No, I’m not. Where does that come from?
By saying it benefits everyone but Trump. The date of the trial was specifically selected to inflict maximum damage to the GOP. Not just Trump. If that trial stays on track and Trump is convicted, it will rip the soul out of the GOP.
quote:
The question of whether he can even be indicted with these charges at all is a threshold issue that would kill the charges if SCOTUS ruled in Trump’s favor.
His chases of the SCOTUS getting him out of this are slim. Even if they know it’s kangaroo court, the conservative judges are not activists like their counterparts. All they can do is interpret the law.

Going into an election with one candidate facing charges that may not even be legal and are potentially (as the other side will argue) disqualifying for office is just an unnecessary shite-show.
But it’s a good shitshow for the Dems who intend to slide in a replacement nominee. All the attention will be on Trump, not whatever authoritarian they’ve nominated.

In so saying—I was referring to the electorate broadly. Not the DNC or Biden, etc.

I mean yea. But that’s just the hand that’s being played. Doesn’t mean that SCOTUS shouldn’t hear the threshold issue now.

None of this is a compelling legal reason to delay SCOTUS addressing the issue.
The question of whether Trump can be indicted at all for these charges needs to be address as soon as possible because having that question linger over the election is just begging for a disaster.
Decide the threshold question, regardless of how it lands.
