Supreme Court thumbing the scale for Trump.

[Redfish]

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.

whereas you brilliant assholes just hate Trump because your masters told you to. you are pathetic.

 

[Redfish]

Nixon should have hanged.

along with both clintons, obama, and biden.. all of them violated federal law and the constitution.

 

[bendog]

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.

I dunno. JFK took him seriously, and honorably. They planned a series of debates. That's not deep state. A deep state is having debates that don't mean anything. Trump beat hillary in the debates by bullying and stage performance rather than ideas. Of course, JFK had a camera lens he used to look better than Nixon in a tv debate, so .... there ya go.

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.

There will still be time for a summer trial even after the April hearing and decision.
It will just mean that the DOJ's longstanding tradition of not holding trials like this so close to an election has to be suspended.
Of course the Trump camp will scream bloody murder about "election interference," but oh well....that has been their plan all along anyway.
Trump has already referred in a Truth Social post to the "DOJ "law" about trials in election years" but he's a dumbass.
There's no "law" about this. It is only commonly accepted practice, but this is an extroardinary case.
Extaordinary measures and practices are called for.
And at the end of the day it isn't The DOJ's fault that ALL of Trump's trials are going to be stacked up right next to the election....from May till November now.
That was Trump's decision.

The likely effect of his criminal Trials all being delayed until so late in the year and so close to the election is that voters are going to be so fatigued by constant, daily news of Trump's courtroom details and all the evidence against him they are hearing they're liable to cast votes to ensure they NEVER have to hear his stupid name again.
So look on the bright side.
The SCOTUS waiting so long to shoot down his immunity argument just may turn out to be a real gift to America.

I dunno. JFK took him seriously, and honorably. They planned a series of debates.

Goldwater wasn't even the nominee at that point...The GOP sent him there to lose, so they could be the party of golf playing, cocktail party attending capitulatiors ever after.

That's not deep state. A deep state is having debates that don't mean anything. Trump beat hillary in the debates by bullying and stage performance rather than ideas.

Maybe so, but Hildabeest was already extremely unlikable to begin with....The debates of '16 didn't change any minds.

 

[bendog]

Nixon should have hanged.

I was not a fan. I was looking at spending my college years in the cambodian blood letting. (-:

But the Nixon Frost interview when Nixon clearly said that his view of executive power was that if a president authorizes a crime ... it's not a crime ... if it affects a matter of public policy or debate.

I repped your optimism. I doubt Trump is actually tried on anything prior to the election.

Every tradition needs to be thrown out the window, in the name of you shitlibs' holy neo-fascist jihad.

Oh, I think today's debate format is an example of "deep state." Trump blew it up by refusing to follow rules. And I agree, his boorishness didn't change minds.

Nor did Hildabeest's entitled smugness.

Elections have consequences.

No. In the name of the pathologically lying, cheating, conning, philandering, criminal shit-stain who you morons thought was just good enough to be a POTUS back in 2016.
Maybe you'll make better choices in the future?

 

[Billiejeens]

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.

Nearly every win that the left has had, in my lifetime, has come from activist judges.

No. In the name of the pathologically lying, cheating, conning, philandering, criminal shit-stain who you morons thought was just good enough to be a POTUS back in 2016.

President Trump was spectacular.
Would he had been better if all of both establishments, and the Constant Washington Class had not fought and sabotaged him at every junction?
Yes.

You regurgitate a meme because you have no points.

Which shows how worthless that opinion is.

[AntonToo]

IF they end up holding he is immune from prosecution

They won't, everyone knows that. It would be ridiculous, unconscionable descision.

It's the hold up that SC is commiting here that is very tough to explain if not by partisanship.

 

[Lesh]

There was never any doubt that the Court will rule against Trump here

That was never the point

The point was always to run out the clock

 

[AntonToo]

Right. While Trump was making billions in New York in the 80s, 90s 2000s, 2010s, not a peep from NY.

Yes, Trump couldn't be prosecuted for paying off his fuck dolls during a campaign if he didn't run and didn't pay them off.

Yes, he wouldn't have his disgruntled lawyer testifying to the world about how Trumps run their bussiness fraudlently.

Yes, if Trump wasn't a president he wouldn't be slandering Caroll.

Yes, if Trump wasn't a president he wouldn't be able to take home top secret documents and then refuse to return them.

Yes, if Trump didn't run he wouldn't be able to incite an attack on the Congress.

Yes, if Trump didn't run he wouldn't be caught trying to illictly overturn an election result.


So what? Are we to pretend that it didn't happen? That criminality should not be held to account? Your point is nonsense, do try to post something coherent.
