Michigan's Supreme Court rejected an attempt to keep former President Trump off the 2024 primary ballot Wednesday, upholding a lower court ruling.
In both cases, Trump's removal from the ballot was sought via a section of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment, also known as the "insurrectionist ban."
The clause prohibits anyone who swore an oath to the U.S. and then "engaged in insurrection" against the country from holding public office.The clause was used against ex-Confederates following the Civil War, and has only been used once since 1919, but never to a presidential candidate.

Trump is a criminal and should not be on the ballot
@CaribouJohnny4mos4MO
It’s the GOP primary ballot , won’t matter in the general election
@9HRMZNQ4mos4MO
Until he is found guilty by a jury of his peers, he should be allowed to be on the ballot.

"The battle is not over however, considering ballot eligibility lawsuits have been filed in Oregon, New Jersey and Wisconsin state courts.
They have also been filed in federal district courts in Alaska, Arizona, Nevada, New York, New Mexico, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming."

It’s not over yet.
“But affirming a lower court's ruling that permits a renewed challenge during the general election.”
They will not remove him from the primary ballot, but they will allow a renewed challenge during the general election.

The American people realize the Democrats and their deep state accomplices will try anything to remove President Trump from the ballot.
President Trump will prevail.

Trump should be allowed to run for presidency.
@9HRSG3J4mos4MO
The 14th Amendment loophole is unpatriotic and corrupt. No presidential candidate should be prevented from being added to the ballot. Let the American people decide at the polls.
@9HRRYDN4mos4MO
Removing a candidate from the ballot is undemocratic.
@9HRRC3Y4mos4MO
We are headed for dictatorship if we allow one group to weaponize the DOJ as has been done recently.
