The 6th Cir. declines to take up RFKj's attempt to take his name off the Michigan ballot en banc. Several judges wrote opinions, including this one from Judge Clay calling Judges' Thapar and Readler's and RFKj's argument "completely fraudulent." www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf...

CLAY, Circuit Judge, concurring in the denial of rehearing en banc. Plaintiff Robert F.
Kennedy, Jr. and our dissenting colleagues would have us believe that Plaintiff’s First
Amendment rights are being trampled upon by the decision of the Michigan Secretary of State to
decline to remove Plaintiff’s name from Michigan’s presidential ballot—notwithstanding the fact
that doing so at this late stage would disrupt the orderly conduct of the presidential election in
Michigan. Plaintiff and our dissenting colleagues argue that requiring Plaintiff’s name to remain
on the ballot is violative of Plaintiff’s First Amendment rights because doing so falsely conveys
that Plaintiff wishes to put himself forward as a presidential candidate and wishes, if elected, to
serve as President of the United States. The argument is completely fraudulent, and lacks any
connection to the protection of Plaintiff’s First Amendment rights.

Thapar's opinion is best read as his audition piece for the next SCOTUS seat in a second Trump term

Still not seeing a first amendment right. Wondering if Thapar would consider not allowing certain people to vote is also deemed a potential first amendment violation.

On the other site, he's saying Putin is wonderful because, unlike the eeeeevil Democrats, he didn't take the opposition's name off the ballot. He's such a turd.
