My money is on the court steering well clear of this. The conservatives there are on a mission to punish liberals and make life generally more terrible for ordinary people through contradictory legal nonsense, not to keep Trump out of prison.
As a practical matter, I must ask: "Burn down the court," literally? I do mean literal in the original sense... At the very least there could be a crowd of thousands perpetually demonstrating in front of the SCOTUS building. I'd have to think this would cause the 6 lame-ass conservative in-justices to lose a lot of sleep.
So, what ever happened to checks and balances? The SCOTUS cannot be allowed to trump the legislative and executive branch. Only thing that comes to my mind is:I don't think it will. You'll just get more calls for prosecuting those protesting from the "fuck your feelings" crowd.
This past year or two, they've acted like they can just override the legislative if they don't like the laws that have been written. They've tied themselves in knots with twisted legal interpretation and reasoning.So, what ever happened to checks and balances?

This is true, SCOTUS might allow a very long delay.

Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, Baron Trump
Why would it matter if he announces his candidacy?Now that I think about it ... I assume he’ll get advance notice before an actual indictment is typed up and filed, and federal Marshalls drive to Mar a Lago to arrest him. I'm assuming that’s all he needs – If he gets notified a day or two in advance, I can see him organizing a rally, and announce to his adoring crowd.: I'm running! in 2024. If it’s only a couple hours' notice, he can announce on his social media “I’M RUNNING IN 2024”.
And he will most likely once again have escaped taking responsibility for his actions.…as he has for his entire life. I'm sure he's delaying the announcement to run because he’ll lose money. Being a candidate makes him subject to campaign financing laws, so he can’t put all the cash in his pocket. But indictments will most likely change all that.
It really shouldn't matter, but there's a non-zero chance the FBI will delay a possible indictment because they don't want to be seen as interfering with politics. I, of course, see it as total bollocks if that is the case. Politicians or political processes should not have some sort of protection aura if there's criminality involved.Why would it matter if he announces his candidacy?
I sincerely doubt that. If anything declaring makes him more likely to be indicted, although I think indictment is inevitable at this point anyway.It really shouldn't matter, but there's a non-zero chance the FBI will delay a possible indictment because they don't want to be seen as interfering with politics.

Lol why? Master, oh all these documents are the orange monkeys and must be returned.So it looks like he will escape accountability again.

But funny how the judge commented on unfair media leaks that negatively impact him. He’s the one leaking things stupid judge!!!! Like Garland would be perfectly happy if none of this came outTechnically nothing. Let him run for office from his jail cell for all I care. I'm just spit balling here. Just knowing how Trump floods the zone with shit to obstruct justice to delay and delay and tie it up in court, nothing would surprise me at this point.
I heard on the news that the judge in fact claimed the DOJ overstated the grounds set by the 1977 Supreme Court decision.The ruling seems to infer the classified material could be covered be executive privilege. Which is patently insane.
Don't post an article that has nothing to do with your comment. Give us an article that talks about this overstating the grounds set by the supposed 1977 Supreme Court Decision, as that is what your comment is about.I heard on the news that the judge in fact claimed the DOJ overstated the grounds set by the 1977 Supreme Court decision.
Judge grants Trump bid for special master in document search
A federal judge has granted a request by former President Donald Trump’s legal team to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI during a search of his Florida home last monthwww.audacy.com
We passed that point with citizens United and the gutting of the voting rights act. Everything since then is just the court dunking on the country.At which point the Supreme Court becomes guilty of actively conspiring to aid and abet serious crimes - and at which point the burn down the court becomes not only reasonable, but necessary.
Pack the court and run it again. If they can gut Roe……We passed that point with citizens United and the gutting of the voting rights act. Everything since then is just the court dunking on the country.
That's why I don't think the DOJ is going to appeal. Maybe it just causes a month long delay. Better than your above scenario.Seems like a decent concern would be that the 11th circuit overrules this ridiculous decision and then SCOTUS stays their order and lets it sit on their docket for a year or so.
