DeSantis has been outflanked on the right by most Republicans, including Kevin McCarthy. Pathetic

It’s certainly under the Soros big top!

If the President IS arrested, then it won’t be long before hysterical Liberals will begin building their gulags... maybe they have already begun, when you think of the J6 demonstrators unlawfully arrested and detained.

What’s the expression? “Justice delayed is justice denied”!!!

“Yesterday it was “DESANTIS HASN’T SPOKEN OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE!””

No. It’s always been “Why hasn’t DeSantis spoken out about this issue YET?” That question still remains. Why did it take him 3 days to condemn something every American should condemn? If he’s content with remaining Florida’s governor for the next 4 years, I suppose it’s no big deal. But if he plans to enter the 2024 presidential race, people rightfully expect more.

“If Trump fights extradition then the law allows for the Governor to review the request, but he cannot block it.”

Then what’s the purpose of the review?

(a) Any period following the commission of the offense during which (i) the defendant was continuously outside this state

Coming and going from NYC, from a place known to a place known is not “continuously”.

Personally, and as a Trump supporter, I wish everyone on both sides would pull their heads out of their asses, quite frankly. This is getting stupid. What DeSantis said today is perfectly in line with what he should be saying. The bits about pornstar hush money were genius. It is that side of Trump that everyone hates, and we all know he is weak when it comes to women.

DeSantis has done an amazing job in Florida, no doubt. But my issue with him is that he is, very clearly, a polished politician. He will do politician things. He will not be the unfettered leader everyone believes he will for one simple reason: if he even attempts anything close to a Trump-esque administration, he will be just as heavily constrained as Trump was, not only by the left, but by his own damn party. Anything done to minimize the swamp will be met with resistance on all sides.

I think it's important that he speak out on the potential pending arrest, and his statement today was exactly what I would have expected out of him, based on watching his previous responses to issues.

Now, if an indictment does indeed come down the pike, I would absolutely expect DeSantis to step in as Governor, no matter what. The left doesn't care what the Constitution or SCOTUS says, sobeit. It's time we act accordingly. Could DeSantis call out the National Guard to make sure Trump isn't arrested? I say yes. He can do whatever he wants, really, and just follow along with the leftist playbook by apologizing later, maybe. But I do expect him to get involved, very deeply involved, for one reason:

If the left is successful in getting rid of Trump, they WILL do precisely the same with DeSantis.

Seriously Rob ... what utter trash. Saint Desantis running a shadow presidential campaign apparently is just fine with the rock throwing ... trash.

What is obvious is that the cabal of political parties will and have repeatedly stole elections. YOU will never give back what has been stolen ... I will let the Heavenly Father sort you all out.

I understand that the Constitution may just be a piece of paper to you, but this legal issue has been settled.

So has the 2A issue, among many others. That doesn't stop the left from attacking in every possible way. We don't do that, because somehow playing nice is better in the eyes of the voters. I call BS. It's long past time to play by the leftist playbook and route these traitorous wretches once and for all.

As a Trump supporter, I completely believe that was Trump's biggest mistake the first go round. The majority of leftist so-called "leaders", beginning with Hitlery, should have been prosecuted to the fullest. The fact he came around and said I think we'll leave her alone was a YUGE mistake. He left her with plenty of resources and plenty of motivation to come back on offense.

"Could DeSantis call out the National Guard to make sure Trump isn't arrested? I say yes."

As a current member of the National Guard (not Florida), I can tell you this is absolutely 100% not going to happen. It cannot happen. Soldiers cannot be put on orders for any purpose that even has a HINT of politics.

But I disagree with your conclusion. I think the left desperately wants Trump to be the nominee because they know they can beat Trump. They cannot beat Desantis. At least, Biden cannot beat Desantis. So the left is actively trying to get Trump to be the nominee.

Where did you get such silly nonsense from?

States CAN (although they rarely do) extradite for misdemeanors. It’s expensive, so for most misdemeanors its not worth the effort. But nothing in the Constitution or 18 U.S.C. § 3182 limits extradition to felonies.

18 USCS § 3182 includes every offense from highest to lowest and embraces misdemeanors as well as treason and felony. Gatewood v. Culbreath, 47 So. 2d 725, 1950 Fla. LEXIS 1068 (Fla. 1950).

Misdemeanors are extraditable offenses. Glover v. State, 257 Ark. 241, 515 S.W.2d 641, 1974 Ark. LEXIS 1342 (1974).

Extradition may be had for any crime punishable under laws of demanding state, including misdemeanors and petty offenses. State ex rel. Knowles v. Taylor, 160 Tenn. 44, 22 S.W.2d 222, 1929 Tenn. LEXIS 73 (Tenn. 1929).

Predecessor of 18 USCS § 3182 embraced every offense known to laws of demanding state, including misdemeanors. Ex parte Reggel, 114 U.S. 642, 5 S. Ct. 1148, 29 L. Ed. 250, 1885 U.S. LEXIS 1805 (1885).

Requirement of extradition extends to every offense against laws of demanding state, and it is immaterial that offense is not one denounced by laws of asylum state. People ex rel. Kahn v. Meyering, 348 Ill. 486, 181 N.E. 300, 1932 Ill. LEXIS 795 (Ill. 1932).

Right to demand surrender of fugitive implied correlative obligation to deliver without regard to nature of crime or policy or laws of demanding state. Ex parte Hubbard, 201 N.C. 472, 160 S.E. 569, 1931 N.C. LEXIS 14 (1931).

So again, where did you get your silly notions from? (HINT: Twitter comments are not the law.)

DeSantis is obligated to refuse to extradite a Citizen of Florida to this circus--in fact, to protect President Trump. If DeSantis fails to do so, he is DEFINITELY NOT Presidential material.

The governor of state has no such power. As is mentioned in post 15 above, and easy to verify with simple research.

Not particularly.

Ramaswamy’s response showed Ron how it should be done. Ron took a pass, unfortunately.

To ensure that there is in fact a valid extradition request from the requesting State. Valid in the sense that an indictment or warrant was obtained and the requesting State is willing to extradite.

The governor has absolutely zero discretion to ignore the request because he doesn't like the law in the other State. This has been settled law for decades.

Yes, states can. Florida cannot. Florida limits extraditions to felonies, per its extradition statute.

Given you started with missing basic facts, didn’t read the rest of your garbage.

FAR too many people would rather invent made up laws from internet comments rather than just check to see what the law actually is.

This ranks up there with nonsense like: “Only the corner can arrest a Sheriff.” “Federal agents have to get the permission of the Sheriff to operate in a county.” “If I am a traveler I don’t need a license plate on my car.” Or signing “UCC 1-308” on legal documents thinking that it does anything.

To believe DeSantis can't be beat is kidding yourself. So long as the left has the lock on the voter fraud machine, we won't be seeing a republican president for a real long time. I don't care who it is. Trump should have won 2020. It was clear that he was the front runner and America wanted more. Didn't matter, though, and it won't matter with DeSantis, either. The outcome will be what the left wants.

It cannot happen. Soldiers cannot be put on orders for any purpose that even has a HINT of politics.

And I understand that perfectly. Once again, however, the left doesn't care about restrictions, rules, the Constitution, the BoR's - none of it, and they regularly walk all over any restraints set forth for them. It's time we do the same. Anything, absolutely anything, is possible. It's generally better to apologize after the fact anyhow, rather than asking permission. The time to go scorched earth, restrictions be damned, against the traitorous left is now.

You don't want to read, because the truth conflicts with your opinion.

1st you are simply wrong, I noticed that you didn't even attempt to look up what Florida law actually says:

Florida law: 941.02 Fugitives from justice; duty of Governor.—Subject to the provisions of this chapter, the provisions of the Constitution of the United States controlling, and any and all Acts of Congress enacted in pursuance thereof, it is the duty of the Governor of this state to have arrested and delivered up to the executive authority of any other state of the United States any person charged in that state with treason, felony, or other crime, who has fled from justice and is found in this state.

I could write that in crayon for you if it would help you to process.

It used to be that Conservatives cared about truth rather than feelings and opinions, and would take the time to look up what the truth is rather than relying on internet comments.

Nothing in Florida Law, the USC or the Constitution limits extradition to felonies.

18 USCS § 3182 includes every offense from highest to lowest and embraces misdemeanors as well as treason and felony. Gatewood v. Culbreath, 47 So. 2d 725, 1950 Fla. LEXIS 1068 (Fla. 1950).

Just to further rub your face in your nonsense, here is a case from Florida, wherein Florida extradited a person to New Jersey for misdemeanor criminal contempt. The fugitive attempted to fight extradition, in part by making the same false claim that you did, that Florida shouldn't extradite for a misdemeanor. The court rejected the fugitive's argument.

"The offense of criminal contempt, the indictment for which in New Jersey was the basis of the extradition proceeding, was shown by affidavit of an assistant to the Attorney General of New Jersey to be a crime under the laws of that state. It was thus disclosed that by a statute there criminal contempt is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000, or by imprisonment for not more than three years, or both. In Gatewood v. Culbreath, the Supreme Court of Florida held that an offense which under the laws of a demanding state is a misdemeanor constitutes a crime for which extradition can be had, citing Ex parte Kentucky v. Dennison." State ex rel. Cocchiaro v. Purdy, 260 So. 2d 556, 557 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1972).

Have a great day!
