Congressional Republicans — and even some Democrats — are slamming the Maine secretary of state’s decision blocking former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential ballot.

Secretary of State Shenna Bellows ruled Thursday that Trump is ineligible to return to the White House under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies anyone from holding office if they broke an oath by engaging in or supporting an insurrection or rebellion.

The ruling follows a decision earlier this month by the Colorado Supreme Court that also booted Trump from that state’s ballot. Challenges in several other states have rejected claims Trump should be removed.

The Colorado ruling is on hold pending an appeal, and the Trump campaign vowed to appeal the Maine decision as well. The matter is expected to end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Like they did following the Colorado ruling, Republican lawmakers quickly voiced their outrage about the Maine ruling, calling it undemocratic.

“Maine voters should decide who wins the election – not a Secretary of State chosen by the Legislature,” Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Collins’ opinion was echoed by many of her GOP colleagues, including Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, who called the Maine and Colorado rulings “absurd and abusive attempts” by activists “to silence Americans.”

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., called Bellows’ ruling an “egregious abuse of power” and said he will introduce legislation “to stop these partisan officials and ensure any constitutional challenge is only decided by the U.S. Supreme Court."

Barrasso urged the Supreme Court to overturn the decisions, while Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., called on “Everyone—including Democrats” to “condemn this unAmerican stunt.”

Some Democrats, however, argued that Bellows’ ruling was justified.

“The text of the 14th Amendment is crystal clear: anyone who participates in insurrection is permanently barred from public office,” Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., posted on X. “Donald trump incited a violent riot to overthrow American democracy. Of course he should be banned from the presidency forever.”

Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Maine, agreed.

“On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to block Congress from certifying the Electoral College + overturn the 2020 presidential election,” she wrote on X. “Our Constitution is the very bedrock of America and our laws and it appears Trump’s actions are prohibited by the Constitution.”

But some Democrats argued, at least for now, against removing Trump, who is currently the front-runner for the Republican nomination.

In a statement, Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, noted that he voted to impeach Trump and does not want him to return to the presidency, but added, “we are a nation of laws, therefore until he is actually found guilty of the crime of insurrection, he should be allowed on the ballot.”

And Marianne Williamson, a long shot candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, said she does not believe secretaries of state should unilaterally decide Trump’s eligibility, adding she thinks “it’s equally undemocratic that (Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn.) and myself are kept off ballots due to Secretaries of State doing the bidding of the DNC.”

Trump currently faces four criminal trials, two of which focus on his efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election. He has not been charged with insurrection.
