You’ve probably heard by now that a woman from Chalmette filed suit against Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin at the 19th Judicial District Court in Baton Rouge seeking to bump Donald Trump off the ballot.

Louisiana has become the latest state asked to judge whether Donald Trump should be on their ballot, after a woman from the New Orleans suburbs filed a law suit echoing those filed in multiple other states.

It’s the same suit that was filed successfully in Colorado – that somehow Trump is an insurrectionist and so the 14th Amendment bars him from running for president.

Analysts are split on whether the legal arguments around Article 14 and Trump’s actions are sound.

But Robert Collins, a political analyst at Dillard University, told Fox News he thought Reeb’s petition was ‘a very long shot.’

He pointed out that Trump has been impeached and faces federal trial for trying to subvert the election, but has not been criminally convicted.

‘It might be a different situation if he had been criminally convicted in a court of law of insurrection,’ he said.

‘To make an interpretation that a president had engaged in insurrection, and to remove him from the ballot, I think most judges ideologically are just not there.’

LSU political science professor James Stoner agreed that the lack of a conviction likely undermines the petition.

‘The whole meaning of the rule of law is that a prosecutor can’t just jail you because he thinks you’ve done something wrong,’ Stoner said.

‘That’s only the first step. The prosecutor makes the charge and then it has to go to trial. That’s what happened with the Trump impeachment. The impeachment is a prosecution, but he was not convicted of those offenses.’

To date, no other court has sided with those who have filed dozens of lawsuits to disqualify Trump under Section 3, nor has any election official been willing to remove him from the ballot unilaterally without a court order.

On Wednesday, a court in Michigan ruled that Trump could remain on the ballot – effectively giving the opposite decision to the Colorado judges.

This suit is stupid and a waste of time. There are a couple of judges at the 19th JDC who might not toss it immediately, but at the appellate level it’s dead in the water.

So who is this person who filed this thing?

Her name is Ashley Reeb, and she’s exactly who you’d expect her to be.

She’s a member of the St. Bernard Parish Democrat Executive Committee, and she’s a committed neocommunist. The Twitter profile says it all…

Pronouns and Black Lives Matter, because of course she does.

Our St. Bernard Parish folks tell us she flies a transgender flag at her house, though when Google last made a pass onto her street it was a BLM flag (we think?) instead…

It doesn’t appear the Reebs are big into the climate change theory, though – not with those two gas-guzzlers in the driveway. But you can always tell the real crazies by the panoply of bumper stickers dirtying up their windshields.

Here’s the thing: you don’t even need to get into the merits of this dumb lawsuit, not that there are any, because the case has to be thrown out of court on the basis of standing. Ashley Reeb is not a qualified elector in Louisiana’s 2024 Republican presidential primary, because she’s not a Republican. That primary is a closed GOP affair, and as such the only people who can sue on the basis of whether a candidate is eligible or not would be Republicans.

Not that there aren’t lots of other reasons this is nonsense. Stoner, the LSU poli sci professor, was exactly right when he noted that Trump has not been convicted of insurrection, which basic due process rights would require him to be in order to take him off the ballot anywhere. Colorado’s Supreme Court forgot that obvious truth, but the U.S. Supreme Court will soon remind them of it.

We all know what this is. This is somebody who is pathologically obsessed with radical left-wing politics as a crutch for an unsuccessful, barren personal life and who hates the society she lives in – and as such is now attempting to use the judicial system as a means of performative emoting.

This is her 15 minutes of fame.

It obviously won’t end well, and most of us will spot it for the pathetic attention-whoring that it is. We’ve all dealt with people just like this, most of us are sick and tired of putting up with them, in Louisiana they’ve just been made utterly and completely irrelevant in the fall’s elections and now we’re going to have to listen to endless sky-screaming about state politics as well as national from them.

Until we decide not to.

Anyway, now you know who’s the plaintiff in this stupid lawsuit, and you are surely not surprised.
