Supreme Cop-out

Last night, the Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 to reject Donald Trump’s emergency petition to stop his sentencing hearing in Judge Juan Merchan’s kangaroo court.

Usually, when the justices vote on whether or not to accept a case or a petition, we aren’t told how the justices voted. But the four justices who wanted to hear the petition wanted it known who they were. They were the four solid conservatives: Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh.

So, we know the others who rejected Trump’s petition: Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson, Roberts, and Barrett.

Chief Justice John Roberts seems to have as his top priority not conservative jurisprudence but protecting the “institution” or image of the court. Amy Coney Barrett embraced the view that the court will likely hear the dispute again through the appeals process, so let the process play out.

On the one hand, I was surprised by the decision. On the other hand, I was not. But don’t lose sight of the fact that the entire process in New York -- the case brought by Alvin Bragg and the judge’s conduct -- was beyond unjust. It was a perfect example of lawfare.

The charges against Donald Trump were completely made up. Alvin Bragg, a local prosecutor, was attempting to enforce federal election laws with misdemeanor charges when the statute of limitations had already expired! So, he invented a “novel approach” to turn the misdemeanors into felonies.

In the middle of a presidential contest, the judge forced Trump to sit in a courtroom day after day after day. Joe Biden publicly joked about the fact that his opponent was tied up somewhere else and not on the campaign trail. Democrat audiences roared with laughter.

The judge, who is a donor to Joe Biden and whose daughter is a major Democrat fundraiser, also put a gag in Trump’s mouth. He wasn’t allowed to talk about the case. They took away the First Amendment rights of a major contender for the presidency, who will be taking the oath of office in just a few short days.

It is hard to believe that this happened in America.

Joe Biden treats Gitmo detainees better than that!

So, it’s no surprise that this judge, who doesn’t deserve that title, insisted on today’s fiasco. It’s just another attempt to try to damage Trump just as he is getting ready to take the oath of office.

Soros-funded Bragg making up the charges, Joe Biden laughing about it, and a left-wing judge rigging the trial is all further evidence of why we desperately needed to elect Donald Trump.
