SCOTUS Ruling Deems Trump’s New York Conviction Unconstitutional on Two Key Grounds

I was pretty sure that no justice was going to happen until the Supreme Court did something about it, and that was no guaranteed thing either.

Whatever New York or Federal court this was appealed to would likely have been filled with the same sort of corrupt, lying, idiot partisans that were typical of New York.

“ Defamation doesn’t apply to public figures. If it did, Biden and Hillary would shut this site down in a second.”

It is impossible to defame Biden adequately. There is nothing that can be said about him using known human language that is within a trillion light years of his true nastiness.

His conviction was overturned.

Trumps? No it wasn't. This ruling has implications that could:

significantly impact former President Donald Trump’s criminal convictions.

I believe this is a misleading headline. While the case should certainly be overturned, I don't believe anything regarding Trump has been overturned or even heard at this point.

Headlines VERY misleading.

Absolutely misleading. The better headline would be contained in the first sentence: "could significantly impact".

Thank you very much.

Do you think Trump’s attorneys are doing what you say?

It was unanimous.

Not regarding the specific charges. It was all over the place.

If there is no record of how many jurors voted guilty or not guilty on every single charge, there will be no way to ensure they were all unanimous guilty verdicts, then personally, I would call it malpractice if they weren’t.

We all knew it. Leftists however will use it as an excuse to dismantle or alter the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court votes to uphold traditional Anglo-American legal norms, and to oppose Democrat judicial tyranny!

Hip-hip-hurray!

There may be hope that the USA has not yet fully become a “Banana Republic.”

Then complain to Jim. We still a posting category called “FrontPage”. In the mean time, we all knew what he meant.

This is the point in the movie where Conan puts the jeweled horn back in the nose of the idol, and he starts slowing down, just before he eats the princess.

They’re working with Merchan.

Got to get it out of NY. NY loves Merchan and cheered him on.

Unless they have 2/3s of the senate there is NOTHING they can do to SCOTUS.

Best of all, no one can now use the words “convicted felon” when referring to Trump. I’ll bet the liberal’s heads are exploding right now.

That’s a good point. The whole thing is going to be like a cardboard shack destroyed in a tornado.

“I guess. I was watching the threads last week and dont recall the case or certainly the implications during last fridays case dump. Usually some good Freeper analysis would have headlined this sooner.”

I should have headlined this. I read the case as it was released last Friday and immediately realized the significance. (The MSM missed the significance because the average reporter is dumb as a rock and the SCOTUS opinion did not specifically reference Trump.)

The opinion is significant because it provides NY courts with a binding precedent that should result in reversal of the verdict, without requiring Trump to take the case to the SCOTUS, which could take months or years. Or if, Trump is somehow able to fast Track the case to the SCOTUS, the Court could summarily reverse and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with Erlinger vs United States.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, corrupt liberal judges in NY will probably ignore Erlinger vs United States and allow the conviction to stand.

Is it possible that a reversal could take that long anyway?
