Liberal tears are flowing this morning once again after one of their sinister moves to subvert American democracy was foiled in Michigan.
ABC News reported that the Michigan Supreme Court rejected an appeal by the far-left group Free Speech For People (FSFP) aimed at barring Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Unlike Colorado’s tyrannical decision last week to toss the 45th president off the ballot, Michigan actually decided to safeguard the Constitution.
Michigan’s highest state court said it is “not persuaded that the present questions should be reviewed by this court.”
ABC notes this ruling upholds one by Michigan’s Court of Appeals earlier his month. It previously rejected an earlier appeal filed by “FSFP” on behalf of a group of Michigan voters who sought to remove Trump from the ballot based on his activity surrounding the protests around the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Ron Fein, legal director of FSFP, whined in a statement that the Michigan Supreme Court ruling “conflicts with longstanding US Supreme Court precedent that makes clear that when political parties use the election machinery of the state to select, via the primary process, their candidates for the general election, they must comply with all constitutional requirements in that process.”
In her dissent, Justice Elizabeth Welch also noted the difference between Colorado’s state laws and Michigan’s.
Significantly, Colorado’s election laws differ from Michigan’s laws in a material way that is directly relevant to why the appellants in this case are not entitled to the relief they seek concerning the presidential primary election in Michigan.
Appellants argue that the political parties are state actors for purposes of putting forward candidates for the presidential primary, and thus, the political parties are subject to the United States Constitution.
This also marks another court victory for the 45th president regarding his eligibility. The Gateway Pundit reported last week that a federal lawsuit aimed at blocking former President Donald Trump from appearing on the West Virginia electoral ballot has been dismissed.
President Trump responded to the ruling in statement that said “this pathetic gambit to rig the election has failed all across the country.”
