A Democrat activist in the state of Maine now is facing the possibility of being impeached and removed from office for her decision to remove President Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot.

Whether that decision stands remains to be seen, as Colorado pulled the same stunt a week ago and it's already been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which is expected by legal experts across the nation to review the decision.

The newest ruling came from Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, an activist who on her own decided to convict Trump of "insurrection" and then remove him from the ballot using an obscure constitutional amendment adopted after the Civil War.

Good riddance. Stupidity of this magnitude needs to be dealt with harshly.

I'm all for challenging candidates' eligibility to run, but unilateral choices like this aren't the way to go about it.

Challenging eligibility is fine, IF it's done legally. Can't use the 14th amendment if it doesn't apply.

Their argument is that the 14th doesn't describe what due process here is, even though it clearly does when it says Congress will decide.
