BREAKING
Abu Zaid: I believe that the Iranian operation was multi-layered, combining cyber and electronic attacks with coordinated on-the-ground infiltrations by agents

Fallahpour: Iran may use these documents in its battle with the United States and Western countries over its nuclear program
Fallahpour: Iran may have obtained additional documents related to "Israel's" regional projects, not just its nuclear program
Fallahpour: The coming weeks will be full of surprises, as Iran has forced Israeli intelligence agencies into a state of psychological exhaustion
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Tehran, Siavash Fallahpour: Iran has redefined the concept of deterrence, shifting it away from traditional military balance toward a new strategic framework
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Number of documents so great that merely studying them, along with accompanying images and footage will require a great deal of time.
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Large data trove was confirmed to have arrived to "safe sites".
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Operation had taken place in past, but large size of documents and need to transfer entire batch inside Iran necessitated secrecy.

The Michigan Supreme Court, in a concise decision, says it was not convinced that the issues raised should be examined by the court before Michigan's presidential primary scheduled for February 27.

The Michigan Supreme Court dismissed an attempt to eliminate Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot in the upcoming year.

Critics of the former Republican President sought judicial intervention to compel election officials to assess whether Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and his connection to the Washington riot should render him ineligible for future candidacy.

However, the Supreme Court, in a concise decision, stated that it was not convinced that the issues raised should be examined by the court before Michigan's presidential primary scheduled for February 27.

This marks the latest attempt to prevent Trump from being listed on primary ballots across various states based on the 14th Amendment, which prohibits officials who have sworn to support the US Constitution from holding future office if they "engaged in insurrection."

The big picture

The decision stands in contrast to a recent ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court, which removed Trump from the state's primary ballot due to his alleged role in inciting the Capitol riot. The Michigan lawsuit, initiated by Free Speech For People in September, a pro-democracy advocacy group, follows similar unsuccessful 14th Amendment challenges against Trump in Minnesota and an ongoing case in Oregon.
 
The case was initially dismissed by Michigan's lower courts on procedural grounds, a ruling that was later affirmed on appeal. Consequently, the fundamental question of whether Trump participated in the insurrection was not addressed in the Michigan legal process.

Justice Elizabeth Welch, one of the four justices nominated by Democrats in the seven-member panel, recognized the Colorado ruling but highlighted material differences in Michigan's election law, where candidates must be deemed "qualified" to run.

"The appellants have identified no analogous provision in the Michigan Election Law that requires someone seeking the office of President of the United States to attest to their legal qualification to hold the office," Welch wrote.
