So if Trump were down there at Mar-a-Lago, would DeSantis deny extradition?

Re: Denying extradition.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1987 that Governors have no power to deny or delay extradition.

Most of these recent threads on this topic are saying that the US Constitution sets out extradition between states and the individual Governors are not empowered to allow or stop it. That is so a crun of the mill everyday criminal cannot flee across state lines and be safe from extradition back to another state.

Now you Trumpers are moving the goalposts. Yesterday it was "DESANTIS HASN'T SPOKEN OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE!"

Now that Desantis has spoken out about this issue, your position has changed to "DESANTIS WON'T STOP EXTRADITION!"

Absolute lunatics, the lot of you.

He can’t. If the state of NY issues a warrant of arrest and begins extradition proceedings, DeSantis is legally powerless to block extradition. If Trump fights extradition then the law allows for the Governor to review the request, but he cannot block it.

He can’t. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that governors have no power to ignore extradition requests and the federal courts can compel them to comply with extradition if they fail to do what the Constitution demands.

Why don’t people know this stuff? It’s not like it’s a hidden secret.

DeSantis is obligated to refuse to extradite a Citizen of Florida to this circus--in fact, to protect President Trump. If DeSantis fails to do so, he is DEFINITELY NOT Presidential material.

“would DeSantis deny extradition?”

Is there even extradition for a misdemeanor charge?

“So if Trump were down there at Mar-a-Lago, would DeSantis deny extradition?”

It’s been explained here many times that he doesn’t have the authority to deny extradition. Besides, Trump’s lawyer already said that he’ll surrender peacefully.
