Kennedy has announced he will appeal the decision.

Attorney Robert Barnes breaks down why the Democratic National Committee’s lawfare against RFK Jr. in New York is baseless and “frivolous” in 7 minutes:

Here are some of the key quotes from Robert Barnes:

“They use ballot control in Russia, Venezuela, Iran to keep out dissidents. America does it worse than all three of those countries combined.

The Democratic Party’s new challenge is, the people who signed RFK’s petition, that their signatures can’t count simply because Kennedy was listed as a New York resident on those petitions. I don’t understand how the court’s even hearing this.

The Democratic Party has no idea the doors they’re opening in this selective lawfare against Robert Kennedy.

The substantive claim against Kennedy is ludicrous. An honest court would have already dismissed this on jurisdiction grounds, if not the substantive grounds.

Your domicile is not where you physically live every day. Legal domicile is a state of mind. It has always been a state of mind.

There are people who have moved from New York, in one case to Florida, got their voter registration in Florida, got their driver’s license in Florida, paid tax as a Florida resident, and yet the state of New York said: ‘No, no, you’re still legally domiciled here in New York.’ The reason is their business was based in New York and their occupational license was in New York.

In Robert Kennedy’s case, he’s maintained an ongoing legal residence in New York from the time he was 10 years old. Registered to vote always in New York. Driver’s license in New York. His voting history, all in New York. He’s been paying New York income taxes all this time. And his law license is a New York law license. By all of New York’s precedent, he is a legally domiciled resident in New York.

They’re arguing residency issues that are specific to residency, not domicile. Domicile does not equal residency, residency does not equal domicile. It is a legal state of mind that has historically looked at driver’s license, voter registration, tax payments, and your occupational license. All four say Kennedy is clearly a legally domiciled resident of New York.

This is a frivolous claim brought by a Democratic Party that just wants to engage in lawfare against Robert Kennedy to suppress dissidents from having independent access to the ballot so we, The People, can decide who we want to vote for.

RFK’s had to spend millions and millions of dollars and time in court, just like they did to Trump. Is it a coincidence they used the New York courts? New York courts are becoming a joke. They don’t recognize and respect the rule of law in New York.

“They’re not limiting it to Bobby Kennedy. They’re not limiting it to Donald Trump. They’re raiding Scott Ritter’s house. They’re … putting Tulsi Gabbard on a watchlist. This is way out of control.”
