It's down to us.

[berg80]

Never again do I want to hear about how Trump is being treated unfairly by the justice system. The SC is his backstop. It's in his pocket. There is no other way to look at the conservative's acceptance of the immunity case.

 

[Red Front]

Ahhh yes, the old................"if we only had our people in charge..............

Every single political movement including the GOP's right-wing conservative agenda, is about that.

Accusations are not proof

Of what?

When are they going to present it?

Most Americans don't want Trump as their president, so you wouldn't be serving the American public if you somehow forced Trump down everyone's throat. Of course, you can't do that. You'll never achieve anything trying to force Trump into the White House, and if you're foolish enough to resort to violance you'll get ripped to pieces by the US Military and Law Enforcement.

But the more the American public dislikes the cause and affect of the Biden administration policies and edicts, the better Trump looks.

Of what?

That they were knocking boots before she awarded him a government contract.

 

[Rawley]

When are they going to present it?

Done. Haven't been following it, huh?

 

[Lesh]

That they were knocking boots before she awarded him a government contract.

Ummm… nope. Try as they might they could not prove that

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

You're too stupid to convince the majority of Americans that Trump should be president. You're even dumber if you believe you can force Trump into the White House.

You missed my point. Therefore you have no room to assess intellect.
How is recognizing propagated mob-think of urban areas a means to ‘force’ trump into office?

 

[IDIOCRACY]

In the grand scheme of things I suppose it always has been.

By now I should have known better than to be shocked by the Court's decision to take on the Trump immunity case. But I still was. The very fact that the court is taking up this case with absolutely, unequivocally, no merit means in no uncertain terms that the conservative majority is doing what it can to make sure that Jack Smith's prosecution of Trump for the failed insurrection will not occur before the election. They are with him. Do they really think the American public will not see this for what it is? Delay is a victory for Trump and a defeat for justice. Something the conservatives understand implicitly.

Beyond the absurdity of taking the case in the first place is the way they have laid out the schedule. Oral arguments do not begin until April 22nd. An inexplicable delay after taking two and a half weeks to decide to take the case. This, after Smith asked the Court to decide whether to take it prior to the appellate court's unanimous decision no President has such immunity after being thrown out at the district court level.

Jack Smith, the special counsel prosecuting former President Donald J. Trump on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election, urged the Supreme Court on Wednesday to reject a request from Mr. Trump to put the case on hold while he pursues appeals.

“Delay in the resolution of these charges threatens to frustrate the public interest in a speedy and fair verdict — a compelling interest in every criminal case and one that has unique national importance here, as it involves federal criminal charges against a former president for alleged criminal efforts to overturn the results of the presidential election, including through the use of official power,” Mr. Smith wrote.
Special Counsel Asks Supreme Court to Move Quickly in Trump Immunity Case

The Court's ruling on the case is all but a foregone conclusion. It is not legally possible for the Court to claim that presidents have lifetime immunity from criminal prosecution for crimes they commit while in office. Trump's contention the administration of elections falls within the scope of his official duties being laughable. So instead, their strategy is to ensure that the American people will be denied knowing what the verdict in the case is before they cast their votes. Because the trial that was set to begin just days from now in early March is now on hold. In 7 weeks oral arguments will start. Even if the Court were to make an expedited ruling (not likely since it would defeat the purpose of the conservatives) Judge Chutkan will be up against the DoJ prohibition of not engaging in actions so close to an election that it could influence the outcome. The prohibition Repub Jim Comey violated before the 2016 election. It's as though the conservatives were looking at a calendar to inform their decisions. Of course they were.

So, it's down to us. The institutions of government in the era of Trumpery are no longer aligned with the public's interest in preserving democracy. We, that is those of us who see what is happening and know what is at stake, must save ourselves now. The entity riding to the rescue is us.........or it all comes down.

What a cry-fest. Ah, it's the liberals against the entire world he says. You're making the sound of a snowflake melting, sizzle sizzle sizzle, gone.............

Why wouldn't SCOTUS hear the case considering Trump's responsibility for your erection an insurrection is MAKE BELIEVE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

And it doesn't matter what the SCOTUS decides. My feeling is they'll decide that Trump is not immune. At the end of the day your erection the insurrection is pretend, la-la-land, willie wonka chocolate factory, alice in wonderland make-believe. Trump will NEVER NEVER be found guilty of your erection an insurrection, it's 100% BS to entertain tiny heads like yours.

But cry some more, waaaaaaaaaaaaa.........Funny how when it comes to Trump, basic human rights don't count and we're supposed to trust the govt. You guys couldn't be more intellectually dishonest.

 

[Rawley]

Ummm… nope. Try as they might they could not prove that

Good luck with that. They are clearly going to be disqualified from this case. They very well could be disbarred. THe only question is what the next prosecutor will do. IMHO, most, if not all of the charges will be dropped. The RICO charge is ridiculous. The others are simply questionable.

 

[Red Front]

You're assuming country bumpkins are smart and "true Americans" and city folks are stupid and unamerican. So if anyone doesn't have any "room to assess intellect" it's you. Your thinking is no less "mob think" or influenced by others than urbanites, you're just too dumb to recognize that. You think dumb trailer-park trash rednecks aren't influenced by their "mob"? Idiot.

Again, you miss the point. Urbanites have different concerns from non-urbanites and as a result often don’t consider these distinctions. Urban propaganda reinforces this. Since a majority of numbers live in urban areas it stands to reason that they outnumber those non-urbanites with different concerns.
All the urbanites have to do is vet their info. But they don’t because they’re obviously slow-witted sheep.

Trump 2024: I'm too Pretty to go to Prison!


The court is giving Trump a gift by delaying this until the Summer, to be sure, when this is a slam dunk case. No one will believe that the Court will grant Presidents absolute immunity, with impeachment being the only remedy. Even this court isn't that reckless.

But by dragging its feet, they will make it harder to get a conviction on the two federal charges by summer. The trials might start before then, however, and that might be bad for Trump.

But at the end of the day, it's not up to the courts to stop Trump, it's up to the voters.

Nah, just not guilty of any crime.

Not that you stalinists care about whether a person is innocent.

Yours is the Party of "show me the person, I will find the crime" after all.

 

[Rawley]

We ask for proof and we get that spew…

I gave you proof, you ignored it.

I think we will still see a trial by summer, maybe a few.
The DOJ is not bound to that "no trials close to the election" tradition.
It is just an unofficial guideline for normal circumstances and Trump's circumstance is far from normal.
Trump's own stalling tactics have assured that he'll be in a courtroom on election day.
Besides, he'll already be a convicted felon by then from the hush money trial beginning next month.

 

[hadit]

Do you want to know the verdict in the 1/6 case before casting your vote or doesn't it matter? Because the SC clearly doesn't want you to go to the voting booth armed with that information.

Sorry to be redundant, but this case should never have been taken by the conservatives.

No need for deliberation then, just straight to sentencing?
