The high court needs lower courts to build and refine the record. Provide various reasonings by judges as to what the record and evidence adduced. Consider friends of the court(Amicus Curiae) briefs which further point up all the heretofore normal conventions, rules and practices of the ancient time-tested Anglo-American legal system. NY went back and passed a temporarily applicable only to ensnare Trump ex post facto law (prohibited by US Constitution) just to “get” one man (Bill of Attainder prohibited by US Constitution. They allowed a man’s lawyer to testify against him! (damn the attorney-client privilege and the 7th Am.) There was so much error in this case and in NY as to deny him all Due Process and Equal Protection of the laws (Guaranteed by US Const.). A re-trial after a reversal would be impermissible due to Double Jeopardy (Am. 8) applying because the error was the result of prosecution, judge and NY state action and misconduct and invidious discrimination by all concerned.
Great post!
Trump needs to appeal this outside of NY and send it straight to the SC where he will get a fair trial.
Yes, this isn’t paint-by-numbers lawfare. I was given heck for urging caution in this urgent “fight.”
This case isn’t going to get endless bites at the apple before the SC.
I think it was all about time,time when the election is held vs. time to hear the many appeals.
They knew time was on their side so it really didin't matter how far astray of the law they went.
I don't think they anticipated however that Trumps numbers would keep rising no matter what they did. Problem now is it's hard to predict the sentencing.
I think that being lawless usually catches up to people,just a matter of how long it takes.
