The rules?! Applied to a rich right wing cishet allegedly xtian man like donnie? Outrageous!

That’s not the “law and order” we were talking about!

JeeBaiChow,

Collusion to subvert the justice system? By republicans? By powerful Americans? Say it isn’t so!

some_guy,

Cry me a river, shitheads.

thegr8goldfish,

I don’t even understand what they’re asking for here? Are they suggesting that the Supreme Court can overturn a state conviction? I didn’t think that was allowed, but if any court is corrupt enough to do it I suppose it’s this one.

walter_wiggles,

They’ll do it, then it’ll be contested, and go to court. It will be appealed up to the SC where they’ll decide it’s allowed.

Maggoty,

So, you’re not going to want to hear this but SCOTUS is the court you appeal to after you lose at your state supreme court. SCOTUS rarely takes the case and even more rarely sides with the convicted person. If they vacate Trump’s conviction it would be incredibly hypocritical considering their treatment of other people with real problems with their convictions.

AbidanYre,

it would be incredibly hypocritical

Like they care.

Exactly. Pope Alito don’t GAF about things like optics or morality or even any kind of internal consistency.

Blue_Morpho,

I think it is required to be hypocritical if you are Republican.

dhork,

The SC is allowed to weigh in on a State matter, but its only supposed to happen when it concerns something that the Federal Government has a say in, or a matter that includes a dispute between states. However, the SC itself if the sole arbiter of whether it reaches that threshold or not, so who knows what excuse they might pull out of Harlan Crow’s jet.

One thing that is certain, however, is that it cannot act at all until all appeals in NY are exhausted. So that means the SC can’t just zoom in and grab the case unless his appeals first get turned down by all courts through the highest appellate court in NY. Then his lawyers can ask the SC as a last resort, and we’ll see where that leads.

Dkarma,

You can thank Jack Smith for setting that “can’t skip” precedent not too long ago… 😂

“This is diminishing the American people’s faith in our system of justice itself and, to maintain a republic, you have to have that, people have to believe that justice is fair, that there’s equal justice under law.

And/or “I know you are, but what am I?”

somebody should create a truth bot or whatever it’s called and everytime he insults some one or soemthing, it just says “I know you are but what am I?” or maybe “You’re an orange [whatever he just said]”

You know. maybe keep him so irate and busy he forgets all about this presidential campaign thing.

disguy_ovahea,

That’s brilliant. Like a digital one of those “how to keep an idiot busy” cards.

FuglyDuck,

I think you just aged both of us…

MagicShel,

How about a bot that just instantly fact checks and replies every time he posts anything. We could potentially prevent the lies from getting half way around the world before the truth gets its shoes on.

I like it. Bots for everyone.
