"Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Christopher Coury
dismissed lawsuits against U.S. Representatives Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs and state Representative Mark Finchem, a Republican from Oro Valley, finding private citizens cannot sue under the disqualification clause of the 14th Amendment.
“Congress has not created a civil private right of action to allow a citizen to enforce the Disqualification Clause by having a person declared to be ‘not qualified’ to hold public office,” Coury found. That duty, he said, lies only with Congress, which can remove a member of Congress with a two-thirds vote.
Arizona law also does not create a private right of action, Coury wrote.
“Although it creates a private right of action allowing citizens to bring independent actions to establish that a person has not met the requirements prescribed by law, the plain language of this statute does not create a private right of action to argue that a candidate is proscribed by law from holding office,” the ruling states."
