Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
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!

Could not a citizen in another state file a complaint stating election interference by NYS?
Judge Merchan said Trump violated FEDERAL Election Laws.
Then he denied Trump calling the preeminent expert on Federal Election Law in the country.
He violated his sixth amendment rights. It’s a Federal issue, only SCOTUS can decide.
After that Bragg and Merchan need to be prosecuted for prosecutorial and judicial misconduct, convicted, disbarred, and made an example out of in law schools. That will have to wait.
I believe Mark Levin is right. I listened to his comments earlier on this and it MUST be done.
The USSC doesn’t “act”, it decides cases. If Trump wants them to decide his case he should bring an appeal and then not publicly harangue them. Leave that to his supporters.
NY Justices are not qualified to decide whether Trump violated Federal Law, and it’s outside their jurisdiction.
There literally has never been a case like this before in history.
And implicit and basic in law is that Federal Laws supersedes State laws.
This was all coordinated and they didn’t want to leave any possibility Trump could avoid a Felony, so they included the Federal Election Laws that he was never charged with and the only other case charged Federally ended in acquittal, with the court saying it was not a violation of Federal Law.
Oh my!!! That brought tears to my eyes and was one of the best I’ve seen yet!!
Thank you!
Not until Florida Supremes ruled on December 8, ordered a statewide recount of all undervotes, over 61,000 ballots that the vote tabulation machines had missed.
Bush had no further place to go but SCOTUS, hence Bush v. Gore.
the Court ruled, strictly on equal protection grounds, that the recount be stopped. Specifically, it held that the use of different standards of counting in different counties violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution;
Not sure how Bush v. Gore get’s Pres. Trump’s foot in the SCOTUS door.
The GOPee is full of cowards. Most have the Trey Gowdy syndrome; all wind up, no pitch. There are 8 Senators who recently signed a letter agreeing they would do everything possible to stop anything Biden proposed that required Senate approval. 8 was all the GOPee Senators that would sign up. If DJT is elected he will be dealing with the RATs, cowards and RINO’s. The GOPee Congress is the same. God bless DJT. He needs Divine intervention. Few of the GOPee will do anything to right what’s been done to this country. They’re all afraid.

If the USSC takes it, don’t expect a slam dunk. We can only afford to lose one of Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.
Yes, they are a third Branch of our Constitutional Republic- and if they want to stay being a 3rd branch they must ACT against “county judges” interfering with a national election because they think they can.
Right. It is not a simple cut and dried “wait 10 months for New York appeals” matter.
As Mark Levin said 6/2/24 on his TV show, the basic constitutional rights of Trump and us were denied under the way the case was handled by Merchan. A state (actually a portion of a state) trying to establish which rights are allowed for the national US Constitution’s protection of citizens. Denied to Trump means denied to all of us someday.
Used James Madison’s arguments but they apply to 2024.
The Speaker of the House should send an official letter to the Supreme Court, and the Chief Justice will have to respond.Senate leadership and state Governors also should send official letters.
It would be a waste of time, effort and paper.
Ever since President Washington asked Chief Justice John Jay to provide an advisory opinion in 1793, the Court has told everyone that the Court has no authority to issue advisory opinions. Its authority is to decide cases or controversies brought to the Court.
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artIII-S2-C1-4-2/ALDE_00013564/
The Supreme Court produced the second early precedent against advisory opinions in 1793. In that year, President George Washington, seeking to determine the United States’ legal rights and obligations in relation to ongoing conflicts between the European powers of France and Britain, sent a letter through his Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, to the Justices of the Supreme Court. The letter asked if the Justices would be willing to render opinions on a number of legal questions of considerable difficulty that do not give a cognizance of them to the tribunals of the country. The Justices declined to provide an answer. Chief Justice John Jay drafted a response to the President explaining that [t]he lines of separation drawn by the Constitution between the three departments of government . . . and our being judges of a court in the last resort . . . are considerations which afford strong arguments against the propriety of our extrajudicially deciding the questions alluded to. Although the letter was not an official opinion of the Court, the Court has since cited it as a major source of the rule against advisory opinions.
The Federal Act covering the Federal election violations that Merchan gave in the Jury instructions has lots of hurdles.
Merchan lists it as: A Violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act.
See that, a Violation of Federal Law.
That Federal Act says:
“The government has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt a “knowing and willful” violation of FECA. “
Other examples of over $1,000,000 have been ruled as non-violations with no need to report them.
The Justice Dept rule has been that the FEC has to agree wholeheartedly that there is a clear violation before Justice brings a case.
There are a lot of people going by what’s said by George Conway on MSNBC, but Merchan’s instructions stated: “A Violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act.”
We’re not talking NY Law. We’re not talking intent but not execution - we’re talking violating the Federal Act which necessitates that Trump knew the intricacies of Federal Campaign Law, and that his sole motivation was for the election. If 1% was to keep it from his kid, there is no violation of Federal Law.
I suspect Bragg convinced Merchan to go that Jury Instruction route, and it was a huge screwup.
What the heck is a “writ of common law”?

There is no federal common law. The Supreme Court’s jurisdiction is defined by the Constitution and by federal statutes.
I am a board certified appellate lawyer. Jim is right.
