Unless there is a federal law issue, the SCOTUS has no say. It is the NY state courts that will hear the appeal.

Federal election interference, but yes, it will go through the NY appeals process first.

So State Courts cannot violate Constitutional rights?

[Free Louie]

It violates a whole host of constitutional precepts. So yes, it’s in SCOTUS’ purview

[Flaming Conservative]

His constitutional rights were violated; is that not federal?

“Unless there is a federal law issue, the SCOTUS has no say.”

All manner of Constitutional issues arise here that are incorporated civil rights and the Federal courts are absolutely free to intervene.

Also, Federal judges get cranky when local traffic judges like Merchan tell them they can’t do something.

Not true. See Bush v Gore

Not a lawyer but a case can be made that they have violated his Constitutional rights (which is how the Supreme Court gets involved in state legal issues).

I think that is not the case. I believe SCOTUS can take jurisdiction from the appellate court. Could be wrong...I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.😖

Huh? Emergency appeals happen frequently when a convicted criminal is about to be executed.

You are wrong. Trump has a 14th Amendment right to remove this case to federal court even before state Court appeals are decided.

1 - The state was prosecuting federal law, 2 - Malicious prosecution for the purpose of interfering with a Election interference.

Among other things.

The due process violations are a Federal matter. Megyn Kelly and others are citing Bragg's refusal to specify the felony Trump was charged with until after his defense rested as such a violation.

[ScottfromNJ]

Meant to say -

2 - Malicious prosecution for the purpose of interfering with a Federal Election.”

Damn no edit feature!

“Unless there is a federal law issue”

There is. Duh!
