I agree that the whole proceeding was a violation of Citizen Trump’s rights.
I also agree that the Constitution is in crisis, and has been since the USSC accepted the erection of the State of West Virgina upon the territory of Virginia without the consent of the Virginia General Assembly (Virgina v. West Virginia, 1871).
But Citizen Trump is very likely to be vindicated and criminals Bragg and Merchan will likely face consequences.
I am resisting the ideas that because Citizen Trump is “running for President” as the candidate of a “major party” (neither of which concepts exist in the Constitution) that the crimes of Bragg and Merchan, or the state of low-level rebellion that exists in States like New York and California, WORSEN the crisis we are already in.
In order for a government to come to power that will act to destroy “combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings or by the powers vested in the marshals by law” either an election result beyond imagining (Trump in the White House with 67 Patriot Senators and 293 Patriot Members of Congress) will need to occur OR the Constitution will be discarded by a new government taking a form which “seems most likely to effect [our] Safety and Happiness”.
I’m not holding my breath for either of those things to happen.
As a result, there are far more than just citizen Trump being injured by this farce of a conviction. It involves serious implications to the Constitution in that it is election interference, which the Constitution does have direct involvement in.
The conviction allows the opposition to claim that Trump is a convicted felon, giving a potential advantage to one party in the election, and that is the incumbent party who are currently beyond the reach of the law.
The time & expense that Trump is saddled with based upon a complete sham of a trial, that was held unconstitutionally. The timing is also not without question, as it could have been brought many years ago. In fact, many legal entities rejected taking on the case. The time alone provides jeopardy of a tainted election process. The Supreme Court justices are beholden to uphold & protect the Constitution.
Your concerns are heard and taken into consideration, but I think not getting involved at this point in time overrides whatever concerns you have mentioned, because time is important for a quick ruling to either clear or confirm the sham trial. In fact, if the situation were reversed, I would also support the Supreme Court do a quick ruling.
If this was limited to just citizen Donald John Trump I might stand in aggrievance with you, if he were not the oppositions candidate, but this law case has far reaching impacts upon all citizens. If it an be done against him, it can be used to prosecute whomever they want to, and secure a conviction.
This is communism on display, and you think it has no Constitution crisis attached to it? I suggest you rethink your argument and the real consequences this has.
We already had a judge in New York that said the 2nd amendment has no place in HER court. The Supreme Court has to start being proactive on certain law cases ,otherwise, lawyers thrive while we lose freedoms & rights. No one should not have to spend large amounts of money to receive justice. That is the major obstacle of justice in this nation.
