Michigan Supreme Court Refuses To Hear Appeal To Disqualify Trump From GOP Primary

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

34% : The ruling doesn't mean that Trump can't be disqualified from the general election ballot in Michigan, but it means t that he can't be disqualified from the primary ballot due to technicalities in Michigan state law.
33% : The Michigan Supreme Court won't hear the appeal now, but the odds are high that there will be a case filed to disqualify Trump in the state for the general election, and there won't be a technicality in place to save the failed former president.
27% : The odds are that the evidence supporting the disqualification of Trump is only going to grow in 2024.
22% : If Trump somehow managed to beat 90 or more criminal felony counts, then there would be no new evidence that could be used to throw him off of the ballot.
21% : The Michigan Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of a case that would have blocked Trump from appearing on the Republican primary ballot.
18% : It did not rule on Trump's claim that section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment requires federal implementing legislation; it did not rule on Trump's claim that only Congress can decide presidential candidates' qualifications; it did not rule on Trump's claim that the president of the United States is not an "officer of the United States"; and it did not rule on any of various obscure legal theories raised by Trump's supporters.
8% : One of the lesser discussed elements of the movement to disqualify Trump is that if the former president is convicted of crimes related to the 1/6 attack and plot to overturn the election before the 2o24 general election, there will be waves of court challenges across the country to kick Donald Trump off of the general election ballot.
