"He's not king. I didn't vote for him." -- Monte Python
Donald Trump cannot be eliminated from an election ballot because he is exempt from the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
So say some lawyers who support the former president.
If that be true, then he is also exempt from the laws of libel, and perhaps also other laws dealing with financial behavior.
Granted, the two are different, but the strategy is the same, to decide which has priority: State laws or federal.
Opinion: This is a move by the judge to boot the case to the appeals process and ultimately to the Supreme Court.
