‘Novel’

April 9, 2024April 8, 2024 ~ susie

NEW: Jack Smith has filed his brief with SCOTUS slamming Trump’s immunity claim as “novel,” “sweeping” and refuted by history.

Rightly so: the absolute immunity Trump seeks is something that belongs to dictators, not an American presidenthttps://t.co/8EDDHWfpcz pic.twitter.com/FMHgUWa4jU

Important @RWPUSA — please give a read, what national security professionals say about absolute immunity matters! And they say there is no such thing https://t.co/nB7mupvgIw

JUST IN: Judge Cannon in the MAL classified documents case has DENIED Donald Trump's Motion to Dismiss the indictment based on the Presidential Records Act.https://t.co/JWN0912jEe

Judge Cannon just rejected Trump's bogus Presidential Records Act defense, but only for now. She has (weirdly and pointedly) refused to actually decide the issue, despite Jack Smith's warning that double jeopardy would then apply. I think Smith has no choice but to go to the 11th… pic.twitter.com/JcQzqOCJEl

I can’t watch these hearings. It’s too infuriating:

Yes SCOTUS is hearing arguments about a case with imaginary patients.

Yes SCOTUS is hearing arguments about a case with retracted studies.

Yes SCOTUS is hearing arguments about case that has no standing, yet Trump-appointed judges are ignoring that. pic.twitter.com/8HeVbj0n0f

Today, #SCOTUS is hearing oral arguments in AHM v. FDA – a case brought by extremists with the potential to restrict access to medication abortion across the U.S.

We represent the nation’s sole manufacturer of generic mifepristone in fighting back.

On Tuesday, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan batted away several of Trump’s efforts to waylay his hush money case, and doubled down on his warning that his legal team must ask for permission in future filings in the case. https://t.co/7MKF7RpPIo

Spring is here

Two court clerks tell me that the New York AG has effectively placed liens on everything Donald Trump owns in Westchester County.

Her target? Seven Springs, his 212-acre forested family estate.

“Two employees at the clerk’s office explained that the move effectively means that the AG has placed liens on all properties that belong to Trump, Don Jr., Eric, the Trump Organization, and two of their other listed corporate entities.

With SCOTUS ruling just allowed Texas to go forward with its new version of the "show me your papers" law, which allows Texas to round up any brown person on the street for a "suspected" violation of immigration laws.

We have seen this before. https://t.co/q1tGPxH4EO
