Judge Merchan

[Delldude]

Merchan and Bragg moving to suspend the case. Trump's under the supremacy clause now.

New York prosecutors are requesting a stay until at least 2029 in New York v. Trump, as the president's defense attorneys prepare to move to dismiss the case entirely.

Prosecutors wrote a letter to Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday, who agreed last week to grant a stay on all deadlines associated with the conviction proceedings against Trump in the final months before he takes office.

Merchan granted the request, which issues a stay on all deadlines, including the Nov. 26 sentencing date, to consider the effect of his election as president.

When this case goes to its legal end - which may never happen - Merchan will be exposed as a partisan scoundrel. He not only should be censured, he should be disciplined and have his Bar Association membership revoked. Indeed, he should be criminally charged with election interference.

But none of this will happen because he will "take the high road" and let President Trump off the hook.

It is nauseating.

It all fizzed out, as predicted

Basically, they will take it back up when Trump slithers out of office, if the ranking attorney in 2029 so chooses.

Same will happen in Georgia.

Yet you couldn't argue why if your life depended.on it.

They'll all be someplace else by then.

Go get the corrupt judge Merchan.... Gaetz... and don't let up till he and Bragg and Tish are in prison...

No chance. Team Trump will get this resolved by appealing Marchan’s choice to have it all hanging over the President’s head.

Unless he dismisses the case (by granting a trial order of dismissal), Trump will prevail on appeal of that decision.

If Marchan has found his way to sanity, he will refrain from continuing his judicial misbehavior and Instead swiftly terminate this case.

And criminal cases remain. DAs like Bragg are elected every few years. Criminal cases don't just go away, when new DAs take office.

Uh, that's what a stay is. You can't appeal a stay on the grounds that the case is stayed, haha.

You can indeed appeal a “stay.”

A stay (in this case) amounts to a refusal of a court to rule upon the motion of the defendant to dismiss the case. But

The accused has a right to a determination and judges are in fact obliged to issue decisions within a reasonable period of time.

This isn’t just a statutory right of the defendant. It is a Constitutionally protected right of due process.

You can indeed appeal a “stay.”

Not on the grounds that it is a stay. You need something special. Not what everyone who gets a stay experiences.
Sometimes stays last forever.

He actually has a face saver. He can dismiss the case because of the evidence introduced at at trial which was improper due to the immunity decision. Prosecution heavily relied on this improper evidence in their closing argument. No way to un-ring that bell. So he leaves up to Bragg whether or not he wants to retry the case after the President leaves office.

He is already attempting that. That's the next decision by Merchan. That's what was asked to be delayed today.

You ignore that defendants have a right to due process and equal protection.

One of those due process rights includes “speedy trial.”

Believe it or not, that includes the part involving “sentencing.” See, for example:

Betterman v. Montana, 578 U.S. 437, 136 S. Ct. 1609 (2016)(the due process basis was not raised in that case, but Justice Ginsburg noted that the result might be different if it had been raised).​

Prosecutors decide if they wish to pursue it.

No I didn't. I just stated that you cannnot successfully appeal a stay simply by complaining that it delays the case. For that is what a stay is.

The judge is a hack. His zeal to get Trump was utterly unprofessional. But yes. He could save face by taking that advice. If he is smarter than he is fair, he might do just that.

Fact.
