The court was scheduled to discuss the cases in their regular private meeting on Friday. But the meeting was canceled following the death of retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

The justices will now consider the cases at a later date, possibly as soon as next Friday.

They’ll see Trump’s name and won’t hear it.

Now, Joe, they live to ride in and save his ass, 24 x 7 / 365.

A Texas man charged with invading the Capitol and threatening Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Monday that he was effectively following then-President Donald Trump’s orders when he joined a mob that stormed Congress on Jan. 6.

Garret Miller also apologized to Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., for writing “Assassinate AOC” in a Twitter post. He said he would be willing to testify to Congress or in a trial about the riot....

I don’t have much hope the Court of Supreme Whim will do the right thing. They let us down in Texas vs. Pennsylvania.

Something noteworthy. I was watching the floor live as it went down. Certification was not interrupted, “Challenge” was interrupted. This is why Pelosi arranged it, the election was about to be officially and legally challenged. The shot rang out and the floor was cleared right in the middle of the last representative needed to successfully challenge. That rep was Paul Gosar.

The Supreme Court already ruled in 2015 a President cannot be held legally liable for anything as President of the United States.

So it will be interesting if they change their minds.

Courts are turning into code word for agendas another democrat domino chaos event.

Not one word about the substance of the appeal.

According to this section of the US Code, President Trump's speech on January 6 does not meet the definition of incitement to riot. How can it then meet the definition of an insurrection?

In 18 U.S. Code Chapter 102 - RIOTS, specifically 18 U.S. Code § 2102 - Definitions, is this:

(b) As used in this chapter, the term “to incite a riot”, or “to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot”, includes, but is not limited to, urging or instigating other persons to riot, but shall not be deemed to mean the mere oral or written (1) advocacy of ideas or (2) expression of belief, not involving advocacy of any act or acts of violence or assertion of the rightness of, or the right to commit, any such act or acts.

President Trump spoke of his belief that he won the election, and then asked the attendees to peacefully walk to the Capitol to show the lawmakers their support for President Trump. That meets the exception to the "to incite a riot" definition.

Does SCOTUS have the courage to acknowledge...and rule...that what we've seen regarding January 6th is a case of prosecutorial misconduct on a scale similar to what one routinely saw in East Germany?
