The court said Wednesday it will not hear an appeal of a lower court바카라 게임 웹사이트s ruling from groups seeking to keep Trump from appearing on the ballot.
The state바카라 게임 웹사이트s high court said in an order that the application by parties to appeal a Dec. 14 Michigan appeals court judgment was considered, but denied 바카라 게임 웹사이트because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this court.바카라 게임 웹사이트
The ruling followed a Dec. 19 decision by a divided Colorado Supreme Court which found Trump ineligible to be president because of his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. That ruling was the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate.
The Michigan and Colorado cases are among dozens hoping to keep Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s name off state ballots. They all point to the so-called insurrection clause that prevents anyone from holding office who 바카라 게임 웹사이트engaged in insurrection or rebellion바카라 게임 웹사이트 against the Constitution.
Trump pressed two election officials in Michigan바카라 게임 웹사이트s Wayne County not to certify 2020 vote totals, according to a recording of a post-election phone call disclosed in a by The Detroit 온라인 바카라 게임. The former president 바카라 게임 웹사이트s 2024 campaign has neither confirmed nor denied the recording바카라 게임 웹사이트s legitimacy.
Attorneys for Free Speech for People, a liberal nonprofit group also involved in efforts to keep Trump's name off the primary ballot in Minnesota, had asked Michigan's Supreme Court to render its decision by Christmas Day.
The group argued that time was 바카라 게임 웹사이트of the essence바카라 게임 웹사이트 due to 바카라 게임 웹사이트the pressing need to finalize and print the ballots for the presidential primary election.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Earlier this month, Michigan's high court refused to immediately hear an appeal, saying the case should remain before the appeals court.
Free Speech for People had sued to force Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to bar Trump from Michigan바카라 게임 웹사이트s ballot. But a Michigan Court of Claims judge rejected their arguments, saying in November that it was the proper role of Congress to decide the question.
