It's down to us.

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.
LOL. Why are you against Democracy?
 
How about double O buck to the head if you try?
BRING IT!!!!!!!! :dev3:
I personally won't try, it will be the US Military and Law Enforcement that will dispatch you, not me. I will be safely here at home watching you get cut to pieces on television or on YouTube, enjoying some delicious, buttered popcorn.
 
Your belief that the military and law enforcement will side with y ou commies IS A FUCKING JOKE!!!!!
We communists are law abiding citizens, you dumb trailer-park MAGA-hat hillbillies aren't apparently. You're going to take up arms against the US Government and you think you're going to win? Duh, you're a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Yeah you won't because you're all TALK.
The military and law enforcement are sworn to THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, not your pussy boy communist manifesto, idiot.
 
Didn't you read the OP?
It's up to YOU now!
Whatchya gonna do about us "deplorables"?
Go ahead and tell, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT US "DEPLORABLES"??????????????????

Lock them up!
Lock them up!
 
LOL, not according to recent polls
I'm not worried about polls this far out. Once Nikki Haley voters come to terms with the fact that Trump will be the GOP nominee then we'll get a better sense of where we're at but, no, I'm not at all worried about Trump.

I don't have to kill you if you take up arms, because I pay my taxes, and the salaries of those who will do it for me (i.e. military, police). You're a delusional punk retard. Do you actually believe most of the country supports you and your ilk? You're fucking stupid. I do hope you're dumb enough to take up arms, that way the country can get rid of its white, racist trailer-park red-neck trash. Good riddance.
 
Liberals are the only ones who accomplish anything in our society.
In case you didn’t notice, Liberals created this country.
then why are liberals of today shitting on the constitution? Why do they support open borders? Why do they look the other way when Bicen commits bribery and treason? Why is Menendez still walking free?
 
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.
The idea impeachment is a reliable remedy for anything was shattered by Senate Repubs, twice. Only the threat of legal accountability can hold a prez's actions in check while in office. Otherwise, perhaps Joe could send Seal Team 9 to MAL without fear of legal consequence.
