John Dean, a former White House counsel to Richard Nixon, said on CNN’s \u201cOutFront\u201d that former President Donald Trump was in \u201ctrouble.\u201d This was because of Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) who recently ruled that former president Donald Trump was \u201cnot qualified to hold the office of the President under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment\u201d and therefore will not be on the state\u2019s ballot.<\/p>\n
Erica Hill, who was a guest host on the show, went into explaining how, in a free and fair election, Biden and the Democrats actually do not trust the American voter. \u201cWhen we look at this perhaps not surprisingly we heard frequently from the Trump campaign slamming this decision saying in part, \u2018Biden and the Democrats simply do not trust the American voter in a free and fair election,\u2019\u201d said Hill, adding: \u201cWe\u2019re hearing this, hey, leave it up to the voters to decide. Put somebody on the ballot and they\u2019ll tell you whether they should be in office or not.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then Dean started talking about how we already know that they like to ignore the Constitution, and how he thinks that the Maine decision is very solid, and how It was fully briefed. \u201cThere is ample due process in this proceeding. And they just lost by a straight, honest reading of the 14th Amendment. Trump is in trouble. He\u2019s in trouble wherever this is raised and addressed,\u201d said Dean, adding that the Supreme Court is going to have to weigh in on it and that he wants to see those strict constructionists\u00a0 get around that language. Then he asked himself how are they going to do it, and said: \u201cI don\u2019t know. It looks so applicable Erica,” reported Breitbart<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know what they can do with it other than take him off the ballot,\u201d he then concluded. As the legal complexities surrounding Maine’s decision unfold, the Trump campaign’s criticism echoes concerns about trust in the democratic process. Dean’s assessment of the solid grounding of the Maine ruling and the impending involvement of the Supreme Court point to a pivotal legal battle ahead.<\/p>\n The question remains whether the strict constructionists can navigate the constitutional nuances, leaving the nation in anticipation of whether Trump will run for president in the 2024 election, and how this unprecedented challenge will shape the future of politics in the United States. So Donald Trump is in trouble indeed as Dean says, but it remains to be seen what the Supreme Court will decide on if he is eligible to run for the 2024 election or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" John Dean, a former White House counsel to Richard Nixon, said on CNN’s \u201cOutFront\u201d that former President Donald Trump was in \u201ctrouble.\u201d This was because of Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) who recently ruled that former president Donald Trump was \u201cnot qualified to hold the office of the President under Section 3 of … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":33999,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","masonry-post","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendingviews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendingviews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendingviews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendingviews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendingviews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/trendingviews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendingviews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendingviews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendingviews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendingviews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
