Do the Federal courts have the courage to rule...and rule correctly...here? I doubt it.
This piece of pure human scum, Smith, should have beenn disbarred years ago.
The Judicial Branch is out of control and some balls in Congress need to do some checks and balances. Unfortunately, all the balls in Congress belong to a few GOP women.
P.S. — Legally, the Senate did not hold a trial for an impeached President. He was an impeached ex-President, which meant it was treated no differently than an impeachment of any other Federal official (a Federal judge, for example).
We are all living through the transition of the USA from a Republic to an empire/government technocracy.
Its the 4th branch of government, the permanent deep-state, against Trump.
I agree. As Robert Gouveia Esq. pointed out, “If the President believes a federal election was fraudulently held, the President must address the issue as part of his executive duties.
+1
Agreed. Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn discussed this at length in their December 1 podcast America This Week. The government, corporations, and campuses are colluding to censor and suppress anything that is contrary to the Democrat agenda.
Link to the petition:
Important so YOU can read what Smith wrote, instead of what someone else says Smith wrote.
I’d be surprised if SCOTUS takes this case now, as the issue has not even been argued at the appellate level.
This is simply Smith trying to get ahead of his coming defeat in being able to blame SCOTUS that his sham trial couldn’t get started before the election season.
Agreed.
If the SC rules against Trump, Joe Biden and others will be open to similar prosecutions. If they uphold Trump’s assertion, Jack Smith will hand his case over to a Soros DA who will carry on. These cases aren’t a matter of law for the left, they’re vehicles to occupy DJTs time and money. Lawfare for a better word, that those on the left cheer on, along with the NeverTrump clique on the right.
So there’s all kinds of rush to prosecute Trump in the midst of election season, but even BEFORE Biden declared for the 2020 race, Trump was publicly warned not to have any investigation of Biden’s (or his son’s) prior activities (for which there was no possible immunity), lest it be considered “election interference.”
Yeah. Uh-huh. I see. Biggest f’ing double standard out there - if you’re a Dem, you get of scot-free on EVERYTHING, but if you’re a MAGA Republican (or THE MAGA Republican, Mr. Orange Man Bad himself), then everything an everything is on the table.
Nice way to destroy ANY confidence in the government being a neutral arbiter (not that I’ve had any illusions of that for a few decades) and, hence, nice way to destroy the country. Rules for thee, but not for me - yeah, F that!
The Chief Justice is/was not part of Trump’s impeachment proceedings.
“The SC will not expedite Thug Jack Smith’s request.”
FYI, a great YouTube channel to watch regarding how the courts operate WRT gun cases is “The Four Boxes Diner” hosted by Mark Smith, who’s tried many cases before the Supremes, and who’s papers have often been cited in arguements/briefs before the Court. No, I’m not related to him, don’t work for him, don’t know him at all - I just think that he gives lots of good insights WRT how the courts work, and that his predictions of rulings is usually spot-on.
We are inching to a civil war.
How many times was Pres Trump impeached?
And when?
I’m reconsidering my response on the necessity of Roberts for the second trial.
“It actually made a lot of sense. If Trump had been convicted in the Senate, they would have sought to disqualify him from holding Federal office again as the penalty.”
The ONLY point was to try to further tarnish Trump’s reputation in the public eye, but IMHO it actually enhanced it. Trump is Teflon - every single thing that he’s accused of falls by the wayside, as he’s innocent. It backs up his claim that, “They’re not after me, they’re after you; I’m just in the way.”
He wasn’t President at the time of the trial. I sent a link that explains.
