Hopefully Trump gets better attorneys than that nutcase woman he had before

[Tupelo]

“I have no faith in any of the judges in DC.”

I would also add, that I have no faith in any of the last 4 “Conservative” justices added to the court.

Again, as I have asked on the many related discussion threads today, and so far no meaningful answer, on what law or precedence can or might the Supreme Court act? Does Levin or anyone think the court can or will just void the many federal and state court actions to give Trump a Get Out of Jail Free card?

Levin is an idiot here and Trump's really really great attorneys are wasting Trump's money on this frivalous lawsuit.

Both Trump and Kari Lake had their elections stolen by cheat-by-mail-in ballots with no signature verification or electronic link to the original voter. In both cases they were ahead on the night of Election 'Day' but subsequently lost a week later after the count was slow-walked and enough mail-in ballots put the Democrat ahead.

THIS is the one thing that SCOTUS must deal with before 2024 or the result will be the same.

Cheat-by-mail-in ballots are unconstitutional because they create a set of two different standards. Someone voting in person on Election Day must provide identification, while we all saw in Kari Lake's legal challenges the sick joke of what qualifies as signature verification for the cheat-by-mail-in ballots.

RINO-controlled state legislatures should have never allowed these mail-ins in the first place, but we all know that they were in league with the Dems to get Trump out, and in 2022 they were happy for MAGA candidates to be cheated.

When the enemy is inside the gate, and we can’t get justice from the justice department, then where do we get it?

[Yo-Yo]

There is only one way that I know of to get this case before the Supreme Court in a timely manner (apart from the normal trial-verdict-appeal process.)

Trump’s legal team files a motion for summary dismissal on First Amendment grounds with the trial court, which will be rejected.

Trump’s team then immediately files an appeal of the rejection with the DC Circuit Court, who will also most likely uphold the trial judge’s dismissal of defendant’s motion.

Trump’s team then immediately files an appeal directly to SCOTUS, bypassing the en banc review at the DC Circuit level, citing irreparable harm due to pending elections.

Then and only then would SCOTUS have something to rule on.

[chiller]

A federal attorney on Kilmeade this am, sympathetic to DjT, fears the DC Trump-hating judge will not allow a change of venue, will not recuse herself, oversee a conviction, and may remand DjT to jail, pending appeal.

He suggests an appeal in the DC district will yield same results, which leaves the SC to fix it, but could mean some campaigning from jail.

However, evidence presented to the jury which devastates Smith’s case will hang at least one juror, imho. Worst case, I can’t imagine a SC allowing this tragedy to stand.

In fact, bet on every step to be appealed to higher courts; venue, recusal, et al.

This will take years, not months. I’m sending money.

President Trump can make the argument that the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction to hear the case directly.

This latest indictment says "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA V. DONALD J. TRUMP, Defendant.

Article III Section 2:

The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;—between a State and Citizens of another State;—between Citizens of different States;—between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.

Since the Democrats have absolute control over the departments of the United States and are using those departments to harass President Trump in advance of the upcoming election, Trump can make the case that the United States is a party to his case of abuse of power and whatever other legal terminology expresses the concern.

Trump can ask the Supreme Court to act as original jurisdiction to review the charges in the indictment for conformity to law and precedence and throw out vague, ambiguous, mis-applied, or unprovable charges that are only meant to harass and distract President from running his campaign against the Democrats.

Essentially he can ask the Supreme Court for relief from Democrats colluding to prevent him from running a fair campaign against them.

Running to the Supreme Court because a motion to continue is not granted is not going to go over well. Judges have long memories when it comes to litigants filing frivolous motions.

[Timber Rattler]

The Supreme Court is under NO obligation to hear Trump's case, or intervene in any criminal trial before it even starts.

Did Mark not learn that lesson in December 2020?
