Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words.
I do not think you are correct. The Supremes have great power and might even take up the case sua sponte, since it appears to have great enough national importance.
I don’t like it any more than you do, I’m just telling ya.
If an emergency application to the SCOTUS was going to happen don’t you think Trump woulda said something about it by now?
After all, as we all know he’s not exactly the type to play it close to the vest....we can at least agree on that I hope.
I saw that also and Levin is full of it. Trump’s attorneys can file a writ for emergency hearing. This is a presidential election interference situation especially if Merchan tries to put Trump in jail. You cannot allow the leading candidate in a presidential election to sit in jail or house arrest.
I do not see this case going through the appellate court. Its going to be like 2000 Gore v Bush.
” He apologized to Joe Biden when someone said he rolled his eyes once at the State of the Union. “
LOL !
The “leadership” of the “conservatives” in America.
We’re going to find out.
I think he's waiting for the sentence. If it is any serious punishment (imprisonment or house arrest) that will be a step too far and any Emergency Application would get immediately accepted.
I think Bragg’s loony argument was that Trump might have intended to commit one of 3 crimes, one of which made it a circular argument, and the other two didn’t make much sense either. That allows the jury more fog to hide behind.
Exactly what precedent?
That would be my guess.
WHAAAAT? Did he grow a pair?
Bush v Gore
Recurring music is the Notre Dame fight song, The Rakes of Bannon.
Johnson, or Trump? It’s completely dependent on Trump taking action, which he so far hasn’t. Today he apparently said he was prepared to go to jail, which seems odd to me, since he could still file other appeals.
I think your suggestion is very smart. It’s also refreshing in contrast to the strongly negative opinions here on this thread.
No, I don't think he would say anything about it. He knows how to keep his mouth shut when it is going to benefit him and he knows how to be a complete motor mouth when that is going to benefit him.
My take on the strategy is to keep quiet right now and let his lawyers file for SC review. If he is turned down, there is less embarrassment and he continues campaigning. I think he is going to be elected, conviction or no conviction.
First, we see what the sentence is. My suspicion is the Marchan will try to silence DJT by imposing a gag order as a condition of probation. This will really be a constitutional crisis and the SC must intervene. BUT, if the sentence has little or no impact on his campaign, the SC may well wait for the lower courts to consider the issues.
“And he also inferred DJT doesn’t have the right legal representation to do it.”
Not many attorneys experienced in appealing a convicted former POTUS to the US Supreme Court.
Lindsey was a lawyer in the military. He is on the side of the tyrants.
love that post
