A Highland Park activist is attempting to argue the 14th Amendment should be used to keep former President Donald Trump off the ballot in Michigan. Does he have any standing?
The wording of 14A doesn’t require a trial and conviction. It was used extensively in the past without convictions to keep former Confederate officials out of Washington.
No. Trump hasn’t been convicted yet. Keeping someone off a ballot who hasn’t been found guilty opens up a huge mess.
