Question: “Your office told us that you plan to appeal the gender-affirming ruling from yesterday. So my question today, since we’re talking about the budget of taxpayer dollars, why should taxpayer dollars go to this case for the appeal?”
DeSantis’ answer: “Because it is wrong to mutilate minors”!

The same reason given for Justice Thomas retiring four years ago. Good thing he didn’t. The odds are in favor of them being alive and kicking five years from now..

I agree with your comments. Caitlin is third in three pointers and fourth in assists, but is not in the top ten in any other key statistic. As she improves, she hopefully will earn a spot on the next Olympics team.

There were many things in this trial that was unprecedented. The jury members not only did not have to agree on the underlying crime, they did not even have to state what they thought the underlying crime was. Trump was guilty because orange man bad.

The proposal is not to go directly to the Supreme Court. It is to sue Bragg and others and ask a Federal Judge to issue a temporary restraining order halting Judge Merchan from entering a judgment of guilt until the Federal court has an opportunity to review and rule on the serious Constitutional arguments that exist in this case.
I don’t know the likelihood of it being successful, but it would probably be worth a try.
The ruling is based on Section 1981 of the 1866 Civil Rights Act. The section was originally intended to prevent former slaves from being excluded in the making and enforcing of contracts. It is now being used to challenge programs intended to benefit minorities.
The evidence is overwhelming. The problem is, the evidence does not meet the burden of proof that a crime was committed. So the prosecution, with the apparent assistance of the judge, is attempting to convince the jury that they can convict based on the logical inferences that can be drawn from the evidence.

No talk. What the American public wants is action. If Biden is not doing what he can now, and there is plenty he can do, why would we think he would do anything with the passage of the bill?
“Given that no former POTUS has ever been the subject of a criminal investigation and prosecution for retaining classified information after leaving office — and as is shown by some documents obtained by the defense through Freedom of Information Act requests — there were questions raised by various individuals in the government about whether what Trump was said to have done was a prosecutable crime. Those communications are potentially exculpatory.”
