It’s not just Trump: Democrats are moving to bar Republicans from ballots nationwide

As the decisions disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the 2024 election work their way through the courts, a new filing in Pennsylvania seeks the same ballot cleansing by barring Republican Rep. Scott Perry.

It s only the latest effort targeting congressional candidates as Democrats seek to bar opponents as insurrectionists for questioning the election of President Biden.

We have become a nation of Madame Defarges  eagerly knitting names of those to be subject to arbitrary justice.

Former congressional candidate Gene Stilp, who s made headlines by burning MAGA flags with swastikas outside courthouses, filed the challenge.

Using the 14th Amendment to disqualify candidates like Perry is consistent with Stilp s signature flag-burning stunts.

SCOTUS will shut this nonsense down, not least because they have to.
