Ginsburg dissented & Ginsburg joined her.

Ginsburg dissented & Ginsburg joined her.

????????

[rjsimmon]

Ginsburg dissented & Ginsburg joined her.

Did you mean Gorsuch? Or are you implying RBG has a split personality???

[Izzy Dunne]

Gorsuch joined her.

First opinion in her undistinguished years on the bench I have ever agreed with Ginsburg

[KrisKrinkle]

So no plea deals if you can be prosecuted under both State and Federal law. Fifth Amendment wouldn’t apply since if you took a plea deal you wouldn’t have been compelled to testify against yourself and your admission under one sovereign would be used against you by the other.

[Stravinsky]

If OP’s comment that “Ginsburg dissented & Ginsburg joined her” is meant to say, “Ginsburg dissented and Gorsuch joined her,” that’s a bit misleading. Both dissented, but Gorsuch did not join Ginsburg’s dissent and in fact wrote his own dissent (quite a long one too at 25 pages).

So New York State is free to double-dip on prosecutions of everybody in Trump’s orbit. Swell.

BOOKMARK - double jeopardy

[i_robot73]

“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
- 5th Amendment

Hmmmm, I fail to read ANY exemptions in the plain English of the 5th.

Guess one needs a ‘higher education’ to be able to ‘read between the lines’....or just make s* up

[ml/nj]

I also agree with Ginsberg and am surprised by Thomas.

I don’t even believe in civil trials for those aquitted in a crimal court as OJ was. I don’t think anyone should be tried twice based upon one set of facts.

But those “separate sovereigns” only apply to peasants like us. The Elite don’t have to worry about mere courts and such drivel.

I seem to recall this is what happened to the Rodney King cops, cleared in CA, but retried by Feds after the “wrong” result.

This is about Manafort. New York state is going to prosecute Manafort as soon as Trump pardons him just for spite. What a shame what happened to that guy, who was simply brought in for a few months to help Trump with the delegates, when Trump was winning primaries but losing delegates in the caucuses. Cruz had done the homework to figure out how to win the delegates and Trump, not even really expecting to get that far had done none of the groundwork. Not to diss either candidate, it is what it is, just a shame that Manafort was hired to do a temporary job and got creamed for crimes that everyone in his world are guilty of.

Well, Ginsburg and Gorsuch were correct on this one.
