The problem with going directly to USSC is that they are already seen by most Democrats as compromised partisans. As satisfying as it would be to use them to slap Bragg and his minions down quickly, a New York Court of Appeals reversal would accomplish the same goal and salvage some semblance of legitimacy for a compromised justice system.
Have you seen who serves on that court? Trump doesn’t have a prayer. Let me put it to you that way.
They could even rule on it narrowly and say that the federal election campaign law violation was NOT a violation - which just about everyone agrees with - and then throw out the case on a very narrow basis.
Levin is arguing what I told a friend today. This is really no different from a local judge ruling Trump cannot be on the ballot. This is a minor court with a partisan judge and a DA who ran on getting Trump making a bogus case in an attempt to control the outcome of federal elections. And doing so in part by charging Trump with a federal law violation they have no authority to prosecute!
If they won’t shut this down, then they shut down America. Our country is gone.
Not going to happen. Here is the NY State Court of Appeals:
BZZZZZT!
Not gonna happen. The New York court system is what put Merchan in charge of this trial to begin with, and also Bannon's case, coming up next.
