In cases where the Constitution might not explain or allow for some modern thing, it SHOULD be a “living document” in the sense that it could be amended.
But they won’t do that. It hamstrings them too much. They would MUCH rather rely on court rulings, which if done sensibly, might be adequate.
But they aren’t. They are often partisan and frivolous, and in obvious Leftist ways.
Couple of things I don’t understand:
1 - Everyone KNEW the judge was going to impose an insane fine. The state requires the fine be paid before an appeal can be made. Why weren’t they prepared to do so?
2 - Why wasn’t the 8th Amendment argument being pushed all along, and why haven’t they filed for an immediate injunction against the payment of the fine in FEDERAL court? Since paying would bring ruin, it ought to be easy to argue the butthead court’s ruling should be put on immediate hold pending federal review of the amount.
“I hope that James and the judge get disbarred for this travesty of justice.”
That is not far enough. If the higher court overturns the original decision then the lower court, to include the prosecuters and governor, are guilty of slander/liable. They have a responsibility of protecting the rights of their citizenry and if they fail it by determining a business is acting in a illegal manner and it isn’t, and publically pronounce it that way, then they are harming Trump’s businesses. Lawsuit.

Yep, both the judge and prosecutor had personal vendettas against Trump.
Given the White House was caught putting a political operative in Fani’s office to coordinate the political attacks on Trump, the very same information may soon come to light in NYC. Follow the Staffers.
Does Trump get the money he had to spend on these bogus court trials?
No Amendment from the now defunct Constitution has any bearing on Trump’s case...
The only basis, in law, is now derived from the manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1845...
