The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishments, but also mentions “excessive fines” and bail. The “excessive fines” clause surfaces (among other places) in cases of civil and criminal forfeiture.
In New York state, Attorney General Letitia James, in coordination with New York Judge Arthur Engoron, are seeking to continue the targeting of President Donald Trump with a series of financial judgements, penalties and control mechanisms intended to isolate the leading 2024 Republican presidential candidate from his wealth.
As if something akin to the John Galt character in Atlas Shrugged was coming to life, no American individual has ever faced this level of intentional weaponization of power. If the state appellate court does not intervene, I predict a federal judge will have to get involved. The reason is simple; the State of New York is clearly violating the 8th Amendment, and despite the compromised judiciary, the scale of overreach is even beyond the ability of the pretending judicial system to overlook it.

We need to go after these people legally but without mercy when Trump gets sworn in. I think he has the stones to do it too.
As we all know, when Trump has to seek supporter money for lawfare predicaments, all the money could have been going to his campaign and advertising. Dems meanwhile are flush with millions in cash and getting Jill Biden and other fundraisers for more.
Part of the Left’s plan all along.
Thank you liberals for giving conservatives NEW TOOLS.
I can see it now if Fani Willis is allowed to prosecute.
James illegally seixes his properties to pay the exorbitant fee, take his cash, put him under supervision, take away his business licenses
AND enter Fani Willis trying to
lock him up on cocked up RICO ACT charges.
something has to give
please keep praying
“We need to go after these people legally but without mercy...”
The Bidens? I can’t imagine any DC jury or Delaware jury convicting them of anything no matter the proof of guilt.
The game is stacked against us.
These Democrats are not playing around, they will jail and ruin you. It is time to grow a pair and fight dirty, Y’all.
I think we are just about in final cycles of this predictions
“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.”
“A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.”
“From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”
“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years”
“During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. from bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to complacency;
6. from complacency to apathy;
7. from apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage”
The message is to the rest of us: “If we can do it to him...”

Where is the emergency appeal to the USSC?
Trumps lawyers suck.
A federa judge to intercede? That’s dreaming. Somebody has the wrong headed impression that there is a balanced scale of justice in this country with proportional and equal treatment for all. What a joke. What a sad joke.
This would not be possible except for the massive amount of cowards in the Republican ranks, and soo many of them here
They won’t even think about putting themselves or their cushy lives in jeopardy to stand up to this
I won’t go to or buy from New York from now on
later
No disclosures showed that much cash on hand.
None.
You seem so sure of that. Like you want it to be true.
I think most reasonable people will be looking for more information before they come to that conclusion.
