The fight to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the North Carolina ballot has taken yet another turn.
Kennedy had lost the appeal, but the state Supreme Court in North Carolina came through.
So, as of now, Kennedy’s name will be removed from the ballot in the upcoming election.
Battleground States
This is a big deal in North Carolina because Kennedy is drawing from Trump while no longer in the election.
If Kennedy was still running, he would be fair game, but he withdrew with plenty of time, yet Dems are now fighting to keep him on the ballot, which goes against their calls for a “free and fair” election.
Keep in mind, these same people are fighting to have Jill Stein and Cornel West removed from the ballot, even though they are still running. That is, of course, because both candidates are drawing from Harris.
In announcing the decision, the majority stated, “We acknowledge that expediting the process of printing new ballots will require considerable time and effort by our election officials and significant expense to the State.
“But that is a price the North Carolina Constitution expects us to incur to protect voters’ fundamental right to vote their conscience and have that vote count.”
The funny thing about this is that the decision, like the decision that was just made by Michigan’s Supreme Court to keep Kennedy on the ballot, was predictable.
In North Carolina, the Supreme Court has a Republican majority lean, and in Michigan, the lean is Democrat.
So, per usual, we have ideology coming into play rather than the actual rule of law. Our benches have turned into activists, not jurists, and that is why nobody trusts our justice system any longer.
The same case, two different states with two different ideologies, two different outcomes.
That, my friends, is not how the law is supposed to work.
