[Verginius Rufus]

We don't know what Merchan will do on July 11. If he doesn't restrict Trump's movements, he can go to Milwaukee. Of course that is not a given.

Maybe he will restrict Trump to Trump Tower and tell him he can participate in the convention by Zoom.

SCOTUS didn't know what the outcome of the selective recount in Florida would be either, but they stopped it as the predicate crime was the rogue decision by the Florida SCOTUS in the first place.

The same is true in New York. Why let Merchan further injure Trump with a sentencing hearing in July when we already know that the trial that produced that conviction was based on many violations of Trump's constitutional rights?

The constitutional violation has already occurred in the trial; the conviction is tainted. Waiting until the sentencing hearing would only double the harm.
