JUST IN: Oregon Supreme Court Won’t Remove Trump From 2024 Ballot
The Oregon Supreme Court on Friday declined to hear a request to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot based on the 14th Amendment.
The legal theories are based on Section 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment which states public officials who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the US may be disqualified from public office.
Trump has not been charged with engaging in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.
The Free Speech For People, a far-left group, filed the lawsuit with the Oregon Supreme Court to bar Trump from the 2024 ballot.
“The Oregon Supreme Court on Friday declined to hear a bid to remove former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot based on the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban,” saying it’s waiting for the US Supreme Court to rule on the issue,” CNN reported.
