Maine SoS: I Found Trump Guilty of Thing He Wasn’t Charged with Using a Lower Standard

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) responded to a question on the witnesses at the hearing before her ruling removing 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump from the ballot lacking any firsthand knowledge and her finding Trump guilty of fomenting an insurrection despite Special Counsel Jack Smith not charging Trump with that by stating that the proceeding was “different than a criminal proceeding in a criminal court. The standard is preponderance of the evidence.”

in other words it's a matter of personal opinion
protecting democracy, undemocratically

She looks like that married Tennessee cop that was fired for having sex with a bunch of her coworkers.

Absolutely no way this holds up on appeal, right? I mean... it simply can't.

Fascist Authoritarian, too blinded by her feelings to realize how this essentially destroys Rule of Law.

A question for any of you who actually graduated from law school, what does this even mean?

It’s weird how all of these state officials are now suddenly constitutional scholars !

To me, this is just for people to be able to use before it’s struck down by actual courts.
They’ll be able to say something like, “the Maine SOS said this and that.”
To which you can respond, “well that was struck down.”
Then ultimately they would respond with, “yea well she’s right and he’s a facist ya da ya da ya da…”
By then, the brainwashed have had their brains washed and onto the next bullshite. Rinse and repeat.

I barely know which part of this absurdity is most profound. To answer your question, there are three "standards of proof" in our legal system, preponderance of evidence being the lowest and used only to find civil liability. Next is "clear and convincing" which requires more than "preponderous", and lastly, the highest standard, used in finding criminal guilt is "beyond a reasonable doubt."
But, let's get back to this absolute madness of an absurdity we're all forced to suffer. To begin, the Secretary of State in Maine of any other state is not a finder-of-fact with any business weighing evidence. And that's just for starters.

There is no living with these people. A secessionist movement is the only hope for small government conservatives and libertarians. The United States of America is beyond saving.

It means we have a provision in our Constitution that is open to interpretations that sound unfair. Whether you support Trump or not, there some objective interpretation issues that need to be resolved.
As I wrote in another thread, I don't think it is fair to call a Constitutional Amendment "undemocratic." It was democratically passed by democratically elected representatives and Senators, and then democratically ratified by the states. It renders certain oath-breaking insurrectionists ineligible to hold state and federal offices.
SCOTUS will resolve this. Hopefully.

Do you feel good about your side doing this kind of thing?
I am curious if you people see this as a good strategy.
