Couple Ls for the fat man

SCOTUS:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/010925zr_2d8f.pdf
The application for stay presented to Justice Sotomayor and
by her referred to the Court is denied for, inter alia, the
following reasons. First, the alleged evidentiary violations at
President-Elect Trump’s state-court trial can be addressed in the
ordinary course on appeal. Second, the burden that sentencing
will impose on the President-Elect’s responsibilities is
relatively insubstantial in light of the trial court’s stated
intent to impose a sentence of “unconditional discharge” after a
brief virtual hearing.Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice
Kavanaugh would grant the application.
IOW, the reason SCOTUS declined is because, as I noted above, the appeal process had not run its course.

He gets sentenced in NY (5-4 SCOTUS) and Jack Smith can release his report. (As he should, it’s the law. Remember Hur’s report?)
I guess this will officially make him a convicted felon.

The one the said over and over there was insufficient evidence to pursue him and then he threw in that comment so he’d be a magat hero instead of a magat goat.
But the point is the Biden DoJ released it.
Only non-witches get due process.

That’s the rub. Trump’s won’t show there was insufficient evidence to pursue him. Just not enough time, especially after scotus hit the ‘start over’ button in July.

IOW, you're willing to accept Hur's comment that there's insufficent evidence, but you won't accept the Hur's comment that, at the time the geezer was not quite as brain-addled as he is now.

I mentioned the Hur report. Despite knowing exactly what I was referring to you pretended to ask a clarifying question while your real intention was to frame it differently with some commentary. I did the same.

@George-K said in Couple Ls for the fat man:
ETA: Word is that his "sentence" will be --- nothing. He will have the title, much to many people's delight, of "convicted felon,"
Does that change anything, other than bragging rights?
It further legitimizes the saying “anyone can be the President” by demonstrating that even a sentenced convicted felon can.
Couple of convicted felons:
In fairness, though, MLK was jailed for a misdemeanor

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

No, you used the Hur report's conclusions selectively.

Heard some lawyers discussing todays "sentencing."
One comment was that it was "OK. You're done. Go live your life."
A more interesting one was a comment on the behavior of Merchan. In New York, court proceedings are not generally (if at all) televised. Merchan was explicit about not permitting any recording, audio or video, during this trial.
Yet, this morning, he wanted to have his comments aired.
Why?
Why did he break NY court tradition for this one event? Was it to demonize Trump? Was it for some self-aggranidizing motive? Regardless, it was highly unusual.
