Summary
Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to block his sentencing in New York’s hush money case, scheduled for Friday.
Trump’s legal team argues presidential immunity, citing a recent Supreme Court ruling shielding certain official acts from prosecution, though it excludes personal actions.
Trump was convicted in May on 34 felony counts for falsifying records tied to hush money payments during the 2016 election.
A New York judge ruled that immunity does not apply until Trump is sworn in.
Prosecutors must respond by Thursday morning.
Why even bother trying to stop it?
The judge has stated started that he intends to sentence him to an unconditional discharge, which means they just close the trial and let him walk out of the courthouse.
It just closes the case and lets him off the hook, delaying sentencing would just keep the trial open.As a convicted felon, many countries could refuse him entry.
This would be yet another step in having the entire conviction tossed.
He already has 34 felony convictions, so that bridge is very crispy for him already.
Understood, but today’s “SCOTUS” is at his beck and call.

SCOTUS?
Is that you, John Roberts?
Would it be rhetorical to ask if you’re American?

Why would it matter?
Because only an American would believe that Trump has the God-like power you’ve bestowed upon him.
It’s sad and pathetic, but explains the SCOTUS prostration.

China. Prove me wrong.

“A New York judge ruled that immunity does not apply until Trump is sworn in.”
Oh hey it’s Trumps literal bulletproof vest, delay!
It’s not like he used that for LITERALLY EVERYTHING EVER THAT COULD EVER MAKE HIM FACE JUSTICE!
No. Never.
…JFC
I assume Harlan Crow was called to offer a certain SCOTUS justice a well-deserved holiday all expenses paid, yes?

It would be both funny and painful if the SC decreed he was fully immune even while not president.
The SC will probably amend it to say president elects or prior presidents enjoy lifetime immunity. Hell they will probably go as far to say direct relatives will enjoy immunity
Sorta like asking his kids for permission to do as he says…
