Michigan Supreme Court Rules TRUMP Will Stay on State Ballot Despite Accusations of insurrection From Jan 6 Capitol Attack

Michigan is expected to be a key battleground state in the 2024 presidential election


The Guardian 28 DEC 2023





Donald Trump will remain on Michigan’s state ballot after a ruling from the Michigan supreme court on Wednesday, which upheld a lower court order.

The move sets the stage for the former president to participate in the Michigan primary despite accusations that he led an insurrection against the United States.


The court’s decision not to move forward with a case against Trump sets the court in sharp contrast to the Colorado supreme court, which recently ruled to strip Trump from its state primary ballot because of his role in the January 6 riot at the US Capitol.

In Michigan, as in Colorado, the challengers have invoked section 3 of the US constitution’s 14th amendment, which broadly blocks people from holding government office if they “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the US constitution having previously sworn an oath to uphold it.

Legal experts are divided on whether this provision, written against the backdrop of the US civil war, applies to the office of the president. There are also questions as to whether Trump’s actions around January 6 legally constitute “insurrection or rebellion”.

Colorado’s decision is currently paused. More than a dozen states have similar litigation in the works, according to a database maintained by Lawfare, which covers national security issues.

The Michigan supreme court justices did not give a reasoning for their decision.
