The last hope for a small glimmer of sanity in the years-long saga of the lawfare warriors against President Trump has been extinguished by a 5-4 vote of the United States Supreme Court in the following order, handed down late on the evening before the day the Democrats will have their most fervent wish granted: that President Trump will start his second term as president of the United States as a “convicted felon”: (ORDER LIST: 604 U.S.) THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 2025 ORDER IN PENDING CASE 24A666 TRUMP, DONALD J.

January 10, 2025 "The three liberal justices were in the majority with Chief Justice John Roberts and fellow conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett."

Any action taken by any officer of the DOJ, or it's Leo's not following the Constitution is null and void. Trump will wear his "convictions" as the badge of honor they represent - an enduring commitment to service and sacrifice for We the People of the United States.

Roberts' vote was expected. But e' tu Amy? Trump stood up for you and Kavanaugh like no other President has ever supported and stuck with his appointees. And you do this? What garbage. Does anyone know who recommended Barrett to Trump? What a huge disappointment.

The SC disgraced themselves today, throwing themselves in bed with the likes of Merchan and Alvin Bragg, not very good company for anyone that thinks anything of their reputation. The cowardice of Roberts and Barrett is palpable. You have ruined your reputation and for what? The voters have already entered their judgement on this case by elected Trump as the 47th President, dismissing all the lawfare cases as political scuttlebutte. Heroes are that because they rise to the occasion, but you chose to sink to join the company of the corrupt and evil. Enjoy your new friends.

The test is not whether they rule in favor of Trump, but whether they apply the law correctly. It is actually better that they demonstrate their independence.

It's becoming clearer after almost every decision by the Supreme Court that the one of the justices seated during Trump's first term are not conservative at all. It looks like the Supreme Court is not a majority conservative court but leans liberal.

SCOTUS typically avoids political cases until they have run through "the process" so that issues can be adjudicate at the lowest court level possible. They want to only deal with the cases which haven't been solved at lower levels.

The SC ruled on the merits of the request for a stay, not the elements of the trial. The specific improprieties and procedural issues of the trial will work through the appeals process and may yet, properly wind up before the SC. It was not a task for the SC to rule based on denying democrat talking points. Trump will win on appeal, whether at the state or federal levels, and the whole sordid mess will fade away, with Trump sitting in the White House. Trump didn't seem especially bothered by the ruling.

"no president in the future will ever be immune from this kind of scalp-hunting inanity" I'm not sure this is true. Trump will appeal and his assault on the NY perpetrators should be vigorous. He should demand the maximum compensation for his trouble and maximum sanctions against the NY justice system for the political show trial it carried out. There should be maximum public exposure and embarrassment for NY for what they did. As President, Trump has the political spotlight to shine on them for maximum effect. If the SCOTUS had slammed the brakes on, none of the above might happen and NY could slink away to do it all again someday.

Names and terms mean nothing. It took them four years to get that "convicted felon" label put on Donald Trump but he is still going to the White House and those lawfare participants will be tarnished criminals for the rest of their lives. The eventual appeal will nullify even that because there was no crime, no proof and no conviction by a legitimate jury. I hope they enjoyed the circus because it's leaving town.

The Supremes did make a decision. They decided not to act and thereby gave support to the use of law fare. It granted the right to continue to use it as a weapon against Trump and his attempts to correct and expose the system. The idea behind law fare is it doesn't matter if they win or lose. The goal is to make him and his administration ineffective. They will not let up. They won the fight to use frivolous lawsuits to render their target ineffective and to bankrupt them. Make justice C. Thomas chief justice. Impeach Roberts and replace him with someone who has been reviewed by his administration.

I meant #11. This is the answer in more detail than in my #9. SCOTUS does not take cases, in general, until they have worked their way through the lower courts. They don't have time to handle a lot of cases, expect 99% to be handled by lower courts, and if they fail, then the Supremes take a case. Lower courts will overturn this, and I'm sure that the Supremes saw that this will happen, so decided to let the normal process play out. The case is crap from ten different directions, will be overturned.

Barrett is not and never has been a conservative. The only thing she is conservative about is abortion, other than that she is liberal. She is the Mit Romney of the Supreme Court and seems to be trying to make herself another Sandra Day OConnor.

In this episode of "Try to Control Your Shock and Amazement"... Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi has long been criticized for her seemingly uncanny ability to grow her investment portfolio at dizzyingly high rates of return. Pelosi and her husband Paul Pelosi have a combined net worth of nearly $250 million. In 2024, they managed to beat the S&P 500 stock index by 200 percent. According to financial data platform Unusual Whales’ 2024 Congress Trading Report, the Pelosi portfolio grew 70.9 percent between December 29, 2023, and December 30, 2024, beating the S&P 500 stock index by nearly 200 percent in 2024 and continuing their year-over-year streak of outperforming the index.

The late, great Andrew Breitbart was one of the most quotable conservatives of his era. "Walk toward the fire," he exhorted his fellow activists. "Don't worry about what they call you. All those things are said against you because they want to stop you in your tracks." It was good advice when Breitbart said it during the contentious Barack Obama years, and it's even better advice during the era of hyper-woke dogma today. But if Breitbart the man is singularly identified with any one line, it would undoubtedly be his well-known quip that "politics is downstream of culture." Indeed, this pithy formulation became known as the "Breitbart Doctrine."
Supreme Court Chief Roberts Just Defended
The Censorship-Industrial Complex

Posted by FlyRight 1/10/2025 6:12:17 AM Post Reply
Over the last decade, America’s ruling class has used the threat of “mis-, dis-, and mal-information” to justify turning the awesome powers of the administrative state against domestic Wrongthinkers from elite orthodoxy. The most insidious and far-reaching manifestation of this phenomenon has been seen in the Censorship-Industrial Complex, which has eroded our First Amendment, thereby imperiling the republic itself. Alarmingly, a new report indicates that the Supreme Court — which refused to bring the censorship regime to justice — not only shares this regime’s concerns about “disinformation,” but likewise supports robust and widespread action to “combat” it. The report comes from Chief Justice John Roberts himself.

Elon Musk took yet another jab at Justin Trudeau after the disgraced Canadian Prime Minister tried to take a final stand against President-elect Donald Trump's rhetoric suggesting the United States could absorb the Great White North. Last month, Trump kicked off the entire controversy when he slammed Trudeau for bristling at his potential tariff threat to persuade northern leaders to tighten border security. Trump joked, "If Canada can't survive without ripping off the US to the tune of $100 billion a year, then maybe Canada should become the 51st state, and Trudeau could become its governor." Since that point, the 47th President has consistently chided Trudeau on social media.

Unless something is done to curb the democracy-destroying behavior of the Democrats and the deep state, the future of the country is still very much hanging in the balance. Thankfully, a new calendar and a new administration mark another opportunity for Americans to take back what is rightfully theirs. It won’t be easy. And unlike your New Year’s resolutions, these “ins and outs” should not be forgotten in a couple of weeks. But if they are executed correctly, it will be worth it.
