Speculation is running rampant about the need for a “hook” to get the Supremes to consider cert on the bogus Bragg conviction. Recall that the alleged “falsified” business records all supposedly occurred in 2017.
Last time I checked, Trump was president at the time. I’m not a lawyer, but if SCOTUS reaffirms broad presidential immunity (as I believe they will, definitely after the clown show in New York) on the basis of separation of powers, this will upend the J6 case, almost all of the documents case and the Fulton RICO case in its entirety. At a minimum, a broad immunity ruling could impact the Bragg case in interesting ways.
There is not one government department or agency that is NOT CORRUPT now!!
To say nothing of the political and psychological impact such a game changing ruling will have. Trump will be vindicated. The US v Fischer will blow up the rest of Jack Smith’s J6 case.
Have you forgotten who is Chief Justice?
SCOTUS will dodge this as long as they can
Roberts from Malta and Italian satellites?
I wonder what the blackmail is.
The immunity case is already on the docket. If it covers state level charges, all the cases, with the exception of Mar-a-Lago disappear in a cloud of smoke. I think this case illustrates the need for presidential immunity.
My point is that the Bragg case can not escape the impact of a ruling affirming broad presidential immunity. Justice Roberts is an institutionalist. What the Democrats have done in weaponizing the justice system to cripple or hobble Candidates for presidential office has gotten even Roberts’ attention. During oral arguments, he sided with Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. Justice Coney is a wild card. But there’s reason to be hopeful.

It ls called an emergency appeal and is made to the circuit Court of which about half the judges were appointed by republicans.
The request for a stay is called an application – a brief that summarizes the facts and history of the case and outlines the arguments why the lower court’s ruling should be put on hold. The application for a stay goes, at least at first, to just one justice, known as the “circuit justice,” who handles emergency appeals from the geographic area where the case originated. The circuit justice can grant or deny the application on her own, or she can refer it to the full court for all of the justices to vote on it. The circuit justice also may order the other side in the case to file a brief responding to the request; depending on the case, that brief may be due within a few days (if not sooner).The request for a stay is called an application – a brief that summarizes the facts and history of the case and outlines the arguments why the lower court’s ruling should be put on hold.

Doesn’t Roberts collect feral Irish children?
Nothing will happen until after sentencing by that scum judge. But things will start moving quickly afterwards IMHO.
I rarely give Demscum advice, but it’s a trap you idiots. (Not that they will listen.)
Exactly. Or else, any of the 2,500 local DA’s will use the Bragg case as precedence to influence federal elections to the highest offices.
SCOTUS’s immunity decision will be handed down by late June, at the latest.
Most of MAR goes up in smokes, too.
Recall that any grand jury can indict a ham sandwich.
Local DA’s will time indictments and trials for Republicans close enough to the elections so that even if the verdict gets overturned, it’ll be too late.
It has something to do with his adopted children, and him bypassing certain adoption laws, IIRC.
The Dean Phillips trial balloon is the big tell. Internal party polling must be horrendous. But beyond that, there’s the chance that Trump will be vindicated on every front by a decisive immunity ruling by the highest court.
Well Mar-a-Lago involves retention of the documents after they were requested by the National Archives. I think it’s a bogus case, too, obviously, but it concerns actions after he left office. Immunity probably only extends to acts while president, even if not official acts, to keep the president from being harassed by trivial and frivolous lawsuits.
