You think Merchan was bad. Take a look at Trump’s DEI hanging crew that awaits him on the first step of appeal in New York City, all black woman Democrat judge 1st Judicial appellate court. 96% of black women voted for the other guy last election. That’s why his team needs to consider Levin’s suggestion of trying to circumvent the NYS appellate system and apply for writ of certiorari directly with the US Supreme Court to review it

"The guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump reached by a Manhattan jury on Thursday could ultimately be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, legal experts said."

[nwrep]

It seems that everyone in the legal community has an idea on how to get SCOTUS involved in this case except for Trump’s lawyers. Is Alina at the beauty salon?

[butlerweave]

Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records ,Trump was very busy for someone who knew nothing about it

[FlingWingFlyer]

The SCOTUS needs to deem Merry’s Department of Jackasses unconstitutional now that it has weaponized by the Kenyan boy. It’s time to defund the Obeyme Sombrero’s “17 ‘intelligence’ communities”.

[Robert DeLong]

There is a clear Constitutional crisis that now exists. The conservatives on the Supreme Court need to immediately step up and smack these communists need to be slapped down. Congress also needs to stand up & exert their power. Otherwise, this nation as founded is lost forever.

They can no longer fear what ever it is they fear.

[Roadrunner383]

Yes.

First question the Court should ask, which election did Trump interfere with (supposedly)?

When the lawyer for the DAs office says the 2016 Presidential Election, the Court should overturn Trump’s conviction based on the Manhattan DA having no jurisdiction over Federal Elections.

[adorno]

Democrats attempted to take Trump off a few states as a presidential candidate. That was a federal issue which the Supreme court had to intervene in, and they batted back the ludicrous democrat nonsense.

Trump was ‘convicted’ by democrats on a federal issue which NYC and NY state have no standing to get involved in. It’s another federal issue in which the Supreme court has jurisdiction, and must bat that back against the NYC/NY DAs.

Federal issues belong in the federal courts and not with state or local courts. NYC went too far with attempting to get Trump out of the 2024 elections.

[AJFavish]

If Trump in jail, try habeus corpus. Under 28USC2254 exhaustion of state remedies is unnecessary if “circumstances exist that render such process ineffective to protect” his rights. He has a right to run for President without an unconstitutional felony conviction on his record.

[Yogafist]

I would like to see the Supreme Court stay any further proceedings by Merchan due to the appearance of impropriety during the trial, until the appeals process is exhausted.

[ComputerGuy]

Screw the courts. It’s the public who need to intervene.

[FlingWingFlyer]

That fatass chunk of scum, Fat Albert Bragg, needs to lose his lawyer license to “practice” due to the ignorant Nazi crap he just pulled in a FAR LEFT, WEAPONIZED New Yawk kangaroo court.

[Jim Noble]

“The issue is how to get out of the New York system and bring the case to the Supreme Court, which may or may not take it up,” Levin wrote on Thursday night. “That is why I look to Bush v Gore, where the S Ct decided to step in BECAUSE it was a presidential election.”

The problem is that the USSC was WRONG to grant a hearing to Bush v. Gore, and to top it off, it was wrongly decided.

The "presidential election" that people want the USSC to intervene in does not exist in the US Constitution.

If the Court had (correctly) used the non-justiceable political question doctrine and refused to hear the case, the normal Article II and Amendment XII processes would have taken place.

There was ZERO possibility, had that happened, that Al Gore could have become President (unless Republicans elected him). There was a small possibility that Joe Lieberman could have become VP (as one of three possible outcomes).

The Court overstepped, NOT in my opinion as partisans but as power hungry officials who achieved what was never intended - Federal control over the processes by which States appoint Electors.

THe WHOLE REASON there is an Electoral College, to this day, is to reserve appointment of an incoming administration to the States rather than to the National government.

[Sacajaweau]

I would think this would be covered by immunity...we shall see...

almost looks like God has set up the Dems...

[ClearCase_guy]

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.

[Dead Corpse]

Can they? Yes.
Should they? Yes.

Will they?

I have severe doubts.

“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.

[Political Junkie Too]

Bragg and Merchan violated President Trump's fifth and sixth amendment rights in so many ways.

1. Trump's sixth amendment right to "an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed" was denied to him by Bragg and Merchan by not moving the venue to a more balanced location outside of New York City.

2. Trump's sixth amendment right to a trial in "which district shall have been previously ascertained by law" was denied to him by Bragg and Merchan by trying a federal campaign finance law in a county court in New York.

3. Trump's sixth amendment right "to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusations" against him was denied to him by Bragg and Merchan by not revealing what the underlying charge that bootstrapped the misdemeanors was. Even after conviction, nobody knows what the underlying crime was.

4. Trump's sixth amendment right to "have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor" was denied to him by Bragg and Merchan by not letting Trump put the former Chairman of the Federal Elections Commission on the witness stand to give expert testimony on what constitutes illegal campaign spending.

5. Trump's sixth amendment right to have a unanimous jury verdict was denied to him by Bragg and Merchan by letting the jury pick from several possible underlying crimes without all agreeing on what that crime was.

6. Trump's fifth amendment right to "due process of law" was violated when Bragg and Merchan instructed the jury to presume guilt of the underlying crime that resuscitated misdemeanors that were past their statute of limitations.

Hmmmmmm? “Presumptive nominee”? Since there are a gaggle of gopEs in bed with the democommies,.........

[wiseprince]

SCOTUS will watch the country burm from afar and then they’ll say that was unconstitutional.
