Free Speech for People claims the Republican is barred from running due to contesting the 2020 results | Anti-Trump nonprofit Free Speech for People has filed a lawsuit in Michigan aimed at keeping Republican frontrunner Donald Trump off the state’s 2024 ballot by arguing he violated his presidential oath by participating in an “insurrection” against the Constitution. ● The challenge – one of several similar suits being filed by like-minded groups across the US – is based on Section Three of the 14th Amendment, a rarely-cited provision ratified in 1868 and designed to keep former Confederate officials from attaining positions of power in the nominally-reconstructed US Congress. ● Trump’s lawyers have called for the suit to be dismissed as a violation of the Republican frontrunner’s own constitutional rights, along with a similar suit filed by the same group in Minnesota and one in Colorado by the Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. The campaign to preemptively remove Trump from the ballot constitutes illegal election interference as well as attempts to stifle his First Amendment right to freedom of speech, Trump has repeatedly declared.
