Cuckold Review: Republicans Have a Sacred Duty to Rewrite Ohio State Law to Put Joe Biden on the Ballot

And also -- if they don't rush to do this, they're terrible hypocrites about "lawfare" and every bit as bad as Alvin Bragg and and Jack Smith.

This is National Review, everyone. America's Conservative Beacon.

The Democratic National Convention does not conclude until August 22, when Joe Biden is formally renominated for president. When the Democrats announced they were scheduling their convention so late in the election cycle, observers immediately noted that the timing fell afoul of two deadlines written into law, those of Alabama and Ohio, which require nominees to be submitted 90 days before Election Day (in other words, the week of August 12).
The matter can be easily fixed; all a legislature need do is pass a technical bill adjusting the date, as legislatures have done frequently in both the past and present, most recently in 2020 during the pandemic. And in fact, one month ago the -- overwhelmingly Republican -- Alabama legislature acted to do just that, sending a bill to Governor Kay Ivey that made sure Joe Biden's name would not be stricken from their voters' ballots.
Ohio's state house, however, has been disconcertingly mulish about acting to fix the state's version of this problem. It adjourned once on May 8, and then again on May 22, without addressing the matter. Republican governor Mike DeWine has now called for a special session of the legislature to convene in order to deal with the issue, saying, "Ohio is running out of time to get Joe Biden, the sitting president of the United States, on the ballot this fall. Failing to do so is simply not acceptable. This is a ridiculous -- this is an absurd situation."
We agree with Governor DeWine --

Redundant! As if National Review ever has to tell you it agrees with ultra-liberal fake Republican Mike DeWine.

Ohio's legislature should pass a bill ensuring the president of the United States' name remains on the ballot this November. We emphasize that this is a matter of the utmost gravity. It is not -- and cannot possibly ever be -- about cheap and temporary partisan advantage. It is a question about the fundamental legitimacy of American elections.

Here they masturbate themselves into ecstatic froth:

Even more appallingly, were Ohio Republicans to deny Biden a spot on November's ballot out of pointless spite, they would be undermining every single argument they -- and Donald Trump -- have been making for the past several years about how government is weaponized against Republicans.

National Review is a Democrat op. Has been for 20 years.

Alex the Chick is a bit miffed:

Reality. That is a duly enacted state law that has existed since July, 2010. That is nearly 14 years. This is not obscure. This is not unknown. It is, literally, the state law of Ohio. It is not something that those dastardly Republicans dreamt up just now to screw Biden.
Sanity. It is guano ingesting, mercury nitrate hat wearing, lead paint munching insane to act as if the Republicans have any control, at all, whatsoever, in any possible way, for when the Democrat convention is held. It is unhinged to place the blame on Republicans.
Principle. This is excreting fecal matter directly onto the legal concept of strict constectionism. Applying the law as written is not twisting the law to attempt to get Trump. Every single person at NRO who thinks these are the same is either lying, stupid, or both.
I will type this slowly. Either the Editors at NRO believe that statutes should be applied as written or they do not. It is that simple. It is the Editors who are undermining the rule of law here with this absolutely lunatic editorial.
That editorial is embarrassing to read. It is a simple matter to state look the law says what it does. It has also been exempted in the past. Such exemption should be granted again, even though doing so undermines basic principles of statutory construction, due to realpolitik.

This ludicrous nonsense? This hystetical ninnyism? This blaming the Republicans for something that the Democrats did? Respect your own intelligence at the very least. Because that does not respect mine. Have a pterodactyal. /fin pic.twitter.com/n069pMNZb6

This wasn't some disaster or bad luck or something that might - but only might - indicate that exceptions should be made. This was a known deadline and the Democrats *chose* to miss it.

Wasn't it during the 2008 primary season that two or three state-level DNC orgs couldn't get their shit together and ran afoul of the same sort of thing? And oh...everyone just had to bend over backwards to accomodate. Not like it was completely avoidable.

One has to wonder where the National Review came down on the handful of states trying to keep Trump off the ballot as well.

I would agree. The problem is, most people are ignorant of the law, and their only expose is if they're on a jury (or get fined or ticketed). So if a judge tells them they can, as Ace so eloquently put it, "Choose Your Own Adventure" verdict, it will probably happen. That the judge excluded defense witnesses and inverted the order of closing statements is lost on them.

Rich Lowry has a lot of do with the degradation of NR with his corporate class donors coming first over any principles. Buckley started the deterioration post Cold War by purging people he did not like politically but Lowry finished the project.

During the 90's, NR spiraled downward in terms of being relevant as the interesting voices were snipped off one by one or retired. The Corner, as devised by Andrew Breitbart, was the false new dawn of the NR. Quickly, the new voices rapidly became scab encrusted whores for GOPe and its deranged version of American Greatness.

The point of this is not to create a valid conviction and prison sentence.

The point is to get a photo of Trump in handcuffs and a jumpsuit so they can run the 'Convicted Felon!' playbook.

Whatever happens in ten months to reverse that conviction is irrelevant, and would in fact allow them to claim that 'the system works.'

Umm, doesn't the DNC control its dates/times of elections and its convention? Why is it the concern of the RNC to clean up DNC and Democrat screw-ups? How the hell is it of "utmost gravity" when it cannot concern itself with making and following it's own GD procedures?

The untold story is that during the general session of the OH legislature, they were going to change the law for Biden's benefit but the GOP legislators added an amendment banning foreign money being used in state constitutional and referenda elections. The Dems went apeshit and killed the bill. Foreign money was very important to the Dems to get and pass the liberal abortion amendment to the Ohio Constitution.

My guess is that is also why the Dems on Capitol Hill have suddenly abandoned Jewish US donors for Ham Ass. They are getting Arab money from Qatar and other places like Iran through intermediaries like Omidyar.

Ohio didn't do some backroom judicial or legislative deal to exclude Biden, the DNC just ignored the rules. That's on the DNC, not on Ohio.

But I'm honestly asking, if you were fully convinced Trump's campaign screwed up and somehow got disqualified by a Dem Secretary of State, you wouldn't complain?

Has that ever happened in the last 100 years? Over a technicality like the date of the convention?

What the Dems are doing to Trump on some level is hurting Biden, the public sees it as illegitimate. If Republicans are able to disqualify Biden from showing up on a ballot, this all looks "fair" because "both sides" do it.

I'm all for smash mouth poltics, but not allowing someone even on the ballot looks illegitimate. Just liek it did with Maine and Colorado.

265 There are people my age who decry the 3 point shot in basketball. It's not tradition, it's a gimmick, it rewards a small skill set at the expense of a team game, etc. But it's the rule and it's the way the game is played. There's nothing virtuous in losing while not having your team take 3 pointers. It's just bad coaching to give up that weapon when the opponents are using it.

Anyway, I hope a basketball analogy has dumbed it down to where TrueCon, Inc. can understand.

Not really though. "Rule of law" seems very selective.
Paying off a mistress is not a legitimate business expense. He's of course being singled out because he's Donald Trump, but if you do get caught committing $100k plus of tax fraud, it's not "nothing". Nobody here supports what NY is doing (including me) but that is the "rule of law".

307 Story out today that the Dem's are going to give in and "virtually" nominate Biden and Kamala sometime in the next 6 weeks. They've got to change some party rules to do it, but it means that the Convention is really for nothing, the nominations will already be over by then.

The only real effect it will have, besides getting on the Ohio ballot, is that it will now be completely impossible to replace Biden at the Convention. It's just going to be (they hope) a rowdy party.

I don't think anyone is particularly anti-gay other than recognizing and pointing out truth about it in regards to abuse, disease, etc. I guess that could be seen as "anti," though.

Posted by: Bel Air

You are remarkably stupid. The specified misdemeanors are quite actually not applicable due to statute of limitations so they were bootstrapped via fictitious NY state statute (which requires the act(s) to have affected state elections and not federal) or federal FECA violations which NY state cannot prosecute period as FEC has jurisdiction, not NY state.

Taxes were paid via Cohen and his income tax so it was not tax fraud either.

Criminal laws like this require a jury finding of intent. The difficulty in proving intent in complicated cases is why the feds and state prosecutors often rely on collateral actions such as simple possession of proscribed items (drugs, firearms, etc.) or something like lying/obstruction by destroying evidence etc. to govt agents.

Novel construction of statutes regarding 'honest work' is why Scotus overturned Jeffrey Skilling's conviction on that charge as did Conrad Black.

Va Gov McDonnell was another victim of lawfare where Scotus reversed.

It is so Joe doesn't have to call his various fly in jet out "official visits" in key swing demographic areas(not actually meeting with many people, but making the evening News and Papers) "Campaign related" and pay his "Fair Share" of the costs...he isn't "Officially Running" because he hasn't been nominated yet, so the Taxpayers foot the entire Bill. Even though he constantly braggs about receiving Record Setting donations, he isn't spending his own funds, instead he is spending YOURS.
In other words...it's yet another Grift, and the Dems expect Ohio/Alabama to change long existing Laws/Rules to cover for THEIR OWN decisions to avoid campaign reporting deadlines and compensation rules.

"Our body politics is infected and, ex parte, unreservedly accepted by Trump styled antagonists obliging his conquest to reorganize this Republic's social milieu.

450 Jill Biden, Ed.D.: "We can have my husband, who is calm and steady and strong and has character and integrity..."

451 Nuther question...since the Repub and Den Conventions are specifically "Nominating Conventions" and both receive $MILLLIONS in govt funds, IF Biden is already "Officially/Legally" nominated by proxy/online voting, can that money be witheld? Clawed back? Can a "Good Govt Group" file suit and at least make headlines from such a case?

453 Biden took foreign emollients, therefor, he is constitutionally forbidden from being on any states ballot, THAT is sacred duty.
