Former President Donald Trump should be ineligible to appear on either of Michigan’s 2024 ballots due to his involvement with the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol, according to a lawsuit filed in the Michigan Court of Claims Friday.

The suit hinges on the concept that Trump, during his 2020 re-election campaign – and afterwards, when it became apparent he lost the contest to now-President Joe Biden – engaged in insurrection and should be legally barred from holding office again under a section of the Fourteenth Amendment.

That's not the issue, it's the courts. Especially the Supreme Court, they can throw out any argument for the use of the 14th amendments
