Oregon's top court said it would wait until the U.S. Supreme Court acts.
The Oregon Supreme Court on Friday declined to hear a 14th Amendment-related case to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's ballots, saying it will wait for a U.S. Supreme Court decision before taking any action.
Because the U.S. Supreme Court took up an appeal of a decision handed down last month by the Colorado Supreme Court to block President Trump from appearing on state ballots, the Oregon Supreme Court noted that the arguments presented in the court decision "Are identical to some arguments advanced by" the voters.
The U.S. Supreme Court said last week that it would review the Colorado Supreme Court decision.
"Oregon's presidential primary ballots must be finalized by March 21, 2024. Because a decision by the United States Supreme Court regarding the Fourteenth Amendment issue may resolve one or more contentions that [the voters] make in the Oregon proceeding, the Oregon Supreme Court denied their petition for mandamus, by order, but without prejudice to their ability to file a new petition seeking resolution of any issue that may remain following a decision by the United States Supreme Court," the Oregon Supreme Court wrote Friday.
In California, District Judge David Carter granted a motion to dismiss a lawsuit against President Trump "With prejudice," which means that it can't be submitted to the same court again, according to court papers filed in January.
Ahead of the U.S. Supreme Court appeal, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said that "Unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat-appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group's scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump's name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice."
