The judge knows the law and so do Trump's attorneys, and so do the justices on the appellate courts. If she committed reversible error, you can be sure Trump's attorneys will appeal. In fact, it is probable they will appeal even if she did not error.

Those were some expensive bots if getting rid of them reduced the company's valuation by $25 million.

Colorado Trial Timing Regarding the Colorado trial which is taking up the question of Trump's ballot eligibility under the 14th Amendment, we learned this today: "The trial is expected to last for one week and the judge has said she wants to issue her decision by Thanksgiving, so there is time...

Is Tucker Carlson a Rising Star on a Failing Platform? "X, formerly Twitter, is now valued at $19 billion, ... "This new valuation comes a year after Musk purchased the platform for $44 billion, ... "In July, Musk posted that X is “still negative cash flow” due to a “50% drop in advertising...

New York House Republicans Force Expulsion Vote on Santos Many House Republicans are not pleased with this action. But the New York Republicans know their seats are very much on the line. They cannot afford to have the George Santos taint follow them into election year 2024. This is an...

This FL citizen says it is very wrong for our governor (or any governor) to hold that job while actively campaigning to be president at the same time. Governor is a full-time job requiring the full attention of the person so elected. As a taxpayer, I don't want to pay my governor to run for...

There is nothing unconstitutional about a gag order properly imposed by a court. They are common. If they were unconstitutional, they would have been ruled out by the US Supreme Court long ago. Yes, SCOTUS sometimes reverses itself, and that could happen here, but it is highly unlikely. And for...

We will never know.

Busy Week in Court Coming Up In the NY fraud trial, the witness stand will host three Trumps this week; Eric, John, Jr., and Ivanka. Donald Trump will take that seat next Monday. After Donald testifies, the prosecution will rest. Additionally, the Colorado ballot eligibility trial begins this...

The fact that others have done it does not make it right. If you run for office and win, the voters have the right to expect you to serve out your term or resign before you run for president. That was the state's official position for years. Florida had, until recently, a "resign-to-run" law...

But Chutkan is not listening to you, is she? She seems to know a thing or two about the law. In her considered opinion the points you make are meaningless and the gag order is reinstated.

Irrelevant question to the point I am making. I'm saying Johnson will be the poster child of far-right anti-abortion views, and Republican incumbents who voted for him to be House Speaker will pay a political price for doing so. Their opponents will seek to tie them to Johnson's extreme views...

DeSantis's story is his own. He trotted off to run for president, failed miserably on the national stage, and will return to Florida politics as a diminished figure and lame duck governor who is term-limited out.

We'll just have to wait and see (1) if he appeals to the Supreme Court, (2) if he does, will the Court take up the case, and (3) if they do take up the case, how will they rule? Trump is very, very good at losing in court. I'm confident he will lose this case too after all appeals are heard...

Judge Chutkan Reinstates Trump Gag Order "The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s federal election subversion criminal case has reinstated the gag order she issued on the former president earlier this month. "US District Judge Tanya Chutkan also denied Trump’s request to issue a long-term stay of...

Trump's appeals have reached the US Supreme court a few times in the last few years. I do not recall the number. Neither do I recall a single case where that Court, including three Trump-appointed justices, ruled in Trump's favor. His loss rate at the US Supreme Court is 100%, compared to his...

A great governor would not turn his back on the people who elected him to be a governor to trot off and run for president.

It seems highly unlikely Johnson will keep federal noses out of state abortion business. It seems he has cosponsored legislation and publicly favors a national abortion ban.

To determine what is and is not extreme, you must first establish the context. In a group of three people, the odd man out is the extremist. In a group of 1,000, the other two may be the extremists. For the purposes of flipping the House in 2024, the context is the general population who votes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Appeal, appeal, appeal. If you review Trump's history in the courts, you will see that he almost never wins when he appeals. His loss rate on appeals is worse than his loss rate overall. At present, his overall loss rate is 92.2%. In this case, the sooner Trump appeals, the...
