A New York Appeals court on Tuesday denied Trump’s request to delay Friday’s sentencing in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s ‘hush money’ case.
Trump will be sentenced on Friday after appellate Judge Ellen Gesmer said presidential immunity does not cover presidents-elect.
Last week crooked Judge Juan Merchan ordered Trump to be sentenced in Bragg’s hush money case related to Trump’s payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
.....Snip.....
Judge Ellen Gesmer rejected Trump’s claim that the case should be delayed because of presidential immunity, after his attorney argued before the court that Trump is covered by presidential immunity that extends to him while he waits to be sworn in.
The appellate court heard arguments Tuesday in Trump’s lawsuit against the judge in the case, Juan Merchan, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as part of Trump’s effort to halt his sentencing following his criminal conviction in May.
Judge Ellen Gesmer questioned whether immunity granted to sitting presidents extends to presidents-elect.
“I’m curious about that,” she said. “Do you have any support for a notion that presidential immunity extends to Presidents-elect?”

The fix is in to officially rule Trump is a convicted felon and let the media tarnish him as such in order to demean his presidency.
Anyone who sits still for the garbage US courts deserves everything that comes to them from the black-robed stooge-clowns pretending to be Rule of Law people.
You mean, like what they’ve been doing for the past several years?
34 counts cobbled together by a full of hate da and judge? 34 counts that no other businessman would ever face? time for some vindication through the same vindictiveness that was dished out.
Call their bluff, just refuse to show up.
Mark Levin covered this extensively last night and he was exasperated that Trump’s lawyers are screwing around in NY State Courts. He said that they should have been at the Supreme Court weeks ago.

Good summary. Nailed it!
Release the Kraken!!!
Release all the names of all those who paid off sexual harassment claims out of that that 17 million dollar slush fund of tax payer money.
How many of them were democrats?
The politicians and the loudmouths on MSNBC, CNN and other outlets will be happy to use “convicted felon” a lot.
It does not please me.
Judicial NYC Rat sewage. The 4 legged variety are more honorable at least.
The problem is the SC does not like leap frogging. They will use that dodge to avoid having to rule whenever they can.
The quick rejoinder is the reminder that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and indeed most all the Founding Fathers were “convicted felons” by the British.
It’s good company to keep.
Not scotus yet. This was just NY Appeals.
(Not scotus yet. This was just NY Appeals.)
The damage will be done January 10th so it’s too late.
The notion of comity is quickly becoming an issue:
comity /kŏm′ĭ-tē/
noun
An atmosphere of social harmony.
The principle by which a court in one jurisdiction defers to a court in another jurisdiction where either would have legal power to decide the case, or gives effect to the laws, executive acts, or legal decisions of another jurisdiction.
We are quickly approaching a fork in the road where the notion of comity should not be extended to certain jurisdictions operating in kangaroo fashion, such as Juan Merchan’s New York.
When clownish behavior becomes pattern and practice by rogue judges and other officials in select cities and states; other jurisdictions should be free to ignore the notion of comity from those courts and jurisdictions unworthy of such observances and be able to state the rationale in official rulings as a forcing function to operate within the framework of the law.
Juan Merchan, Tish James, Alvin Bragg, Michael Colangelo, Fanni Willis and her Paramore, and Jack Smith and his merry band of legal marauders all fail in this regard.
convicted felon
Yeah.
The prog teletubbies will have special frowny faces for the evil “convicted felon.”
I haven’t watched 6pm network propaganda since 911.
Now they are all replaceable with AI.
I wonder if they have figured that one out yet...
.
And who thinks his appeal in ny will be fair or favorable? Not me. Meanwhile fjb and stooges ar making the biggest mess possible and setting Trump up as an ogre to repeal all their crap.
This is not appealable to SCOTUS until NY courts are finished with it.
And, until judgement overturned, Trump IS a convicted felon.
Mark Levin has been sending signals, very loudly, to Trump’s lawyers to forget about appealing to this prick judge and go directly to the Supreme Court.
It must be a case of them not wanting to be seen as acting on advice from Levin.
