Didn't the prosecutor, Jack Smith, request SCOTUS take this up?

#6 | POSTED BY BELLRINGER

If you are referring to the response where Jack Smith requested that -------- petition also act as a request for cert, what happened was the 2nd circuit issued their rock solid decision, ------- requested the SC issue a stay but did not ask for cert to review the decision, because he figured he could get denied and then ask for a cert so he could delay. Jack Smith said deny the request because it is ungodly stupid, but if you DON'T deny it just act like it is a request for a cert, which the court took him up on. Keep in mind 4 justices for a stay 5 justices for cert, i think.

Comstock Act

Educate yourself.

It will be the power that ------- (the fraud and sexual predator) will use to ban abortion nation wide, even without congress.

Johnson will likely try to outlaw porn as well.

Educate yourself.

Jonathan Mitchell-the author of Texas' SB-8 and Attorney for ------- in the Colorado case:

Mitchell has seemingly broadened his remit. "We don't need a federal ban [on abortion] when we have Comstock on the books,"

Keep in mind that this case, as to whether ------- broke the law when he tried to overturn our government will be heard and decided on by a person who's wife is an unnamed co-conspirator.

god bless america.

"We're going to agree to a number of weeks or months or however you want to define it," Trump said. "And both sides are going to come together and both sides " both sides, and this is a big statement " both sides will come together. And for the first time in 52 years, you'll have an issue that we can put behind us."
Educate yourself.
LMAO Calm yourself..

SCREAMING LOL!!!!

This from the guy who said we would have better healthcare for less cost and that he would pay down the debt quickly.

LOL

Face it, ------- has absolutely ZERO convictions. He serves only to feed his own ego. He gets played constantly by people who feed his ego.

He has little interest in the hard work of governing and will sign off on whatever is put in front of him. Call it the "------- Protects Women's Vaginas Executive Action" and he will sign it in a heart beat and have a stupid grin on his face the entire time.

Nixon case heard and decided within 2 weeks.

Gore v Bush heard and decided within like 4 days.

This is delay to after the election pure and simple.

The question really should be "Should the American people have the opportunity to know whether the person they are voting for is a convicted felon?" prior to election.

"We're going to agree to a number of weeks or months or however you want to define it," Trump said. "And both sides are going to come together and both sides " both sides, and this is a big statement " both sides will come together. And for the first time in 52 years, you'll have an issue that we can put behind us."

This concept is that the states with a MUCH higher population will have to give up MAJOR abortion access in a bid for "compromise". If the Democrats did that, ---- em.

States with 100,000,000 people will dictate abortion rights in states with 230,000,000

GalHoliday,
I disagree. I believe he has a very similar opinion about abortion I do.
RvW was a perfectly good solution. Congress should pass a bill codifying it.
The abortion debate is similar to the immigration debate. The extremists control the narrative. Trump, I believe is pragmatic. Hillary is pragmatic, so was Obama.
Biden is ideological

Oh so much to unpack

------- has no opinion about abortion-if he knocked someone up, they would get an abortion after signing an NDA, he has zero thoughts beyond that.

He has NO convictions.

I keep asking but never get a satisfactory answer. What authority does Congress have to regulate abortion? Dobbs said abortion is not a right. What authority does congress have to regulate it?

Hint, NONE.

As for ------- working with congress, I have to ask.

What legislative achievements did ------- achieve in his 4 years of office? Obama did ACA, Biden did infrastructure and the IRA.

What legislation, especially one as complicated as dealing with abortion, did ------- get passed?

Trump is not pragmatic. He is a madman who thinks will conquers all. To be a pragmatist he would have to believe in reality. His pragmatism got a million Americans killed.

"From what I have seen, policy is dictated by fmr Pres Trump towards others. Opinions do not seem to flow in the other direction."

That is incorrect. ------- is lazy and does not want to do the hard work of governance. Thus, he outsourced the appointment of judges to McConnell and Leonard Leo. ------- takes the last thing said to him and runs with it like it is gospel. That and seeking reinforcement of what he wants and ignoring reality-example look at the meeting he had about the covid vaccine with the heads of the various pharmaceutical companies. He wanted a date which they would be available. the Pharma reps kept telling him one way or another it was impossible, testing needed to be done, safety had to be measured-there were hard timelines on when a vaccine could be ready-------- kept saying "ok so you are saying it will be ready by June 1", No Mr. President we are saying stage 1 of trials will be done my mid summer. ------- replies "Ok so you are saying the vaccine will be ready by June 1" I am paraphrasing a bit, but the essential truth is there.

He will UNDOUBTEDLY outsource the implementation of abortion restrictions. He will have sycophants and radical white christian nationalist with hard right religious agenda surrounding him. The mature Republicans won't be anywhere around. People like Jonathan Mitchell will be there saying here sign this and poof abortion is gone.

You think ------- is going to spend hours learning about the female reproduction system? Peeshaw!

Trump is pragmatic in the sense that he wants to win the election, and he--or more accurately his campaign team--realize being anti-abortion this time around will cost him many voters, especially women voters, including white suburban soccer moms. He needs those voters, so he has to moderate his position on abortion, which pragmatically he is now attempting to do.

Somewhat true, but pragmatism takes discipline, which ------- lacks. Occasionally he is on script (i.e. after Iowa caucuses), but most frequently deranged (i.e. after NH).

One thing Dems should be doing is baiting him endlessly, especially on the mental fitness angle. that gets under his skin and results in some of his funniest gaffes.

" Supreme Court rejects Jack Smith's request for justices to quickly hear Trump immunity dispute"

Are you suggesting the court has an obligation to adhere to every demand made by Democrats?

Would our nation be better served if the voters know whether the republican presidential nominee has been criminally held accountable for trying to overthrow the government before he is given a chance to protect himself from any accountability for those crimes?

In retrospect that post probably made more sense than ones I make that don't have a bunch of typos.

None of your posts make any "sense"

February 28, 2024
April 22, 2024

will be milestones to a major historical event coming this fall/winter.

If ------- wins election in November, the SC will have to answer for this delay in adjudicating whether ------- is found guilty of attempting to overthrow the government prior to the electorate going to the ballot box.

If ------- loses election in November, there will be violence at a level not seen in America in quite some time, as ------- attempts to once again deny he lost the election.

2024 is looking to be an ugly year.

I wish I could give 71 10 newsworthy flags!

According to Leah Litman, the latest that the SC could issue their decision and still reasonably have a trial START before the election is by the end of May.

Something I learned today is that (and forgive me for not getting the terms correct), but the SC worded this cert to allow even further delay. The 2nd Court of Appeals cannot release the case back to Chutkan upon the release of the decision by the SC but they have to wait for the WRITTEN decision (up to a 30 day delay). This is a seemingly innocuous thing but, this delay was intentionally put in there. Assuming the SC releases their decision June 30. Logically the 2nd could send the case back to Chutkan on the 1st of July, but NO. The SC could delay the written decision to say July 29 and only on July 30 could the 2nd release the case.

Chutkan said she needs around 80 days I think of pretrial, so that is 110 days from June 30 or October 18 as a trial START date meaning jury selection starts.

So, yeah the corrupt SC is acting Supremely Corrupt

SCOTUS exists to apply the Constitution to the cases before it. It does not exist to deliver preferred political outcomes for Democrats.

Does it exist to delay -------- trials to the point where the American people won't know whether he is adjudicated guilty for trying to overthrow the government?

Is that the role of the courts?

Isn't that a major question?

#75 And most states have statutory deadlines for clerks to print ballots that fall somewhere in August/September to allow time for military ballots to be shipped overseas, etc.
If the issue is not resolved squarely, affirmatively and completely prior to those dates, Trump is on the ballot period. And by all accounts it will not be, regardless of the merits question of whether he is an insurrectionist.
Thanks, Republicans!

Don't worry Joe, Congress can figure out whether ------- is an insurrectionist (and legally allowed to be president) sometime between early November 2024 and January 21, 2025. Smooth sailing.

What will happen say, if ------- wins the electoral college but the HoR goes solidly blue.

What will happen say, if the Democrats refuse to certify any electoral ballots for an insurrectionist?

Do you think ------- will take that in stride? Should not that issue be addressed before the election?

Won't it be interesting if ------- chooses a co-conspirator as VP, say a Josh Hawley.

The democrats could throw out both president and VP ballots and elect Hakeem Jeffries POTUS.

Just saying.

Perhaps it would be better to figure all of this out ahead of time.

I think you might be surprised about that. I think if ------- wins there will be a lot of pressure on the dems to act. I know I know history has not shown the dems to do something like that but I can see post November to be truly unprecedented

Think about it for a second. Say ------- wins, likely a very close election. There will be a non-stop screaming of INSURRECTIONIST and 14th Amendment Section 3!!!!

Then you've got Chutkan starting a trial say, mid-November only to be rendered moot 1/21/25.

It will be ugly.

And don't get me started on what happens should ------- lose.

IMO our nation's security demands that this issue be dealt with now.

But America is not good at proactively protecting itself.

Maybe ------- will die.

Then there will be the whole "can a President pardon himself", then you will have articles of impeachment drawn on 1/6/25 to impeach his insurrectionist ass.

Hey, maybe ------- will be in a NY prison by then, we can hope.
