Time for a constitutional crisis.
Tell Mershon to go to Hell’s Kitchen.

Proving that US "justice" is just a kangaroo clown show enforced by armed gunthugs.

Not much different than cartel justice south of the border.

Trump should refuse to show up for this nonsense. What’s Merchan going to do about it?

With two terrorist bombings just happening the country has other serious concerns on its mind that it wants the incoming president to focus on.

Will this be used as an excuse not to certify on January 6?

Good. Trump cannot appeal until he has been sentenced.

The judge has already stated that he is going to issue an unconditional discharge.

Here's what that means according to New York law:

Section 65.20 - Sentence of unconditional discharge
1. Criteria. The court may impose a sentence of unconditional discharge in any case where it is authorized to impose a sentence of conditional discharge under section 65.05 if the court is of the opinion that no proper purpose would be served by imposing any condition upon the defendant's release.
When a sentence of unconditional discharge is imposed for a felony, the court shall set forth in the record the reasons for its action.

2. Sentence. When the court imposes a sentence of unconditional discharge, the defendant shall be released with respect to the conviction for which the sentence is imposed without imprisonment, fine or probation supervision. A sentence of unconditional discharge is for all purposes a final judgment of conviction.
N.Y. Penal Law § 65.20

This means the conviction stands until it is overturned on appeal.
