March sitting: All opinions have been released.

And then there is the case we are all waiting for from the...

April setting: There is one case remaining undecided.

Which is the case of Trump v. U.S., No. 23-939 [Arg: 4.25.2024]

Issue(s): Whether and if so to what extent does a former president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office.

It’s up to congress to do that. Not holding my breath waiting for the castrated, gutless wonders we have in the house to actually do the right thing.

Biden and Pence both took classified documents as Vice Presidents.

What of this?

She often wears her hair in a pony tail, especially if outdoors where the wind would wreak havoc.

And she is a very pretty lady, if appearances matter.

The dems may continue to try to pursue their lawfare, as well as their other usual tricks, but my admittedly non-lawyer impression from the decisions handed down over the past two days is that while the Court was only clarifying the obvious meaning of the Constitution, it effectively handed us an entire arsenal of legal weapons to now use against the deep state. The federal government has slid so far left that constitutional government seems radical to the left. Well, they’d better get ready for an avalanche of “radical” Americanism.

“Yes, but even the NYC case, the prosecution used Federal Election Law as a crime committed.”

The use of federal election laws has nothing to do with presidential immunity. The NYC case will be overturned based upon the SCOTUS opinion in Erlinger v. United States, decided 06/21/24. In that case, the court held that under the 5th and 6th Amendments to the Constitution, a unanimous jury must find the defendant guilty of the other acts based upon proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

In the NYC case, Bragg elevated the case from a low level misdemeanor to a felony by alleging that Trump falsified business records to cover up three other crimes, i.e., federal election law violations. However, Judge Dumbass apparently instructed the jury that they did not have to reach a unanimous verdict on any of the underlying violations as long as any combination of jurors unanimously agreed that he committed any combination of the underlying violations. In other words, the jury could find him guilty of a felony even if less than twelve jurors found him guilty on each of the underlying violations.

Except that the actions of the ledger entry impropriety/error were done when he was President and not done by Trump whatsoever. So this fool Colombian judge had better do— nothing- talk about risk to himself. Correct thing to do is vacate the case entirely. It’s over, the 34 “felonies” are not felonies except after the fact legislation by the NY legislature. Which is actionable when directed at the supposed actions of a President while in office.

Since it was from the Revocable Trust, the Grantor has to have approved the payments, and they haven’t shown that. They’ve shown payments to the human fecal pile Cohen who did not, clearly pay the “NDA personage”. He lied on the stand several times from prior “testimony”. He stole the money which was labeled/ledgered as “legal fees” which. they. were. Case over.

He’s already protected by Stage III dementia- doesn’t remember crap, and will get much worse at remembering to even feel any pressure. The dumb look of a stupid drooling hound. No sweat for this SCOTUS.

Good post. Lots of technicalities involved but we all sense a wind change.

What a lovely breeze...

SCOTUS calls out Judge Chutkan's sloppy handling of the case:

From the Opinion:

The concerns we noted at the outset—the expedition of this case, the lack of factual analysis by the lower courts, and the absence of pertinent briefing by the parties—thus become more prominent. We accordingly remand to the District Court to determine in the first instance—with the benefit of briefing we lack—whether Trump’s conduct in this area qualifies as official or unofficial.

All over social media, the left is showing us who they are and it is not a pretty sight.

They are calling for Biden to immediately lock Trump in prison. Or to call out Seal Team 6 and drone him, and all other type nasty scenarios while stating Biden has immunity.

None have read the Opinion. All they know is that they were thwarted one more time in their quest to “getorangemanbad”.

It is not part of his official duties, so no, he would not be immune from prosecution

Yep, this is Obama’s third term and his (and his Marxist buddies) agenda to destroy our nation continues. Their problem now though is President Trump. Pray for his safety and for protection from evil forces!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AMEN!!! PRaying much for Trump's safety right now!!

Fox News reporting that AOC says she's filing impeachment charges against SCOTUS "when she gets back," whatever that means.
