The Supreme Court doesn’t just “step in,” but he is appealing his case.

To quote e.e. cummings:

"so rah-rah-rah democracy
let's all be as thankful as hell
and bury the statue of liberty
(because it begins to smell)"

It’s time to shut down the NY court system. Look what they’re doing to President Trump.

[[How can someone be fooled by a meme?]]

Apparently stupid people are protected when they do stupid things now like believing a meme I stead of going out and fi ding out for themselves if the meme is true or not.

It used to be “buyer beware “ meaning people,we’re responsible for finding out the truth for themsleves- now evidently stupid people who cant think for themselves don’t have to bother being careful anymore.

Exzctly- great point. But we know liberals exempt themselves from the laws they impose on conservatives. There is definately a two-tiered legal system

If someone has only Tweeted to Abraham Lincoln in 1865......

Oops bed time 💤💤💤 LOL 😪😆

Just a dream.

Uberman: I am.. Uberman! I have superhuman powers, and I fight for untruth, injustice, and the Nazi way! And I have X-ray vision!

Lois Laneoff: X-ray vision? Can you see through my clothes?

Uberman: Ya! And through his, too. [ points at Jimmy Olstein ] He’s a Jew!

Jimmy Olstein: No! No, it’s not true! My parents were just very advanced in hygeine, that’s all..!

Hitler: Silence! Guard, take this Jew away!

Uberman: No need! I’ll drop him off at the camp on my vay to the Eastern front!

“How can someone be fooled by a meme?”

Even if they ARE fooled by a meme, what is the crime? He didn’t prevent them from voting, he didn’t stand in front of a polling place with a baseball bat or baton (like Black Panthers).

This is the most absurd, unconstitutional ruling I’ve ever seen.

[dfwgator]

Basically it’s admitting that Democrats are stupid.

“...injure, oppress, threaten and intimidate one or more persons in the free exercise and enjoyment of a right and privilege secured to them by the Constitution...”

Interesting that while the right to vote is somewhat secured by the Constitution only a few people, the Electors, actually have the right to vote for President.

On the other hand, the right to keep and bear arms is specifically recognized by the Constitution, yet no one seems to be looking at prison time for conspiring injure, oppress, threaten and intimidate people from exercise that right.

Or any place in the MSM selective justice I guess.

“More evidence we’ve crossed the Rubicon.”

As long as the good christian right has their nose buried in a smartphone then all is well with the country.

They should have to provide at least some number of victims to “have standing”. Otherwise, it should be thrown out - just as the PDJT fraud lawsuits were.

[EnderWiggin1970]

Assuming this is a felony this fellow was convicted of, he's being deprived of his right to vote, for an utterly stupid claim that he somehow "deprived" people of their right to vote with online commentary.

In other words the hypocritical prosecutors and judge are guilty of PRECISELY what they accused/convicted him of doing. And they actually did it, whereas no sane person would say someone was deprived of the ability to vote because of something they read online.

Welcome to Amerika.
