Supreme Court thumbing the scale for Trump.

[AntonToo]

Conservative SC majority is now shedding any pretence still left to partisan impartiality.

Trump has little to stand on in his criminal trials, so his only end game is delaying them long enough to again make it to the White House and put himself above the law.

Nobody seriously thinks SC is going to grant Trump immunity, nobody thinks they will overturn iron-clad lower court ruling....but we have a Supreme Court that seems to be willing to use that excuse to play along and halt Trump's criminal trials for months, making it near impossible from them to complete before election.

It's been 135 days since Jack Smith asked the court to expedite descision on immunuty...nope! They insist on taking no less than 5 months to settle an obvious no-brainer outcome.

Even if there was some argument about how busy they are or how complex of case this is , they still didn't have to do it this way. SC could have simply allowed the trials to go on, while they square away these go-nowhere immunity claims.

In Taking Up Trump’s Immunity Claim, Supreme Court Bolstered His Delay Strategy

By scheduling a hearing for late April on the former president’s assertion that he cannot be prosecuted for his actions in office, the justices increased the chances that he will not face trial by Election Day.

We knew Thomas was an unrepentant Trumptard and Alito is not far behind, but for the rest to go along with this ridiculous shit?

This marks a whole new low for Supreme Court, whole new level of partisanship and this is not going to end well.

IF they end up holding he is immune from prosecution for felonies allegedly committed while potus, then that is a seachange from the Nixon opinion. I don't think they will, although Thomas and Alito obviously are for that. And it takes only 4 votes for the Sup Ct to take up a case.

Cannon put on the brakes for the one case that should be a slam dunk.

Fannie's focked up the Ga case .... did anyone doubt she wouldn't? lol

I don't think five Justices really want to decide if Trump can be on the ballot. And they absolutely won't do it on an "expedited" basis. And THAT wasn't the issue in Nixon. He was going to be convicted in the Senate.

Quite clear that those who are using the courts to destroy Trump are thumbing the scale and harming democracy.

So nothing.

Get lost empty head.

That is your whole post....nothing but talking points

How else can you go about holding criminality to account if not before judge and jury in a court of law?

What the hell are you talking about?

Republicans were stupid with Nixon. They actually believed the then Progs were honorable.

Thats alot more than what you have to offer, which is exactly nothing.

Stop littering if you have nothing substantive to say.

Yep, more empty Trumptard heads.

Litterally cannot form their own coherent thought on a subject.

Right. While Trump was making billions in New York in the 80s, 90s 2000s, 2010s, not a peep from NY. He become an ex president and far and away leading candidate for the GOP and suddenly he is prosecuted and give a record fine for actions 40 years prior without a complainant or a victim.

You destroy your own system to protect a Party with bad policies at your own peril. I'm a little too wise and analytical to fall for it. I am no cheerleader except for civil liberties and blind justice.

Not much to go on from your post. It’s just rambling and gnashing of the teeth that the SCOTUS is not doing what you want.

Yep, thats pretty much the extent of what goes on in your average Trumptard's head.

No rhyme, no reason, just raw emotions and cultism.

Fuck you and your PROJECTION
YOU post hissy fit after hissy fit here EVERY DAY you over-emotional BABY!!!
You lunatic demented avenger subverted demoralized Stalinist Marxist Leninist zombie ASSHOLES went to LAWFARE to get your Orange BAD Man.....I'll quote the great Peter Gabriel:

Dude, try some history. Goldwater stuck the shiv in Nixon's ribs.

Everybody did....."The swamp" was in full control way back then.

Ironically, the GOP set Goldwater up to lose....Nobody was going to defeat the proxy for the recently slain Kennedy....He's the one that the swamp rats point to every time that a "libertarian-ish" republican runs.

 

[BluesLegend]

A SCOTUS that actually makes rulings based on the law and Constitution, oh the horror. (sarcasm) The days of Dem's liberal justices thumbing the scale left are over.
