Shifting our focus to the upcoming election, the Michigan Supreme Court has rendered a pivotal decision. They officially rejected an appeal challenging former President Donald Trump's candidacy under the Constitution's insurrection clause. This determination ensures Trump's name will appear on Michigan's presidential primary ballot, scheduled for February 27 of 2024. This development follows a similar ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court just last week, which found Trump disqualified from holding office under the same constitutional clause. This, of course, in response to the January 6 insurrection

In the appeal, the Michigan state Supreme Court said that the challengers to this have not identified a provision in the Michigan law that requires someone seeking office to attest of their legal certification to hold that office. But Justice Elizabeth Welch also referred to this as to the primary ballot and said that should Trump win the republican nomination, Welch specifically noted that this could be reheard and that she would even expect these people to the plaintiffs to renew their legal efforts in the general election later this year
