Judge Dismisses 14th Amendment Lawsuit Against Trump

The legal wins for former President Donald Trump continue to pile up

Obama-appointed judge tossed a case seeking to deny the Republican frontrunner access to the Florida ballot in 2024.

In a swift dismissal, Judge Robin Rosenberg ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring the case against Trump which alleged he violated the 14th Amendment by inciting a riot during the January 6, 2021 protests at the Capitol. Judge Rosenberg did not rule on the merits of the argument, instead concluding that Boynton Beach wise guy attorney Lawrence Caplan and two others lacked “standing” to bring the challenge.

“Plaintiffs lack standing to challenge Defendant’s qualifications for seeking the Presidency,” Rosenberg wrote, adding that “the injuries alleged” from the insurrection on Capitol Hill more than two years ago “are not cognizable and not particular to them.” She added “an individual citizen does not have standing to challenge whether another individual is qualified to hold public office.”
