And thanks for having me I you know we here in Michigan and election officials all across the country are fully prepared to do our jobs this year which is making sure every citizen can vote and that we're administering full free and fair elections so that continues uh The clarity provided by the court is to affirm what I and the vast majority of my colleagues have also said since the beginning which is that it's inappropriate for any one state to weigh in uh and make a decisive position take a decisive position on such a thorny Legal issue it really is best left to the federal government and the Supreme Court has affirmed that given us that Clarity uh so that any state or state court still wrestling with the question of how to apply section three of the 14th Amendment now has that Clarity to Declare Donald Trump's eligibility as a candidate in this election again I think the vast majority of my colleagues have taken the same position I have which is that it's in appropriate for a state official to weigh in on this issue and today the Supreme Court affirmed that position and Said indeed in cases like this where the legal and factual issues are not straightforward the Constitution requires they be determined at the federal level not at the state level and then again I think on all this we have to remember who has the ultimate Authority which is the voters in every State and that again was to me affirmed today by giving voters the opportunity to weigh in on who they should hold politically accountable at The Ballot Box for the issues at stake in this year's election I was surprised you know was at the oral arguments as well and expected As I think many of us did for a lot of the discussion to be focused on the definition of insurrection the facts in this case but notably the court said look there are lots of different issues at play both legal and factual and the question is really who is the Appropriate Authority what is the appropriate forum and when is the appropriate time to make these determinations as a legal scholar and a former law Dean I know you have to determine those who and what and when law at the same time or perhaps before you get to the substance of the case and So I I wasn't surprised at all by even the unanimity or the perum aspect of the decision today and I was grateful because it showed by issuing it today before super Tuesday the court is aware of the importance of both Clarity and timing in this case and again in making Sure voters go into this election cycle with the clarity of their power to determine the future of our country in this upcoming election
