My gut reaction was to remove this, but this tidbit was interesting: ’ It doesn’t say “convict.” It doesn’t say “convicted” or “impeached.” ’
The judge clearly states that she does not care about innocent until proven guilty.
Reading the actual decision was enlightening just how of a kangaroo court, with such beauties as
“This delay does not amount to a Due Process violation. There is no requirement under the APA that evidence be shared prior to an administrative hearing” and “I am not bound by either the federal or Maine rules of evidence because this an APA hearing”
And she’s the one who decided it was an APA hearing, when she issued the notice.

False. There is no judge.

Sorry, you’re right. Maine’s Secretary of state clearly states that she does not care about innocent until proven guilty.

It clearly shows a banana republic mentality.
The reason the confederates didn’t need a conviction was they split from the country.
I don’t think trump is guilty of an insurrection. I also think as the 14th amendment states, this is a a power of congress.
