News Trump: Mar-a-Lago just raided by FBI

[Thump553]

this bitch is unmistakably part of the insurrection.

What is patently obvious ridiculous BS to normal persons will be lapped up by Alito and Thomas (at a minimum) unfortunately. Until the election happens they will just stall things and act cautiously, issuing rulings that will stall without being on the merits. If Trump wins the GOP bias/partisanship on this Supreme Court will become absolute.

Trump sure is getting a lot of help from a legal system rigged against Republicans. Meanwhile the Hunter Biden trial is in progress.

Little Miss Judgie Pooh may have a peer problem:

Aileen Cannon 'Stunning' Refusal of Judge Request to Recuse From Trump Case​

Two of Cannon's fellow judges urged her to remove herself from the classified documents case, according to a new report.



And there's this ... if anyone can believe anything he says:

Interesting that someone at a certain level to have been aware of these convos felt the need to leak it.

Someone should be keeping a close eye on her spending, bank accounts, vacations and gifts. The judiciary seems to be frequently for sale these days.

It's very interesting, almost shocking because other judges almost never offer opinions to other judges about their concerns re performance on a case. But they did offer such opinions here.

Evidence of her bias becomes clearer each day.

Yes, extremely rare, as in almost never ~ barring an obvious case of implicit bias as in this case.

But also, there are no federal judges appointed with essentially zero experience in criminal cases (other than Cannon).

I guess with a lot of OJT, she may eventually understand how the law is supposed to work.

Doubtful.

The Supreme Court really is dragging out Trump's crazy immunity appeal ruling to the greatest extent possible, as they've now fully guaranteed that the D.C. trial has no chance of proceeding prior to the election, regardless of their actual ruling. And fully assuring that the case will never proceed if Trump wins.

For all practical purposes, they have aided and abetted Trump in his crimes, at the very least massively delaying any prosecution for his crimes in (1) just hearing a case that should have had zero chance or consideration of granting Trump immunity from his "alleged" crimes, and (2) halting all court activity on the case while they pondered Trump's insane claim.

It is pretty incredible that the Supreme Court has decided that someone credibly accused of trying to overthrow the government should get a chance to be in charge of it again before that attempt is adjudicated.

Then again at least two of the justices seem to be down with the coup.

So far she’s been very successful at avoiding making any rulings that Smith can take to the 11th to have her removed. This seems to be very clearly on purpose as her goal is to just get the trial past the November election.

Well today is the last day they can issue an opinion this session. Prepare to be infuriated.

It’s not - they will issue opinions next week.

Their next session on Wednesday and Friday. And if they really want to punt, apparently they can extend court into July

I had read/heard earlier this week that today was the end of the session. I just looked up the Supreme Court calendar ( https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/2024TermCourtCalendar.pdf ) and they seem to have a conference day scheduled for June 26th, so maybe they are going longer. That June 26th conference is the last thing on the publicly released calendar.

IMO there are two ways they can calvinball it at this point (1) issue a convoluted opinion that will require remanding the cases to the trial courts for some sort of factual determination or (2) not issue a decision but instead put the case back on the calendar for reargument next session. Either way will block all Trump trials until at least after the election, which is certainly the goal of the majority of the Court.
