There should be a compelling case to be made that the leading candidate for the US presidency, a man who is granted statutory protection from the Secret Service should not be put in jail.
The US Supreme Court has ultimate jurisdiction over all criminal cases in the US. They rarely get involved until appeals have gone though the lower courts, but they aren't required to do that. Bush v. Gore in 2000 was fast tracked because the timing was critical to the functioning of the government.
If ever there was an emergency case, this would be it.
Both Colorado and Fla involved ballot and voting issues. This involves a ludicrous failure to report a legal expenditure of a myriad of state business forms. scotus involves itself in issues where fedral law is in question, state law conflicts with federal law, and the denial or limitation of civil rights or liberties by state law. The only avenue I see here is to file a claim under Art I Sec 9 clause 3 and the 14th Amendment claiming bill of attainder.
Bragg’s case in Manhattan presents a substantial risk. An individual, let alone a former president, could be convicted for an underlying federal crime that the FEC might conclude was anything but.[May already be the case] The Bragg case threatens due process by allowing state prosecutors to enforce federal law without the procedural protections afforded by the federal government. It sends the signal that when Congress passes laws, zealous state prosecutors can enforce them at will without accountability. And if it can happen to a former commander in chief, it can happen to anyone.
Bragg's sedition must go to the SCOTUS, asap.
Do you mean BY the Secret Service, not from? The Secret Service isn't after him, too, now? ;-)
