They want to send a message to all Trump supporters
“It’s worth noting that the prosecution is led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.”
Trump’s DOJ will presumably be able to file an appearance in the case and attempt to get involved in it.
To heck with the SC. Pardon incoming.
Anyone who believe the hype that the USSC is conservative is not paying attention to what they do.
Justice John Robert’s Supreme Court will remain hit and miss, at best. Whatever his agenda is, the results usually seem to favor the libs, or the decision remains vague.
It is conservative, in the sense that it wants to conserve the status and prerogatives of the court.
....all these State and Federal “judges” want the case to stay in state court because a conviction there can’t be pardoned.
He should be pushed to resign.
Have we ever had a chief justice being openly ‘pushed to resign’?
I somewhat recall Roberts’ predecessor, William Rehnquist.
I don’t think Rehnquist was hurried very much.
William Rehnquist remained Chief Justice of The Supreme Court until his death. And I don’t rember him ever being pushed to resign.
