WVGOP Files Brief in Support of Summary Judgment to Protect President Trump's Ballot Access in Federal Lawsuit in West Virginia
The court battle over President Donald Trump's ability to appear on the ballot in West Virginia next year is coming to a head, as the judge overseeing the case has requested all parties to submit their briefs for summary judgment in writing. The WVGOP rejects the unfounded and frivolous notion that Donald Trump should be ruled ineligible to run for President under the 14th Amendment's "insurrection clause." The filing by the Party outlines this belief and its underpinnings, and the WVGOP anticipates a ruling on the case in the coming weeks. In any event, the WVGOP will continue to support the right of Republican primary voters — no one else — to choose their nominee for President.
WVGOP Also Files Amicus Brief Arguing Courts Cannot Disqualify Trump - Michigan Judge Agrees
Jordan Sekulow, ACLJ Counsel explained, “Our amicus brief was ultimately filed on behalf of seven Republican Parties: the Michigan Republican Party, the Oklahoma Republican Party, the Colorado Republican Committee, the West Virginia Republican Party, the Kansas Republican Party, the North Dakota Republican Party, and the Delaware Republican Party. The ACLJ represented all of these Republican Parties with an amicus brief that thoroughly demonstrated why the Michigan Court of Claims or the Michigan Secretary of State lacks any jurisdiction to decide presidential constitutional qualifications and why any attempt to do so would be an infringement on the First Amendment rights of the state parties. The judge agreed.”
