That could very well be. When it gets to the Supreme Court, how do you expect Trump to fare? In the last few years, a number of cases involving Trump have been heard by the Supreme Court. I don't know of a single one in which SCOTUS ruled in Trump's favor. When you lose every time one of your...

He has the right to appeal and to make any argument he wants. He has done so. Now we wait to see what happens.

You are correct in the sense that the constitution itself does not give the president the power to unilaterally terminate the constitution with the stroke of a pen or executive order. If elected, Trump will undermine the constitution by appointing like-minded authoritarians to key roles who will...

That is irrelevant to whether or not a fraud was committed. If you send an email to people offering an investment opportunity that pays a guaranteed, risk-free interest rate of 15%, but your plan is to run a ponzi scheme instead, in which you pay early investors with the money you collect from...

No. That's not it at all. It's not about bias. It's about whether or not a judge objectively adheres to the law and provides a fair trial, notwithstanding the biases all judges as human beings have. Cannon's inability to do that is clearly demonstrated and fiercely criticized in the 11th...

So you say. I think this is groundless and the motion to dismiss the DC election subversion case will be denied. Which one of us is right? We'll find out soon enough. Mark my words. Chutkan will deny the motion and her order will be upheld on appeal. If this question makes its way to the US...

Yes, Donald Trump Has Called for the Termination of the US Constitution This is an old quote from December 3, 2022. I'm sharing it today because I stumbled across it and remembered a conversation here on EO where it was claimed by some that Trump has not called for the termination of the US...

I think it would be nice if the House remained in session when they are expected to. It would also be nice if they arranged for a successor speaker before booting the last one. And it would be nice if the House could pass a budget bill that does more than keep the entire US government open for...

I got a speeding ticket and had to go to court. That is not fair. Other people speed. The officer who cited me is corrupt. The DA who is coming after me is a corrupt democrat. The judge is deranged. This is a witch hunt. This is election interference. And no one was harmed. Everyone speeds. I...

It would be wise to do that, but can they pull it off? Also, the current rule was only recently adopted, back when it took 15 votes to seat McCarthy as chair. That newly adopted rule was part of the deal McCarthy made to win the seat. I don't know about the antiquated history part. In any event...

Additionally, over in the Senate, Republicans, are holding up the appointment of 300 senior Pentagon officials and the next Ambassador to Israel. They could overrule Tuberville in an instant if they wanted to. They are content to sit on the appointments instead.

House Republicans and All Americans Can be Very Proud The world was surprised this morning to learn of the massive, highly organized, and surprisingly successful attacks on Israel by Hamas. This has triggered a full-out state of war, the Israeli Prime Minister says. House Republicans are, to a...

Just Trying to Imagine As I review the court rulings, findings and orders regarding Trump since the 2020 election, I can't help but wonder what kind of legal operation he has, and what it must be like to be Trump, who now receives news from the courts several times a week. There are recent...

As I have said before, a practical effect of Cannon's willingness to delay the FL documents and obstruction of justice case is to clear the calendar for Jack Smith's prosecution of the federal election subversion case. Cannon is actually doing Smith a big favor by keeping these two major trials...

Has anyone noticed that the evidence clearly indicates Trump is guilty of obstruction of justice and the crimes related to the mishandling of documents? Does it concern no one that he actually endangered national security and undermined our justice system? Does winning an election to regain...

How much time? Time for what?

Can you tell us, what exactly Trump won in this ruling? What does he have now that he did not have before the ruling? What exactly did he ask for and did he get it? And this thing or things he got in the ruling, why exactly is it a "legal victory" as the headline suggests?

If the House Republicans do not modify the rule that any one member can make a motion to vacate the chair, thereby forcing a vote on that question, dysfunction is as likely to prevail under the new speaker as it was under the old.
