BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY. PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!
The good news is that the lower courts will first have to decide which parts of the voluminous phony indictments are "official" vs. "unofficial" conduct, which should take us well past the election.
Sotomoyer has a long dissent where she cherry-picks everything Trump supposedly did as part of his ‘conspiracy’ and then notes that the Constitution is silent about prosecuting _former_ Presidents for crimes... notwithstanding that Trump was actually the President at the time, of course, and she seems to walk a razor-thin line about preferring prosecution for official acts after leaving office.
At first glance, it seems as if she’s arguing this: suppose a (real) perp strikes an immunity plea deal with a D.A. to rat out co-conspirators for a crime. Everybody signs off and the guy is released. A month later, he’s re-arrested and prosecuted when the same D.A. says “oh, that immunity deal has expired now that you’re no longer in a position to help us.”
How does this affect next week’s “sentencing”?
McCarthy says big win for all Presidents, can’t delve in to the President’s “state of mind and motivation”.
McCarthy-Luntz? That McCarthy?
Final substantive paragraph: "The president enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President's conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution."
As the apocryphal adage goes, “God looks out for drunks, little children, and the United States of America.”

“How does this affect next week’s “sentencing”?”
It doesn’t. Merchan is going to do whatever Merchan and his overlords want to do.

Oops. That thread was pulled. Someone jumped the gun.
But signs are looking good.
Okay, thanks.
Just wanted to confirm :-)
Imagine that. An entitlement that the communists are against, for once.
Amen.
Although the case occurred prior to Trump presidency, the judge did use federal election as part of the crime.
Yeah that’s what turley said would happen right move now they have to conclude what was official and what wasn’t
Turley says he doesn’t understand how this doesn’t cause cardiac arrest in the special counsel’s office, LOL
