Trump must be thrown off Michigan’s 2024 ballot, suit argues
Former President Donald Trump should be ineligible to appear on either of Michigan’s 2024 ballots due to his involvement with the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol, according to a lawsuit filed in the Michigan Court of Claims Friday.
Former President Donald Trump should be ineligible to appear on either of Michigan’s 2024 ballots due to his involvement with the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol, according to a lawsuit filed in the Michigan Court of Claims Friday.
The suit hinges on the concept that Trump, during his 2020 re-election campaign – and afterwards, when it became apparent he lost the contest to now-President Joe Biden – engaged in insurrection and should be legally barred from holding office again under a section of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Why the fuck isn't every democrat saying this every time a microphone in their face? Trump is disqualified under the 14th amendment. This narrative should be pushed by every single person in public office who doesn't want to see fascism return.
I'm a layperson, this is (mostly) from Legal Eagle.
14A has never been implemented or tested in a court of law. Currently there is no legal mechanism or precedent law to prevent a person from running for office, and trying to set a precedent right now is dangerous because of the right-leaning justice system.
The oligarchs won’t let them.
