Anyone here who in the past few days said absolutely this abomination of a ruling by the MAGA judge

[Eliot Rosewater]

would be overturned, please bookmark this thread.

I want to be able to apologize to you and admit how wrong I am with the following prediction:

"Even though the SC has already made a ruling about executive privilege and Trump, that both the 11th Circuit and the SC will find a way to stop or greatly hinder any prosecution of Trump that is based on these documents"

OR

"Any successful conviction of Trump or Kushner or Rudy etal, will be taken to the SC and overturned."

That last one, is that a thing? Can a convicted felon, regardless of the crime, have the conviction overturned by the US Supreme Court regardless of the court they were convicted in? Can they say your constitutional rights were violated or some such thing?



But, if we are right, those of us who see no justice coming because of this, we need to make the point that NOTHING is the same as before. Assuming law and order exists, assuming the rule of law is a thing with the GOP, is a mistake to do. And the last thing we should be doing is poo pooing these type of situations.

But again, I want to be wrong, I do...

1. It may be that intelligence does NOT want to go to the mat on this, it is

compromising material maybe, on many people best left undisturbed. Kings and princes, Republican Senators, billionaires and their trillions doing naughty bad things. We let Saudia Arabia off the hook before, we're complicit in genocide with them, or we were in the dotard's day. The dotard was probably running a blackmail/espionage business right out of the White House (not unlike Spiro Agnew)

I mean, can you see the dotard resisting material to blackmail/get revenge on people? He lives for controlling people and exacting revenge. He loves it more than money.

2. I had hoped that Cannon would not do exactly what she did.

If she is merely incompetent then perhaps she will get over ruled and then the Pig will appeal to the full court.

Wash rinse repeat.

If she is not just incompetent but will have the backing of the federalist society buddies and our fascists on the SC it may be that they take the opportunity to strengthen the imperial presidency.

None of this reasonable, doesn't make sense but the state of politics has been weird since we have more polarized and the christofascists made their deals with the Pig.

3. The entire Democracy could hinge on the Supremes.

The fly in that ointment is then they will autocrat their way out of being necessary. But if that has always been the goal then their job will be done, and they can go home and be one of the privileged few. What a pile of shit this country is in!
