I know that, and so do people who live in winter states. They dress for the weather. And it's not like they are standing in line outdoors to vote. Caucuses are meetings held inside heated buildings. People drive cars and walk from them in parking lots into buildings. Total exposure is a minute...

In Iowa Caucus News Today ... In the Iowa caucus news today they're talking about cold weather. I grew up in Wisconsin and lived much of my adult life in Minnesota. Like Iowa, it gets cold in the winter ... and people learn how to live with that. But the way the news people (all networks) are...

Haley Bumps DeSantis Into 3rd Place in Iowa Polls That's a bummer for DeSantis. He's been campaigning nearly full-time in Iowa for weeks. As I said a few weeks ago, the more DeSantis campaigns, the less people like him. New Hampshire polls have him in a distant 3rd place...

He's not a flight risk if he's out on bond pending appeal, and the appeals process is years long.

I'm not sure any of the four criminal indictments will be thrown out. The Caroll case was not thrown out. The NY fraud case was not thrown out. As I think about it, I don't know of any Trump case that has been thrown out in recent years. That's not for lack of Trump trying to get them thrown...

Trump's NY Civil Fraud Trial Concludes "[Judge] Engoron already ruled that Trump and his co-defendants were liable for persistent and repeated fraud before the trial began. The 11-week trial late last year was held to determine the scope of damages and six additional claims from the attorney...

The right to a speed trial belongs to BOTH the defendant and the public. The term "felony criminal defendant" to distinguish from a "misdemeanor criminal defendant" and a "civil defendant." In the case in Judge Engoron's courtroom, "felony criminal defendant" would not apply. "civil defendant"...

Florida Races Toward the Dark Ages "This controversial [DeSantis-signed] measure has led to an unprecedented sweep of books, resulting in the closure of many school libraries at the start of the school year while reviews were conducted. Notable among the removed texts are reference books such...

From the article. Bold emphasis mine. It seems every public office holder from the president to local elections officials are receiving threats these days. But how much follow-through have we seen? Very, very little. These threats or suggestion of violence are all bark and no bite...

And let's not allow felony criminal defendants to delay the trial with bad-faith actions designed to drag things out. Lets give Trump his day in court ASAP.

Yes they are, and they are wrong. They already know they are wrong, but they're arguing the point to do what they can for their felony criminal defendant Trump. It will not be news to them that they are wrong when the court issues its ruling. The real issue here is tactics. Trump wants to delay...

A number of veteran expediters will remember Glen Rice, who was a role model and good friend to the expediting community for many years. It has been my honor to spend the last six days with him at the hospital and to support him now in hospice as his death approaches. Glen was hospitalized last...

No, there are not constitutional remedies for this. Other courts in other cases have ruled against Trump when he there made the immunity arguments. They ruled against him precisely because there are NOT constitutional remedies for this. The appeals court will rule against Trump in this case too...

The immunity benefits Trump is arguing in court he has would immediately accrue to Joe Biden if the court agrees with Trump's argument. That would free President Biden to commit any crimes he wishes against any political rivals he wishes. He would be immune from prosecution immune by virtue of...

Trump and his legal team are making things up to make the constitution say anything they want it to say. While I have no doubt that Trump wants to be constitutionally immune from prosecution for any crimes he commits, that is not the way things work in America. He's already been told he is not...

This report came first from ABC News. While interesting, it is yet another report that relies on "sources familiar." You are right, the truth comes out. If this report is true, the confirmed truth will likely come out at trial. There, the actual sources will be named or the actual evidence will...

Giuliani's (Groundless) Request for Delay in Fulton County is Denied https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/judge-denies-giulianis-request-extend-deadlines-georgia-election-case-rcna132601

Watching the Polls I have said many times in this forum that polls about a presidential election a year away are meaningless. Opinion polls closer to an actual voting event MAY be something different. Close to the event, the polls may be accurate. The difference between a distant event and a...
