The “Sentencing” for not having done anything wrong will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention. A Radical Left Soros backed D.A., who ran on a platform of “I will get Trump,” reporting to an “Acting” Local Judge, appointed by the Democrats, who is HIGHLY CONFLICTED, will make a decision which will determine the future of our Nation? The United States Supreme Court MUST DECIDE!

There is no Federal Presidential election.
Look in the Constitution. It’s not there.
50 State Legislatures, acting separately, appoint 535 Electors. Congress appoints 3 since 1960.
Those 538 individuals choose the President.
The Founders debated AT LENGTH ways to involve, or not involve, Congress in the process, and they finally abandoned the Westminster system completely and put the States in charge.
What was the point of them doing that if we were only going to wind up with what you and others are calling a “Federal election”?
An appeal delayed is an appeal denied. Then take it to SCOTUS.
The convention should be moved up a week. Let’s see “Judge” Moron has the balls to jail the actual, official nominee of the Republican Party.
“ What, about this specific case, REMOTELY gives the USSC jurisdiction before NY appeals are done?
Nothing, is what.”

If he is the official nominee before the sentencing hearing, that calculus will likely change.
Look up "Presidential elections" in the Constitution and get back to us.
The denial of due process. File writ of common law. Not hard.
Actually. If a state sues another state, this is the only case where the USSC is the court of original jurisdiction. Only the USSC can hold a trial on these questions. That is a hell of an idea.
Obviously the Trump team would have to petition the court.
In a disastrous expansion of Federal power thta they never should have done.
If the Constitution had been followed instead, there was ZERO chance that Al Gore would have become President (unless Republicans in Congress elected him). There was a small chance Joe Lieberman could have become VP.
OK, smart guy.
Get back to us when the Supreme Court takes a direct appeal from a State trial court.
That's because you and your family belong to the FR Imaginary Republican Party.
You just haven't spent enough time studying Real Republicans. If you had, you would understand.
Actually Article IIII section 2 of the constitution enumerates the power of the Supreme Court that I of original jurisdiction in causes where a state is the party, but the USSC can turf this to a lower federal court. However, the USSC is the court of EXCLUSIVE jurisdiction in cases where a state sues a state.
What bars Texas or florida or Alabama from filing lawsuit against the state if New York ok grounds that the legislature who appoints the electors are being violated by New York in not having the option of voting for Trump? Seems to me that in reading the rule book the USSC can be forced into takin up the issue.
Going the road of writ of common laws, it seems that it can be filed, but the court must grant cert. (4 justices). State v state compels to court to hear it.
Some people are slandering me by turning me into a Bush fan.
Don't understand why. I've voted for Trump four times and I am voting for him in November unless they kill him first.
Texas already lost a case like that in 2020.
Texas has the right to appoint 40 Trump Electors to participate in the multi-state process of choosing a President on December 9, 2024.
Nothing has happened, or will happen, to interfere with that right. That’s the ONLY right Texas has, though.
They tried to sue, I think, Michigan and the Court ruled (correctly) that the appointment of Electors is a sovereign power of each State and no State has any role in how another State does it.
Bush v. Gore was wrongly accepted and wrongly decided, and the Court is NEVER going there again.
Please open your Constitution, and when you find “political party”, “official nominee”, or “presidential election”, come on back and we can discuss those things.
Texas sued Michgan in 2020 and the USSC ruled every State is sovereign as regards appointment of electors, no State has standing to challenge another State’s process - and Texas is free to appoint whatever Electors they choose in November, so what happened in a NY court affects Texas not at all.
The Texas Legislature has an absolute right to appoint 40 Trump Electors, they could do that right now in fact although those Electors could not vote until December.
Nothing NY has done or could do impairs the plenary power of appointing Electors for Texas that belongs to the Legislature.
