough to do that.
My guess is that they’ll try to get it tossed on the grounds that he’s also running for President and this is a conflict of interest.
I think a lawsuit like this would have a much better chance of success if it were being filed by a secretary of state, an AG, or some other offical that doesn’t have direct skin in the game.
Doesn’t that show he’s actively being damaged by Trump’s running tho and this has standing? The recourse he’s asking for is directly in line with that reasoning.
I didn’t say it would make sense. I’m just saying that’s what they’re probably going to go with.
