Re: Trump Indicted for Conspiring to Overturn the 2020 Election

This is another important point. Many of suggested that the Fischer case could eviscerate the case against Trump, but I have long believed that the obstruction counts against Trump would survive, even if they would not survive in the vast majority of 1/6 cases. https://twitter.com/RDEliason/status/1...

So much winning! (To be clear, this is different than the one that I posted yesterday. That one was related to his attempt to delay the case by trying to get a venue transfer.)

N.E.B. (or anyone else) can you confirm whether this is real? I'm having a hard time believing that it is.

Until today, when 419 food trucks entered Gaza.
Both numbers are still well below the minimum number necessary to avert disaster.

Re: Trump Indicted for Conspiring to Overturn the 2020 Election

As several have pointed out, the most important part of the brief is the last part on pages 44-48, in which the SCO gives the court an "out" to rule that there is some immunity but still allow the trial to proceed without further delay. https://twitter.com/alegalnerd/status/177749032915303...

Re: Roe v Wade has been overturned. How do you feel about that?

I wonder if it hurts or helps Donald Trump that he's taking criticism from the right. My tentative opinion is that it hurts him.

Trump is going on a rampage against Lindsey Graham because Graham criticized his abortion statement.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

The judge said that since the parties could not agree on a summary, he would write his own. I am quite sure that the D.A. is happier with it than the Trump team.

Meanwhile, Trump is making a last-ditch effort to get the appellate court to delay the trial. That will fail, I'm sure.
