This asshole had less than half the required signatures needed to get on the ballot. So, he just went to a liberal judge who makes his own rules and cheated. Simple as that. These are the people running our lives. Since when do judges get to decide which laws they follow or not? Looks like this judge took a cue from Obama. Just uphold what suits you and ignore what gets in your way. The average person would never get away with this shit, but politicians really do think they are above all the laws that they make.

The decision came hours after Michigans Secretary of State declined to put him on the ballot.
