    And the court could ignore all of that, too, and do whatever the fuck it wants just like it has been doing all along.

    With the current SCOTUS, appealing to 140 years of history still feels like a gamble. It feels like they’d throw out 1000 years of history and explicit wording from the Bible if it benefited Republicans.

      I doubt SCOTUS would touch this on appeal. The logic flies in the face of recent rulings. Even Trump’s AG used a special counsel. It should be quickly overturned by the appellate court

          I’d put money on it. Because it won’t matter. By the time the appeal is heard and new dates come along, one of two things will have happened. Either Trump will have lost and it won’t matter to republicans that he is facing charges, or he will be president and will fire anyone in the justice department needed to get the charges dropped under the label of “official action”.

    The bad news is that the 11th circuit has a markedly conservative lean last I checked, and the circuit justice is none other than Clarence Thomas.

    Notice when news sites use Trump photos framed to show his ear bandage prominently.

      That shit may end up backfiring on him, especially if he keeps wearing it for weeks after his fucking shaving nick would have healed already. He just looks like a pussy with it.

        That bandage looks so stupid. If Trump wanted to look tough, he should’ve have just had some stitches. Instead Trump is a little piss baby.
