Trumps DC trial suspended indefinitely

[bambino]

Hard to predict such things, but we'll go for it:

We find it more likely than not that the Supreme Court does not rule on the immunity issue before the 2024 election. This will allow the Court to defer making a ruling on a novel question of first impression (Presidential immunity from criminal prosecution) that will have significant consequences. Should Trump be elected, he will have the power to pardon himself. Should he lose the election, the Court can make its ruling after that time. The Court isn't in a rush to decide this issue, and such a strategy will keep it from making an election-altering decision. The Court is sensitive to its public perception and generally doesn't want to insert itself into electoral matters.

Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rejects President's Trump request to dismiss his DC indictment.

Quote: "Any executive immunity that may have protected him while he served as President no longer protects him against this prosecution."

This will be headed to the Supreme Court. The DC case will not go to trial before the election.

Yeah, and if the Supreme Court wasn't illegitimately stacked with cowardly lackeys, they'd be ruling on this decision of utmost importance IMMEDIATELY. But they are fucking cowards. A bunch of cucks for a lifelong criminal shitbag who is inexplicably allowed to run for POTUS again.

the E. Jean Carroll case.

He is indeed Salty.

There has been a pattern here lately of numerous people on the left posting blatantly false stories and claims. Really sad and ridiculous

The DC case will not proceed until SCOTUS has a chance to weigh in

How is it illegitimate? Trump and other presidents nominated justices who were confirmed by the senate. That’s how it works. Your butthurt doesn’t make them illegitimate

How is it illegitimate?

The same corrupt piece of shit Senator from Kentucky who blocked Obama's nomination with 11 months to go before an election (claiming "we must let the people decide"), also fast-tracked trump's nomination with less than 3 months to go before an election, while RBG's body was still warm.

And another judge mysteriously "resigned" just in time for trump to cheat his way into another pick. You might want to read the back story on that one. Absolutely filthy corruption and back scratching going on there.

So much for "letting the people decide". Today's SCOTUS is entirely corrupted by Republican poison. I wouldn't trust them to judge a beauty pageant.

Wielding political power granted by the citizens isn’t corrupt or illegitimate, it’s how the system intentionally works. It worked against the guys you favor this time. Suck it up, buttercup.

Nice dodge there. Completely ignoring the utter hypocrisy of it all. Not that I expected any less.
