That’s Jimmy Rustling material.

Spectrum SLO will have an aunerism trying to disprove that.

They can, but they didn’t in 2020 Steal, so they would only do it if they really felt the Dems were tipping the scale in an election… Doubt they do it, though

They'll just say that the conservatives on the Supreme Court are untrustworthy and should be feared/removed because they reversed a felony for a dictator.

"Ultimately, I think the Supreme Court, if he doesn’t win on appeal, will take this up and reverse,” the attorney said. “This is a political prosecution. We are better than this as a country and this cannot stand.”

The Heritage Foundation fellow added that whether Trump ends up behind bars is still unknown, saying “it would be shameful if this judge were to order this man to go to jail when they weren’t able to point to any victims.”

“This is so shocking and unprecedented that we’re even discussing the possibility of putting political opponents in jail in the middle of an election,” he said.

Christine Blasey Ford would pop up again for Brett Kavanaugh. Clarence Thomas would have crack planted on him. Amy Coney Barrett would be accused of having an affair. The democrats and their MSM aren't about to slow down now

I suggest you find and listen to Mark Levin’s discussion about this. The answer is yes, absolutely.

I know Levin is tough to listen to for the most part, but the man is as close to a constitutional law expert as you’ll ever find.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply a fool. Looking at you SFP

Yes, the case could be appealed to the supreme court after appeals to the NY State courts failed (if they failed).

But that is a bit misleading in that it suggests they could rule Trump's treatment to be unconstitutional. The Supreme Court doesn't have that power. They can rule the law Trump was convicted of as unconstitutional. They can rule that a former president can not be tried for crimes committed while they were not president. But they can't rule on his specific treatment in the case.

NY appeals courts can rule that the law wasn't followed properly on appeal. But if it was, the US Supreme court cannot rule on that. They don't oversee the administration of state law. They have to say the law itself is unconstitutional.

It seems like a small difference, but it's an important one. It makes it much less likely the US Supreme Court would even hear the appeal, let alone overturn a conviction by declaring the law to be unconstitutional.

John Roberts is compromised. Epstein flight list and

proper channels

ACB is compromised. Cause unknown.

They scared Cavanugh. He’s got kids.

No SC decision can be predicted

Text this to SFP Alvin.

Nobody said they couldn't.

Can they? Yes.

Will they? Unlikely, especially prior to sentencing.

So you’re saying if the political hacks in NYSC don’t overturn, he has no recourse despite ALL of the myriad ways this judge violated his civil right?

I never said the USSC couldn't. I just doubt they would create this precedent, especially since it likely won't be able to be fully completed prior to the election.

If the election is the reason for their intervention, it's rendered moot by the likely timeline of events assuming everything goes in Trump's favor (USSC takes it up, takes it up early in say July, rules quickly, etc.).
