1. Loosing (likely 9-0).
2. Biden getting an excuse to pack the courts.
Hmmm… suddenly running out of money?
So he’s liable here but not liable for the criminal case?
Trump saw running for President as a business to make money and like every business he has ever been a part of it ends badly for him.
As The Rolling Stones said…you can’t always get what you want. You can try. Trump’s biggest mistake was putting himself under national scrutiny by running and becoming president. If he’s just kept his con to NYC real estate and banks, he might still be partying heartily. It’s hard to have any kind of sympathy for that devil. Cliches…sorry.
Trump doesn’t want to risk a trade off between keeping him on the ballot and not giving him immunity.
How can he both forgo civil immunity and yet still be claiming criminal immunity?
Even tinier hands
Someone told him he would lose…
No wonder Lara Trump is shaking down the RNC for more rubles. Dude is broke!
Did he read the room and decide he did not want that level of precedence set?
Can they take trump tower now?
How long till they start grab his properties by the p!@#$%
I think this is part of Trump’s broader strategy of delaying his criminal trials until after the election.
If SCOTUS finds that Trump does not have immunity in civil cases, he almost certainly doesn’t have immunity in criminal cases. His criminal immunity claims are still working their way through the courts. They’re bogus, but they’re doing their job of slowing down his criminal cases.
I suspect Trump is worried that a SCOTUS ruling on the civil side risks accelerating his criminal cases by effectively (or entirely) settling his criminal immunity claims.
Broke as fuck.
For once, Trump has made a wise legal decision.
Serious question: you think it’ll pile up enough that he drops out? Or is it being elected still his only option to get him out of the rest of the shit?
Wait so the constitution says presidents are civility immune from official acts and he is not appealing the case that says Jan 6 is outside of the official acts. But he is appealing the criminal one, where the constitution never suggests he would be immune?
It’s a bold strategy, Cotton….
I guess he’s tired of winning……
He has another immunity case going to the Supreme Court. This one is a civil suit.
Look at it this way, even his most ardent suckers are getting bled white and are going to cut back. It’s been years of him leeching.
Don’t get excited, what he’s doing is preventing the court from ruling against immunity now. If he wins the presidency he will try again and basically strong arm/force the court to grant general immunity…and there is your dictatorship.
From the article:
A three-judge panel unanimously ruled in December that Trump’s post-election efforts to change the results of the 2020 presidential election were done as a presidential candidate and not as president, meaning he could be held liable for it under U.S. Supreme Court precedent.
————————
This right here is why Trump’s immunity argument for his various cases is insane. He argues that his crimes were a part of his official duties as president.
And the panel rules correctly that running for reelection is not an official duty of the President.
My mother mentioned this at lunch today and believes that his atty’s once again screwed up and just missed yesterday’s deadline.
Did he really opt against it, or did Alina Habba not tick the “appeal” box?
If this blows up in his face at the Supreme Court it’s over for him. Instead he now has a way to stall the other trials.
This is the slowest orgasm I’ve ever had
His criminal trials are by far more important to him (and to his lawyers who obviously talked to him about this). Burning every bridge with the SC won’t win him any favors so he’s, smartly (and again this is 100% his lawyers influence) saving his gun powder for criminal, not civil, verdict appeals.
What’s the angle?
Translation: Lawyers demanded to be paid in full upfront before preceding with the appeal.
>Trump’s decision to not take his broader immunity claim to the Supreme Court means lawsuits seeking to hold him accountable for his role on Jan. 6 can move forward.
Paging Jack Smith… oh, he’s already here.
So that means it can go forward now?
Who wants to bet one of his homes on the Supreme Court went ahead and called Donald to let him know him doing it will just lead to them denying it, and to save face and tuck his tail
Ok, this is the one that seemed least like to be good for him, but god, the idea that the Justices *might* decide he deserves absolute immunity was making me overwrought!
He broke y’all, I guess that is why he needs the GoFundMe from the multiple rubes
