Michigan's Supreme Court has ruled against petitioners seeking to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's 2024 primary ballot.
"Free Speech For People", a group who ostensibly filed the lawsuit on behalf of a group of Michigan voters, argued Section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars Trump for holding elected office - alleging Trump had lead an insurrection against the United States on January 6th, 2021.
Free Speech For People is a far-left group funded by George Soros's fund, the Rockefeller Family Fund, the climate alarmism lobby, and the Hamas-linked Tides Foundation.
Email address With dueling rulings from the Michigan and Colorado State Supreme Courts, the urgency for the United States Supreme Court to settle the matter has only increased.
It is expected the legal team for former President Trump will appeal the Colorado ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court this week.
Unlike Colorado, Michigan does not have a provision in their state election law requiring a presidential candidate to present their qualifications for holding office.
Michigan Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Welch wrote the petitioners "Have identified no analogous provision in the Michigan Election Law that requires someone seeking the office of President of the United States to attest to their legal qualification to hold the office." Prior to the state's Supreme Court order, the Michigan Court of Claims and Michigan Court of Appeals held: "At the moment, the only event about to occur is the presidential primary election. But as explained, whether Trump is disqualified is irrelevant to his placement on that particular ballot."
