Scoreboard: “my judges”

Trump stacked the deck pretty good in those 4 years that is for sure.

Fires the SDNY guy, and a few years later someone in that office plays hide the pickle with documents to get him some delays when he subpoenas and gets a document dump of them after the DA asked for them a year ago.

Has bullshit tossed against the wall about the Georgia DA having a relationship with a private contractor, which wouldn't even be illegal under Georgia law if they were both actual employees of the state.

Has the SCOTUS running delays in his DC case by slow rolling his stupid as shit immunity claims.

And then his appointed troll judge in Florida dong everything she can try to get away with to help him avoid his trial there.

This could go in other threads as well. Fifth circuit gives a leg up to the neoliberal death cult.

A possible path to getting the Jammed Cannon out of the way of a proper trial.

I cannot say I’m surprised.

Altio won't recuse

Scotus unanimously frees NRA to sue New York (perhaps to lose.)

The only real reason that Trump has not already stood trial for allegedly trying to steal the 2020 election is because the Supreme Court is controlled by a 6-3 conservative majority that has adopted completely unnecessary stalling tactics to delay the prosecution — now potentially until after the 2024 election. It should also be noted that this majority includes three of Trump’s appointees, three people who literally worked to deliver the presidency to the Republican Party in 2000, and some of the most political and ethically compromised justices in the history of the court.

Over the long haul, it is possible that the appellate courts could come to Trump’s rescue in the Manhattan case too, but he is clearly in no mood to pin his hopes on them. As a matter of brute political calculus, it’s hard to blame him.
