Trump faces ballot challenge in Illinois minutes after filing his petitions Objectors say he’s disqualified under 14th Amendment for role in Jan. 6 Capitol riots

By Peter Hancock

Capitol News Illinois phancock@capitolnewsillinois.com

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois is now among the growing list of states in which former President Donald Trump will have to fight to have his name appear on the 2024 election ballots.

A group of five voters filed a joint objection to Trump’s candidacy Thursday, arguing that Trump should be disqualified under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits anyone who took part in an insurrection against the United States from holding federal office.

The objection alleges that Trump’s attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 elections, including his involvement in events leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, amounted to an insurrection.

“Consequently, Donald J. Trump is disqualified from, and ineligible to hold, the office of President of the United States,” the objection states. “Accordingly, his nomination papers are invalid under Illinois law because when Trump swore he was ‘qualified’ for the presidential office, as required by (state statute), he did so falsely.”

Thursday was the first day for presidential candidates to file petitions for the March 19 primary ballot. According to the Illinois State Board of Elections’ website, the Trump campaign filed its petitions at 8 a.m., along with fellow Republican

candidates Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and Texas businessman Ryan L. Binkley.

On the Democratic side, President Joe Biden’s campaign filed petitions, along with Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson.

As of Thursday evening, Trump was the only candidate facing an objection. The deadline for filing objections is Friday, Jan. 12.

Similar objections have been filed in multiple other states. So far, however, they have only been upheld in Colorado and Maine. The Trump campaign has filed appeals in both of those cases, including a direct appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court in the Colorado case.

Matthew Piers, a Chicago-based attorney who filed the Illinois objection, said in an interview that the cases highlight the differences in election laws among the various states.

In some states, he said, primary elections are considered operations of political parties, not the states themselves, and therefore are not subject to rules set by the state. But in Illinois, he said, state law specifically requires candidates to state on their nominating petitions that they are qualified for the office they are seeking.

Article II of the U.S. Constitution requires presidents to be “natural born citizens” who are at least 35 years of age and who have been residents of the United States for at least 14 years.

But the 14th amendment – enacted in the aftermath of the Civil War – adds more conditions, barring any former public officials who previously took an oath to

support the Constitution from holding certain public offices in the future if they ever engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States or gave aid or comfort to its enemies.

The objection cites numerous other government agencies and officials who have concluded that the events of Jan. 6, 2021, were an insurrection, including decisions of the Colorado Supreme Court and the Maine secretary of state to keep Trump’s name off the ballot in those states.

The objection also cites several recent court rulings, including some involving people convicted of crimes stemming from the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol.

In an email, Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy said the state party is neutral in the GOP primary but that the issue of Trump’s candidacy should be decided by voters.

“This attempt to remove President Trump from the ballot without due process is an anti-democracy attempt to limit the voting rights of Illinois citizens and should be dismissed outright,” Tracy said.

Legal challenges to a candidate’s qualifications for office are not uncommon in Illinois. Dozens of them are currently pending at the Illinois State Board of Elections against candidates for the General Assembly and various judicial positions, mostly based on claims that petition signatures were invalid or insufficient.

In 2016, a challenge was filed against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton based on her petition signatures.

And in 2012, Democratic President Barack Obama faced three nearly identical challenges to his candidacy based on false allegations about his citizenship.

State Board of Elections spokesman Matt Dietrich said in an email the objection to Trump’s candidacy will be investigated by a hearing officer who will make a recommendation to the board’s general counsel.

The full, eight-member bipartisan board will consider the challenge at a meeting Tuesday, Jan. 30.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Boeing jetliner that suffered an inflight blowout over Oregon was not being used for flights to Hawaii after a warning light that could have indicated a pressurization problem lit up on three different flights, a federal official said Sunday.

Alaska Airlines decided to restrict the aircraft from long flights over water so the plane “could return very quickly to an airport” if the warning light reappeared, said Jennifer Homendy, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board.

Homendy cautioned that the pressurization light might be unrelated to Friday’s incident in which a plug covering an unused exit door blew off the Boeing 737 Max 9 as it cruised about three miles (4.8 kilometers) over Oregon.

The warning light came on during three previous flights: on Dec. 7, Jan. 3 and Jan. 4 — the day before the door plug broke off. Homendy said she didn’t have all the details regarding the Dec. 7 incident but specified the light came on during a flight on Jan. 3 and on Jan. 4 after the plane had landed.

The NTSB said the lost door plug was found Sunday near Portland, Oregon, by a school teacher — for now, known only as Bob — who discovered it in his backyard and sent two photos to the safety board. Investigators will examine the plug, which is 26 by 48 inches (66 by 121 centimeters) and weighs 63 pounds (28.5 kilograms), for signs of how it broke free.

Investigators will not have the benefit of hearing what was going on in the cockpit during the flight. The cockpit voice recorder — one of two so-called black boxes — recorded over the flight’s sounds after two hours, Homendy said.

At a news conference Sunday night, Homendy provided new details about the chaotic scene that unfolded on the plane.

The explosive rush of air damaged several rows of seats and pulled insulation from the walls. The cockpit door flew open and banged into a lavatory door.

The force ripped the headset off the co-pilot and the captain lost part of her headset. A quick reference checklist kept within easy reach of the pilots flew out of the open cockpit, Homendy said.

The plane made it back to Portland, however, and none of the 171 passengers and six crew members was seriously injured.

Hours after the incident, the FAA ordered the grounding of 171 of the 218 Max 9s in operation, including all those used by Alaska Airlines and United Airlines, until they can be inspected.

The airlines were still waiting Sunday for details about how to do the inspections.

Alaska Airlines, which has 65 Max 9s, and United, with 79, are the only U.S. airlines to fly that particular model of Boeing’s workhorse 737. United said it was waiting for Boeing to issue a “multi-operator message,” which is a service bulletin used when multiple airlines need to perform similar work on a particular type of plane.

Boeing was working on the bulletin but had not yet submitted it to the FAA for review and approval, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Producing a detailed, technical bulletin frequently takes a couple days, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe a matter that the company and regulators have not publicly discussed.

Boeing declined to comment.

Without some of their planes, cancellations began to mount at the two carriers. Alaska Airlines said it canceled 170 flights — more than one-fifth of its schedule — by mid-afternoon on the West Coast because of the groundings, while United had scrapped about 180 flights while salvaging others by finding different planes.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington, chair of the Senate’s Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, said she agreed with the decision to ground the Max 9s.

“Aviation production has to meet a gold standard, including quality control inspections and strong FAA oversight,” she said in a statement.

Before the discovery of the missing plug, the NTSB had pleaded with residents in an area west of Portland called Cedar Hills to be on the lookout for the object.

On Sunday, people scoured dense thickets wedged between busy roads and a light rail train station. Adam Pirkle said he rode 14 miles (22 kilometers) through the overgrowth on his bicycle.

“I’ve been looking at the flight track, I was looking at the winds,” he said. “I’ve been trying to focus on wooded areas.”

Before the school teacher named Bob found the missing door plug, searchers located two cell phones that appeared to

have belonged to passengers on Friday’s terrifying flight. One was discovered in a yard, the other on the side of a road.

Both were turned over to the NTSB, which vowed to return them to their owners.

Alaska Airlines flight 1282 took off from Portland at 5:07 p.m. Friday for a two-hour trip to Ontario, California.

About six minutes later, the chunk of fuselage blew out as the plane was climbing at about 16,000 feet (4.8 kilometers).

One of the pilots declared an emergency and asked for clearance to descend to 10,000 feet (3 kilometers), where the air would be rich enough for passengers to breathe without oxygen masks.

Videos posted online by passengers showed a gaping hole where the paneledover door had been. They applauded when the plane landed safely about 13 minutes after the blowout. Firefighters came down the aisle, asking passengers to remain in their seats as they treated the injured.

It was extremely lucky that the airplane had not yet reached cruising altitude, when passengers and flight attendants might be walking around the cabin, Homendy said.

The aircraft involved rolled off the assembly line and received its certification two months ago, according to online FAA records. It had been on 145 flights since entering commercial service Nov. 11, said FlightRadar24, another tracking service. The flight from Portland was the aircraft’s third of the day.

The Max is the newest version of Boeing’s venerable 737, a twin-engine, single-aisle plane frequently used on U.S. domestic flights. The plane went into service in May 2017.

Two Max 8 jets crashed in 2018 and 2019, killing 346 people. All Max 8 and Max 9 planes were grounded worldwide for nearly two years until Boeing made changes to an automated flight control system implicated in the crashes.

The Max has been plagued by other issues, including manufacturing flaws, concern about overheating that led FAA to tell pilots to limit use of an anti-ice system, and a possible loose bolt in the rudder system. ___ Koenig reported from Dallas.

Gaza War

Israeli strike kills an elite Hezbollah commander in the latest escalation linked to the war in Gaza

By Kareem Chehayeb, Bassem Mroue, Wafaa Shurafa and Samy Magdy Associated Press

BEIRUT (AP) — An Israeli airstrike killed an elite Hezbollah commander Monday in southern Lebanon, the latest in an escalating exchange of strikes along the border that have raised fears of another Mideast war even as the fighting in Gaza exacts a mounting toll on civilians.

T he st r i k e on a n SU V k i l le d a commander in a secretive Hezbollah force that operates along the border, according to a Lebanese security official who spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with regulations. Hezbollah identified the slain fighter as Wissam al-Tawil without providing details.

He is the most senior militant in the armed group killed since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack into southern Israel triggered all-out war in Gaza and lower-intensity fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, which has escalated since an Israeli strike killed a senior Hamas leader last week in Beirut.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is back in the region this week, appears to be trying to head off a wider conflict.

Fighting continued in northern Gaza, even after Israel said it has largely wrapped up major operations there to now focus on the central region and the southern city of Khan Younis, where thousands more Palestinians fled.

Israeli officials say the fighting will continue for many more months as the army seeks to dismantle Hamas and return scores of hostages taken during the militants’ Oct. 7 attack.

The offensive has already killed over 23,000 Palestinians, devastated vast swaths of the Gaza Strip, displaced nearly 85% of its population of 2.3 million and left a quarter of its residents facing starvation.

‘SICKENING SCENES’ IN GAZA’S OVERWHELMED HOSPITALS

Medics, patients and displaced people fled from the main hospital in central Gaza as the fighting drew closer, witnesses said Monday. Losing the facility would be another major blow to a health system shattered by three months of war.

Doctors Without Borders and other aid groups withdrew from Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah in recent days,

saying it was too dangerous. That spread panic among people sheltering there, causing many to join the hundreds of thousands who have fled to the south of the besieged territory.

Tens of thousands of people have sought shelter in Gaza’s hospitals, which are struggling to treat dozens of people wounded each day in Israeli strikes.

Only 13 of Gaza’s 36 hospitals are even partially functioning, according to the U.N. humanitarian office.

Omar al-Darawi, an employee at the Al-Aqsa hospital, said the facility has been struck multiple times in recent days.

He said thousands of people left after the aid groups pulled out, while patients have been concentrated on one floor to be treated by the remaining doctors.

“We have large numbers of wounded who can’t move” he said. “They need special care, which is unavailable.”

More dead and wounded arrive each day as Israeli forces advance in central Gaza, backed by heavy airstrikes. Gaza’s Health Ministry said Monday that 249 Palestinians have been killed and 510 others were wounded across the territory in the last 24 hours.

World Health Organization staff who visited Sunday saw “sickening scenes of people of all ages being treated on bloodstreaked floors and in chaotic corridors,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the U.N. agency, said in a statement.

“The bloodbath in Gaza must end.”

Thousands more Palestinians fled Deir al-Balah and refugee camps in central Gaza, heading south along the coastal road to an area known as Muwasi, on the outskirts of Rafah at Gaza’s southern end, where already more than 1 million people have crowded.

The U.N. children’s agency UNICEF warned that 90% of Gaza’s children under 2 were consuming only bread and milk, and that cases of diarrhea were skyrocketing.

“As the threat of famine intensifies, hundreds of thousands more young children could soon be severely malnourished, with some at risk of death. We cannot allow that to happen,” said Catherine Russell, UNICEF’s executive director.

DIRE CONDITIONS IN THE ISOLATED NORTH

The situation is even more dire in

northern Gaza, which Israeli forces cut off from the rest of the territory in late October.

Entire neighborhoods have been demolished, and most of the population has fled. Tens of thousands who remain face severe shortages of food and water. The WHO said late Sunday it has been unable to deliver supplies to northern Gaza in 12 days because of heavy bombardment and the inability to guarantee safe passage with the Israeli military.

Even there, Israel still battles what it describes as pockets of militants.

An airstrike early Sunday flattened a four-story home filled with displaced people in the urban Jabaliya refugee camp, killing at least 70, including women and children, according to Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesman for Gaza’s civil defense. There was no immediate confirmation from the Health Ministry, which has struggled to maintain its operations in the north.

Search efforts were still underway Monday. Civil defense officials circulated a graphic video showing the aftermath, with several bodies scattered amid the rubble.

Jabaliya, which was built for Palestinian refugees from the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation and is now a dense, built-up neighborhood, has seen weeks of heavy fighting.

More than 23,000 Palestinians have been killed, about two-thirds of them women and children, and more than 58,000 wounded, since the war began, according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza. The death toll does not distinguish between combatants and civilians.

Israel blames Hamas for civilian casualties because the group operates in populated residential areas, but the military almost never comments on the intended target in strikes that kill large numbers of civilians. The military says it has killed some 8,000 militants, without providing evidence, and says 176 of its own soldiers have been killed in the offensive.

SEEKING TO HEAD OFF A WIDER WAR

Blinken, who was meeting leaders in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia on Monday after talks in Jordan and Qatar, once again spoke of the need

for Israel to adjust its military operations to minimize harm to civilians and allow more aid into the territory.

But his main focus appeared to be preventing the war from spreading.

A Hezbollah rocket barrage hit a sensitive air traffic base in northern Israel on Saturday in one of the biggest attacks in three months of fighting. The militant group said was an “initial response” to the killing of Hamas’ deputy political leader Saleh Arouri in Beirut last week.

So far, both sides have sought to limit the fighting.

Hezbollah appears wary of risking an all-out war that would bring massive destruction to Lebanon. Israeli leaders say their patience is wearing thin and that if the tensions cannot be resolved through diplomacy, they are prepared to go to war. They have expressed particular concern about the Radwan Force, the elite Hezbollah unit in which al-Tawil was a commander, which operates along the border.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, visiting troops near the border, vowed to “do everything” possible to return “security to the north.”

“We prefer that this be done without a wider campaign, but that won’t stop us,” he said.

Hezbollah began firing rockets shortly after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, saying it aimed to ease pressure on Gaza. Hamas and other militants killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel that day, mostly civilians, and took some 250 people hostage, over 100 of whom were released during a cease-fire in November.

On the Lebanese side, nearly 200 have been killed in exchanges with Israel, mostly fighters but also 20 civilians. In Israel, five civilians and 12 soldiers have been killed along the Lebanese border and more than 150 injured. Tens of thousands of people on both sides of the border have been driven from their homes. ___ Shurafa reported from Deir al-Balah, Gaza Strip, and Magdy from Cairo.

2024 Garden Resolutions

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

While your New Year’s resolutions may be focused on health, wellness, and finances, garden resolutions can be a great one to consider. Each year, I think about resolutions that can be made to my garden such as new vegetables/varieties I would like to try out, perennial plants that could find a home in di�erent beds, and other actions that could become daily habits for a better gardening experience.

What I like about garden resolutions are that they can be simple actions I can take before my season begins. I also can stretch them into the growing season.

Before I get to my 2024 resolutions, let me tell you about my 2023 garden. I tried out new varieties of tomatoes like ‘Bu�alo Sun’ and ‘Oregon Spring’ to add to my yearly mixture of ‘Valencia’, ‘Sungold’, and ‘Cherokee Purple’. As we mostly eat fresh tomatoes, these additions did not provide the flavor we were expecting for our cooking needs. So they won’t be added back to the garden. I also grew ‘Magic Molly’ a purple potato that I first grew in 2020 and was really pleased with how it performs and cooks. I grew a lot of eggplant as that is one of the main crops my family likes to eat and cook, specifically the Thai varieties. Sadly like others,

I had drought conditions that severely impacted my pumpkins, cucumbers, and squashes with complete loss.

My 2024 garden resolutions are a mix of management and new additions. I am going to focus again on pumpkins and better manage these varieties. I also need to reduce the amount of vegetable plants I grow each year as found that it was an imbalance when it came to our family’s needs. In the fall of 2023, I added 3 new ‘Carmine Jewel’ cherry bushes and will need to work on managing them in the spring. Finally, the weeds took over much more of the season than I would have liked and need to do a better job with

them this year.

I could go on and on with my garden resolutions for 2024 and you may be in a similar position. With the expected snowfall this week, you may see yourself indoors looking through seed catalogs and beginning that list. I know that I need to go through my seed packers of 2023 and determine what I need more of for 2024. So this is a perfect time to be reflecting on the garden of 2023 and envisioning what the garden of 2024 will bring for you.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Growth of renewable energy

BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL

ILLINOIS RENEWABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION CONTRIBUTORS

We developed an interest in solar energy because we had seen and toured energy e�cient homes which in some cases were primarily heated with solar.

As a result, we had our home insulated and began burning wood from dead and fallen limbs in our woodland. Now we primarily burn wood for heat and have a propane gas furnace as a backup.

We also installed insulation in a former small animal barn and outfitted the building with a wood burning stove and solar electricity to provide DC power for lights and a radio. While our intent was to provide a comfortable space if we lost grid power we later turned it into a classroom for wind and solar classes.

At the time the solar vision included the potential of releasing hydrogen via electrolysis to provide fuel to power the economy.

We were asked to create the Illinois Renewable Energ y Association and held Energy Fairs until the arrival of COVID cancelled them. Interest in the Energy Fair also dwindled as fracking for oil gained traction and the media lost interest in the possibility of peak oil. Still, we continued our e�orts to encourage energy e�ciency and the use of cleaner energy sources. Our interest in environmental issues remains as does our work to preserve and restore natural areas including Sand Ridge.

But the renewable energy industry has grown substantially and major firms have emerged to promote their acceptance and gain government support.

Beyond the support, a growing group of skeptics about the ability of renewable energy sources being capable of meeting existing and future energy demands of the global economy exists. They remind us that renewable energy at the current stage of development remains dependent

on fossil fuels. But they also point out that all energy sources and our economy remain dependent on fossil fuels. They believe as low cost oil resources become less available the economy will shrink to a lower level.

Despite the concerns of skeptics, renewable energy sources continue to gain acceptance. The latest report from the Sun Day Campaign states that Final 2023 EIA and FERC Reports underscore solar energy’s continued rapid expansion; it is the largest source of new generating capacity and the fastest growing source of electricity; it generates more than hydropower and will soon overtake wind capacity. But it still remains a small part of total U.S. generating production. In order to meet climate change goals, there must be much faster growth by solar and all other renewable energy sources.

According to Ken Bossong, Executive Director of the Sun Day Campaign, solar is leading the nation’s transition away from

nuclear power and fossil fuels. However, their relatively small share of the nation’s total energy production and consumption indicates how much more growth in renewable energy sources must occur to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Both federal and state incentives remain in place. Illinois residents continue to use and expand renewable energy sources. We continue to encourage individuals and building owners to improve the e�ciency with which they use energy and consider having solar systems installed on their properties as a way to gain some energy independence security and stable energy prices.

Energ y remains essential for all human activities. While global competition for supplies remains intense, the adverse environmental impacts from its consumption have not been adequately addressed.
