Not true. There is a bludgeon hanging over his head stacking the deck even further. This is now a Constitutional crisis.
I agree. Too much dependin’ on the black robes, not enough rolling up sleeves and taking care of business.
almost looks like God has set up the Dems...
People who play by the rules will say — let’s wait for the sentencing, then we’ll appeal, and we’ll work our way up through the corrupt NY court system, until we exhaust all appeals, then we’ll try to get it to the Supreme Court, and in about 5 or 6 years, hopefully, we can get this fixed.
People who don’t play by the rules — ignore laws about legal jurisdiction, pass laws that allow the statute of limitations to be ignored, block witnesses for the defense, fail to actually specify a “predicate crime”, ignore due process, don’t expect the jury to reach a unanimous decision, and basically game the whole system so that a guilty verdict is pre-determined.
In case anyone isn’t paying attention, the people who ignore the rules are winning.
Can they? Yes.
Should they? Yes.
Will they?
I have severe doubts.
A common way of speaking.
What, specifically, puts the Constitution into crisis (other than the crisis that began with the recognition of West Virginia as a State without the consent of the Virginia General Assembly in 1866).
The State Legislatures will appoint 535 Electors in November 2024, and Congress will appoint the 3 Electors the States unwisely granted them in 1960.
Those 538 voters will meet at 51 locations in December 2024 and will elect the next President.
The blatant denial of Donald Trump's rights under Amendments IV, V, and VI by New York, as well as his rights under Amendment VIII in a prior case, is not a "constitutional crisis" but rather action by a State in rebellion which will be adjudicated in the normal way and Trump will have his conviction erased and his fines annulled.
It is more like "The people who won this round made up some rules of their own, but they will not stand up to proper scrutiny."
The way Hitler pulled Mengele’s license to practice medicine? /s
It all depends on Roberts......................
This is so wrong as to defy belief. Did you actually read the constitution. Aritcle 3 Secion 2 "The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution..." Violation of constitutional rights is a constitutional issue. In Bush v Gore the Constitutional issue was equal protection, e.g. equal treatment of each lawful vote.
It is not a constitutional crisis. There is a court with jurisdiction empowered to privide a remedy. A constitutional crisis is a situation where there is no remedy under the constitution.
This case is rare, all right,
**************
Its not just rare; it was extraordinary. The political implications are obviously profound here and there are numerous grounds for appeal. Not to mention the highly questionable legal procedures.
If our legal system cannot find a timely way to redress such an obvious case of politically driven injustice, and indeed outright conflict of interest by the presiding judge, then there’s little hope preserving any semblance of integrity in our elections. If this case is not quickly overturned, it will in effect set a precedent for future lawfare of this kind.
“In New York, you would file the notice of appeal, ask for a stay of the trial court, and seek expedited review,” he wrote.

notice of appeal: Denied.
Hmmmmmm? “Presumptive nominee”? Since there are a gaggle of gopEs in bed with the democommies,.........
SCOTUS will watch the country burm from afar and then they’ll say that was unconstitutional.
We are in basic agreement.
The grounds for appeal are endless, for sure.
the precedent has been set. Former Presidents are now prosecutable. there will be a reign of indignation upon those who should have been prosecuted long ago.
my vote hasn’t changed.
i want my pound of flesh.
They are going to sentence him before the convention. He’ll have to do a virtual speech to accept the nomination. I hope he shows the bars in the speech. For the history books. What a pathetic country.
