I am speechless!Oh dear lord

Somewhat unbelievably, it looks like the SC are taken Trump's immunity claim seriously. I think I give up.
Included the highlight of Justice Thomas musing about why, after Operation Mongoose, JFK didn't face prosecution when out of office. Real tough one that.
Gird your loins, then hit up twitter to have a look at all the maga accounts giving him attaboy's for how great of an argument it is.
I have seen a lot of dumb takes in my life, but I would never have pinned that on a supreme court justice of any self-respecting country ever.
Clarence, bitch, are you for real?

"I don't care about some socialist little European country smaller than a city, this is America" - many countrymen when needing an excuse to be "different".I was about to say that this is why you need a mandatory retirement age for supreme court justices, but then I saw that he's "only" 75 years old. Then again, that's 5 years older than the mandatory retirement age for supreme court justices here in Norway.

The elephant in the room is that nobody has mentioned SC justices. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they know they'd be in the firing line and will craft an opinion that would insulate them from such shenanigans.One way or another he always scurries away. If the SC gives Trump total immunity as POTUS, Biden knows what to do. Because if Trump is the next POTUS with a SC resolution saying that he is immune, he can do whatever he wants without repercussions.
I can see that kind of talk.
Interestingly, Japan, which is considered in a number of ways as a more conservative society than America, also has age 70 as the mandatory retirement age for their own supreme court justices. Even though Canada has the mandatory retirement age at age 75, I honestly believe that 70 is about perfect for a mandatory retirement age for any form of public service and should be a norm in a near future in the US.
Back to the matters related to the trial though.
I wonder if someone can order one of those plexiglass boxes for defendants from Russia. Please let him smell his own gas alone rather than making others suffer in that courtroom.
Now I understand all his lawyers quit despite being paid fortunes; it‘s not worth it.
I don't get this debating of what is the law. Shouldn't the supreme court know?
I’m not sure that they’re capable of performing a 2 step equationIf they say Trump is immune that would mean Biden is immune too. How would that work out for them?
Brilliant
Brilliant
That's what the DA asked for, right?The judge fines Trump a whopping $1k for each violation of his gag order.

He will be fundraising off this immediately. Pay my fines free speech violation, witch hunt. When in reality any regular joe who isn't orange would have long been tossed in jail for these threats against court staff, judges families, witness intimidation
I doubt ACB would vote like the latter 2, but none of them actually want to make a decision, they'll punt it back to the lower courts which will just delay it, if Trump gets reelected then nothing would happen for at least 4 years, if ever, if Biden wins then it'll be back there againGorsuch and Kavanaugh won't vote to declare the president the king, right? Alito and Clarence would vote anything that helps Republicans, and no idea about ACB.

Booooooo.
Making him serve jail for a weekend or for one full week would have been more appropriate for him than fining him a total of $7k or so. Anyway, there is absolutely nothing that says he cannot attend the trial through a video feed for the duration of his incarceration if it ever goes over trial days.
