I'm sure the teenagers he abused are far too scared to come out in the open. They know what happens.

Or if not SCOTUS, at least to the Circuit Court of Appeals. What a disgraceful embarrassment.TransMonk wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 11:42 am We'll see what the 11th Circuit says on appeal. This case wasn't going to trial anytime soon anyway and ultimately November 5 will decide whether it continues at all.
Looks to me like a judge using media cover to submit her application to the Supreme Court.
The raid was not the product of the "Dems." It was the work of the FBI.Bob Alpacadaca wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 10:51 am The whole point of these cases was to fuel the narrative that Trump is reckless and lawless. With the raid, the staged evidence photos, the Dems got what they wanted out of this. It backfired a bit with Biden's garage and the Robert Hur report. They're better off having this one just go away.
No. The whole point of these cases was to convict the scumbag of crimes he committed. I guess they'll all go away now anyway, no matter what, either because the electorate, collectively, is fucking stupid. It voted him into office once already so there's your proof of its stupidity. Also, QAnon. And if by some fucking miracle, the Dems win the next presidency, then our crooked SCOTUS will step in to make the cases go away.Bob Alpacadaca wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 10:51 am The whole point of these cases was to fuel the narrative that Trump is reckless and lawless.

She claims that Smith didn't give her enough legal arguments against the Appointments Clause argument that she ultimately utilized to punt the case. This could be interpreted as a preemptive strike in what is most likely an appeal by Smith to the 11th Circuit, a court that already has batted Judge Cannon upside the head a number of times for her handling of the case. Even if that appeal is heard, and if the Appeals court takes the case away from Cannon, its ultimate resolution seems to be located on a timeline between the next Ice Age and the Twelfth of Never.
It's time we all face a grim truth. There is no bulwark within our present constitutional structure to resist the kind of politics that will be celebrated at this convention. In just the last two weeks, the federal courts have proven to be hopeless against, if not actively supportive of, those politics. The Democratic Party insists on devouring its own entrails, and the political press seems to be perfectly happy with its role in creating a martyrdom cult within which the Republicans can create a winning alternate reality. All around sunny Milwaukee, happy people in red hats are celebrating. Unity, they cry. Unity! Join us.
Or else.
Of course not. The GOP's crooked takeover of the judiciary is complete and when you have the courts, you have everything you need to run a corrupt nation. But hey! Hillary's emails! They couldn't be bothered to fucking vote when everything was on the line but they got to make their stupid meaningless fashion statements with their stupid fucking pussy hats at the pussy hat demonstration. "Let's all go to the pussy-hat demonstration. It's gonna be so cool. Madonna's gonna be there. Cher, too!"Charles Pierce wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 4:08 pm

You and Clarence Thomas are about the only ones who believe this nonsense. And crooked MAGA judge Eileen Cannon, of course. Nobody else on SCOTUS joined in Thomas's batshit crazy concurring opinion. Still, if this ever gets to SCOTUS, I wouldn't put it past them to fashion a gaslighting remedy that favors Trump. At this point, nothing is beyond this SCOTUS.
I'm not surprised by Cannon's dismissal, but by the timing of it. She left the door open for an appeal with a corollary motion to have her removed from the case. I figured that a dismissal would come after a jury was empaneled, thus preventing the Government from ever appealing the decision. Maybe she changed her mind after the insane Trump immunity decision, now counting on -- no, expecting -- SCOTUS to have the final word here and ultimately back her up.batmagadanleadoff wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2024 12:11 pmYou and Clarence Thomas are about the only ones who believe this nonsense.
