    Now we wait for the supreme court to save him. If they do, what are we burning down first? Taking all suggestions.

      Nothing for them to do here, this is not a federal case, it’s a New York State case. He can only appeal within the state judicial system.

        A respectful court would agree. Let’s remember one judge hung two different flags supporting insurrection. Another judge has a wife that tried to personally have people over turn the 2020 election results. Bonus judge: Cannon blocking a case for classified documents being stolen.

        I have high hopes the courts will do nothing./s

          Respect has nothing to do with it. The federal supreme court has no jurisdiction over New York State criminal cases.

            I am not a lawyer, but this site states:

            “A litigant who loses in a federal court of appeals, or in the highest court of a state, may file a petition for a “writ of certiorari,” which is a document asking the Supreme Court to review the case. The Supreme Court, however, does not have to grant review. The Court typically will agree to hear a case only when it involves an unusually important legal principle, or when two or more federal appellate courts have interpreted a law differently. There are also a small number of special circumstances in which the Supreme Court is required by law to hear an appeal.”

      He’s going to get parole, and going to appeal. I don’t think there’s much for them to save him from even if they could.

        He’ll get fined, probably a big one. They will determine that he is immune from all legal limits as a president. Hopefully I’m wrong.

          The limits for fines here aren’t very high, I believe.
