Federal judge halts legal challenge to Madison Cawthorn's candidacy

A federal judge on Friday blocked a legal challenge to Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s (R-N.C.) candidacy filed over allegations he helped spur the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hill.
Richard Myers, a Trump-appointed federal judge in the eastern district of North Carolina, approved Cawthorn’s request for a preliminary injunction to the challenge to his reelection bid.
Eleven North Carolina voters filed the suit to the State Board of Elections in January, arguing that Cawthorn’s comments in the speech shortly before the insurrection violate the 14th Amendment, which states in part that no person “who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress ... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.”
Cawthorn the next month sued to have the effort dismissed, leading to his win Friday. However, the State Board of Elections could appeal Myers’ decision.

He should be allowed to run but I don't like the dude at all regardless of his position on the political spectrum.

So for now the courts have prevented us from having a Guardian Council like Iran where all candidates for political office must be approved by ayatollahs before they are allowed to stand for election.
For now.
For now.

The left has already defined unpopular speech critical of government as insurrection.
If allowed to stand there would never be anyone but communist elected. This is exactly how the CCP, Soviet Union and many other countries control who is in the legislature.
