Disappointed in you, Michigan.

      They’re pointing out how obviously ridiculous the court’s claim is. There’s no room or need for an intelligent rebuttal because the Michigan Sup. Court’s opinion was not intelligently made.

        So I was right, the argument is that a state Supreme Court exercises unlimited authority within that state’s borders.

        What a horribly stupid take.

          Do you have a relevant discussion point or are you just here to harass people who don’t share your feelings about ex-president Trump?

            Which kind of states’ rights are you referring to – the kind that caused the Civil War or the enumerated and unenumerated powers granted to the various states with regard to limited self governance? Assuming the latter, a state has the power to restrict its own authority it is also limited by that state’s own Constitution and the US Constitution as well as many other laws, rules, regulations, and established principles. Michigan has different laws than Colorado. The Michigan Supreme Court correctly found that it is not empowered to remove a candidate from a political party’s primary election ballot.

            I genuinely do not understand what is difficult about this. It would seem the average Lemmy user’s lack of understanding of the law is only matched by that same group’s certainty of their mastery of it.
