Sorry, when you've got three videos in a row, the likelihood is that nobody watches any of them.

Yeah, but they're all different viewpoints....

By the way, what are George Conway's conservative bonafides? I'd never heard of the guy until 2016.

Juror Misconduct?

[George K]

Lots of chatter that this was not a real person, claiming to be the cousin of a juror.

New York City Department of Probation officials questioned the convicted felon and Republican presidential nominee Tuesday in a presentencing interview, and part of the discussion concerned a gun registered to him in the state. Under federal law, convicted felons are not allowed to have guns or ammunition.

What is it with our politicians and gun laws?

[Jolly]

NYC has tough gun laws. Trump had a permit. I'm sure they were talking about the revocation of that permit.

Ain't it going to be a kick in the pants if Hunter wins an appeal based on the 2nd?

[jon-nyc]

I think he will. There’s already a circuit split on the constitutionality of the law.

[Axtremus]

Oy, the angst of having the name "Hunter" that is so well-suited to play savior for the Second Amendment and the name "Biden" so generally despised by the Second Amendment enthusiasts of his time.

[Jolly]

Nah. If it furthers the 2nd, let the SOB walk.

Should the SCOTUS’ “presidential immunity” ruling void the NY “hush money/falsification of business records” conviction?

Discuss.

Not at all. Happened as candidate Trump, and had nothing to do with his duties as president.

It should be voided for myriad other reasons.

Pretty much, although I saw where Trump's lawyers were going back through the case to see if anything applied.

Here’s what I don’t understand, doesn’t the change of the statute of limitations after the fact violate the principle of ex post facto law changes? They can change the statute of limitations going forward, but not after. That was settled in Stogner V California
