Time Mattered - Now It's Too Late

[gab13by13]

Andrew Weissmann said, the Supreme Court, de facto, gave Benedict Donald immunity.

Can't blame Jack Smith or judge Chutkan.

[BlueKota]

1. I knew his chosen ones would protect him

So Biden in my opinion should say then immunity applies to me too, and do whatever the hell he wants to.

[Diraven]

8. Bet they'll drag it out perfectly though

So only if Trump wins the election then he'll be the one that gets immunity. If they actually rule that Trump has immunity before election day there will be to much anti-Trump backlash with people trying make sure he won't become dictator.

[BlueKota]

11. You're probably right

[Pachamama]

17. He seemed to know it too....

[BigmanPigman]

2. I have been hearing a lot of anti-Garland

sentiment out there by the Dems today. I couldn't agree more. Garland blew it big time, just as I knew he would by his "I am not political" crap for 3 years.

[FHRRK]

4. Garland is a piece of shit

Anyone defending Garland, you make the call.

[gab13by13]

6. Did you hear what Adam Schiff said?

Schiff said that if it wasn't for the J6 committee that Benedict Donald may not have been indicted for anything.

I was given spankings here for criticizing Merrick Garland.

[BigmanPigman]

10. I stopped replying to all posts

about Garland since it was always border-line whether or not I was breaking a rule by not about supporting Dems. It was safer to stay quiet than going through that all the time.

[gab13by13]

15. Garland is an Independent

[markodochartaigh]

33. Independent,

noun, q.v. Good German.

[Codifer]

36. I first read that

As "impediment".

My bad.

[markodochartaigh]

45. In this case it seems

independent and impediment are the same.

[AZLD4Candidate]

19. Party over principle is always bad

[elocs]

40. Naughty, naughty. Can't criticize a Democrat no matter how accurate it is.

Been there, done that, got spanked as well even though I refuse to consider myself a DUer. I just post here and I've voted exclusively Democrats for over 50 years.

[TwilightZone]

3. That's not quite what he said.

He's been on several times in the past few hours, and the timeline has been discussed at length. He said that if the SC doesn't act immediately after hearing the case in April, it may be too late, but it still depends on timing. If they wait to issue their ruling until June, the timeline is very short.

Adjustments would need to be made either in the prep time allowed to the Trump team (currently planned as 88 days) or the trial length (currently planned for three months). If those adjustments can't be made, then it's running up against the date of the election.

[FHRRK]

5. FFS - GIVE IT UP

You can't move the Goal Posts again

You and others, WERE WRONG

[TwilightZone]

20. I'm not providing my opinion.

I'm providing what was actually said rather than the simplistic, kneejerk assertions made in the OP. That simply is not what was said, and the discussion has literally being going on for hours, several shows in a row.

If you want to make childish assertions and ignore what was actually said, that's your prerogative. It's clear that you haven't the first clue what I've said on the subject.

[ShazzieB]

39. I agree that the op greatly oversimplified what Weisman has been saving.

I've been watching MSNBC since the news first broke, same as you. I think people tend to pick up on the things that jive with their own opinions (I do it myself, for sure), so it doesn't surprise me that some people are seizing on the most negative comments that have been made by Weisman and others. I completely understand that, especially at a time like this, when people are so upset and worried. But it can still be hard to deal with.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

24. Wow...

...that's really rude.

[FHRRK]

44. It is who they are

A small but vocal group who don’t appear to support Western Democracy.

[gab13by13]

9. All I have to do is look at what the Supreme Court has been doing.

130 days to decide if it will hear the immunity appeal. Jack Smith asked the SC to take the case after the district court ruled, the SC said no, send it on to the Appeals Court, the Appeals court rules, then the Supreme Court decides it will take the appeal.

Early voting begins after Labor Day. What about that DOJ memo that has never been challenged that DOJ can't interfere in an election. There is a debate whether the time frame is 60 days or 90 days prior. Do you really believe that Merrick Garland will allow a trial to start in August? July?

It's over.

Once again; GOTV.

[Arazi]

13. Their ruling will be the last one issued, on the last day

Like a couple years in the past, they’ll drag it out into July before their ruling comes out. They deliberately sent this back to the circuit court (delay) when they didn’t have to. Now they’re having hearings?!

The corruption on this court can’t be ignored

[Sky Jewels]

7. Merrick Garland fucked us over thoroughly.

He will go down in history as helping to destroy US democracy.

[jalan48]

12. I'm beginning to think Garland was a plant. So many other choices and he's who we got.

[JanMichael]

14. Garland is an esteemed human being and super smart.

I will leave it at that.

[Earth-shine]

26. Very smart. So, he obviously could see this coming, and got the results he wanted.

I very much believe we'd have been disappointed with him as a Supreme Court justice as well.

[JanMichael]

35. He plays 12 dimensional chess. And reads minds.

And can fetch a stick when asked.

[Earth-shine]

46. Your response is just bizarre. It shows a lack of perspective.

[edbermac]

16. If they give Donald immunity, then that gives Joe immunity

And I hope he screws them over.

[dalton99a]

18. They will limit their ruling to Trump - "Our consideration is limited to the present circumstances...."

21. I'd guess they'd hate that - but if that's how it's played, then that's how we play it.

And sink our teeth into it. Deeply.

[0rganism]

27. They have to time their decision so it lands on Jan. 21

Granting immunity to any president other than Trump is not going to happen

[Silent3]

34. The point here is to provide delay, not to grant immunity

If there was any chance they’d actually grant immunity, so that the corruption was beyond merely buying time for Trump, then SCOTUS would grant such immunity only if and when Trump was sworn in as President. This immunity would not be granted in a way Biden could take advantage of it.

[PuraVidaDreamin]

22. Is it too late to indict him for TREASON???

Just to pile on!

[JanMichael]

23. Hahaha hahaha

Like that's going to happen

[MLAA]

25. I am despondent over this.

[MOMFUDSKI]

28. We can go to Biden who didn't fire Garland

when he failed to get it in gear. No one is going to save us but ourselves. Even voting is iffy because it could be stolen. The US is past the point that most democracies die. Anybody got some good news for me?

[lees1975]

31. I wish. But not really.

This has been set up for a long time. Rush Limbaugh openly advocated for Republicans to corrupt the judicial system to protect them from the surges of "liberal" voters after it became clear they were incompetent to govern. It was their way of making sure conservative values stuck around. And here we are.

The only thing I can say is that I hope this lights a fire under Democratic and independent voters to see how necessary it is to get out and vote, and then stand guard over the counting and certification process like hawks because they are going to cheat.

[lees1975]

29. Garland is partly to blame because of his admitted foot dragging.

At least a year was wasted.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

30. Putin is laughing. n/t

[BigmanPigman]

32. You got that right!!!!!

[mn9driver]

37. The current purpose of this court is to delay-NOT to grant TFG immunity.

Once the delay has made pre-election trials impossible, they will allow him to pardon himself the day he takes office. In other words, he will be allowed to grant himself immunity.

But he needs to win the election first. Expect a replay of 2020, but this time with actual election fraud and lots of extra violence.

[czarjak]

38. Whoever has the most money wins?

The American Dream, Donald?

[republianmushroom]

41. No, but what about the DoJ ?

Lot DOJ foot dragging.

[gulliver]

42. Deep breaths

The system is what it is. The pace is the best it can do. Any attempt to go faster would be rightly regarded as Garland trying to "get" Trump. It would be a sure and certain L for justice.

The W will happen when it happens.

[patricia92243]

47. During the Florida voting mess, Gore vs Bush, they moved within a matter of

days. They can get with it when they want to.

[mzmolly]

48. I think the SCOTUS could've dragged it out, regardless.
