BREAKING: Trump's July 11th sentencing likely to be delayed indefinitely

[Lesh]

They have to delay. If you sentence him, that starts the appeal process. It would be overturned by the Supreme Court prior to the election. Taking away the felon ploy.

There is no basis for the SC to over turn this STATE ruling but after what they just did

Who the **** knows

The state decided to enforce a federal law, which sounds like a decent basis to overturn.

Sure there is, lack of due process on the choose your own adventure mystery crime. Allowing a jury to mix and match without unanimous agreement as to the alleged mystery crime. In case you missed it, the Court put juries back in the spotlight this term. Abusing that for political persecution isn't likely to sit well with the Robert's Court.

It was unlikely left out of the constitution, as The President was not supposed to be above the law. This is a new ruling from the Supremes with no basis in The Constitution, created whole cloth. The Supremes going completely of the reservation, creating law from the bench.

The president was always intended to be answerable to the law. All you had to do was have the House impeach him and the Senate convict him of one of a very short series of crimes laid out in the Constitution. Then he would be stripped of his protection and civil law enforcement could charge him. Of course, until Trump, no ex-president was ever charged with a crime despite many being corrupt, or at least complicent in corruption like U.S. Grant was among others.

Keep the faith!
Nothing is set in stone anymore now that the Scotus has rightfully restored the absolute power of a president.

How could this have been left unattended to for over 350 years?

All SCOTUS did was to reaffirm that the president has the same transactional immunity that Representatives, Senators and judges have.

 

[AZrailwhale]

Since when is paying "hush money to a porn star" in any way an official act. Added to which, it was done BEFORE the election.

It’s also perfectly legal. Congress has a special fund to pay hush money to aides and interns subjected to sexual harassment by its members.

Haha wait do you think state cases never get heard by the scotus? Hahaha

I think after this past week and today, it may be necessary to collect belts and shoelaces from the lefties.

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his prosecution team have agreed to delay scheduled sentencing for former President Donald Trump on July 11 after the Supreme Court ruled Monday U.S. presidents have immunity for "official acts.” On Monday night Trump’s legal team filed a letter with Judge Juan Merchan to have 34 convictions in the case tossed out, citing the Supreme Court’s opinion.

"Although the Manhattan case does not center on Mr. Trump’s presidency or official acts — but rather personal activity during his campaign — his lawyers argued on Monday that prosecutors had built their case partly on evidence from his time in the White House,” the New York Times reports. “And under the Supreme Court’s new ruling, prosecutors not only cannot charge a president for any official acts, but also cannot cite evidence involving official acts to bolster other accusations."

don't you believe it. The dems are just regrouping before a counter attack

 

[my2¢]

I never thought any of Trump's trials had anything to do with justice. The longer litigation lasts the more these things hang over Trump's head and more of his donor's political donations are syphoned off to his lawyers. And most importantly for the Democrats, as long as things aren't settled it keeps the focus on that litigation and off real issues facing the country.

Why do foreign dignitaries, ambassadors and their staff have diplomatic immunity?

On many things, they should not, in my opinion.

Yes, they've gone off the res, but they 'are' the final word in the land. At least you're coming to realize that America has a very big problem.

This is important enough to pick up from where we left off yesterday.

Obviously the Fanding Fouthers left it wide open for a future Scotus to fill the void.

Somehow they understood the power of the monarchy couldn't survive in America, but they had no ideas on how to limit a president's power.

The corrupt Scotus has answered the question and now there's a chance that it's permanent.

What to do, what to do? It was always evident that each individual question as they arise, can't be answered by the Scotus.

Any ideas?

 

[Donald H]

Just because the prosecution agreed to allow convicted felon Trump to file this motion does not mean it is guaranteed to honor or even consider it.
In fact it probably won't make a bit of difference other than going into the procedural record to bolster the case against Trump by demonstrating that his defense was given every opportunity available to plead his case.

You don't seem to realize that the Scotus has absolute power to establish the laws of the land.

there's only one way out of this mess created by the F'ing Fouthers napping and that is to abolish all special rights for a president.

 

[Missourian]

Ok. Appreciate your opinion.

But they do have and have had it.

The question is why do they have diplomatic immunity?

 

[Donald H]

Don't come to reckless conclusions.

Those conclusions aren't representative of the mess we're trying to discuss here.

You've demonstrated that you understand the situation. Don't take it to becoming misunderstood by being sidetracked into a different topic of diplomatic immunity.

 

[Donald H]

Ok. Appreciate your opinion.

But they do have and have had it.

Don't stray off topic. The real question is deadly urgent and there doesn't appear to be a way out as long as the current Scotus exists.

Any ideas?

A future president abolishing the Scotus?
He will have the power!

The topic is immunity.

Y'all are running around like your hair is on fire and yer asses are catchin'...

But we've had unfettered immunity in some form for diplomats, dignitaries and their staff in this country for almost 200 years.


So answer the question and don't deflect.

Why do diplomats have diplomatic immunity?

 

[Donald H]

America's government failed to act decisively when faced with an attempted coup.

That rewrote history and has led to numerous issues and unsolvable problems that can't be solved by strictly judicial means.

This is where the newly granted powers to presidents can fall off the democratic tracks.

On a hopeful note, it appears that Biden won't be around to make use of the dictatorial powers. America is granted 4 months to fix what the Scotus broke!

You're off topic. Make me a moderator and I'll deal with the problem.

You understand the issue here and there's no need to allow yourself to be sidetracked just because you have no ideas.

Life's a ***** White, but this is probably the first issue in years in which all but a few spammers are trying to find an answer.

You understand!

I don't think this means very much.

Election interference charges filed on Merchan and Bragg and all the ADA's involved would be something.
