Judge sets absurd trial date for Trump case

[EvilCat Breath]

Please try to know what you’re attempting to talk about before you post to confirm that you don’t.

There is no judgment notwithstanding the verdict in a criminal case. A judge can toss a conviction. But that not the same thing.

And, no. if a jury acquits, the judge can’t say shit about it.

And of course, in the event of a conviction, the judge is emphatically NOT the final say. The appellate court judges are.

And after that state Supreme Court and after that federal Supreme court.

The idea that questioning an election is the same as instigating an insurrection is a load of crap.

True, so why do all you prog scumbags equate them?

Ah...that was my point, Bulldog! So why are you on the left accusing Trump of insurrection for doing essentially the same thing that Al Gore did? Duh?

Another day closer to trial.

You keep trying to call them fake electors, Billo. They were alternate electors. Which electors are the ones that count are then decided by the courts. It's how our system works and it's how it's worked for a long time.

Alternate electors like alternative facts? Nice try.

 

[Billo_Really]

"Fake electors" is your bogus term, not mine.

And a few of them are going to jail.

 

[Billo_Really]

Did they claim they were certified by the state?

We will find out starting October 23.

That's just another example of the lies your talking heads have told you.

What trump did is not the same as what Gore did. Yes, they both contested an election, but nowhere near the same way. It is legal to contest an election as long as your actions remain within the law. Trump broke laws Gore didn't.

What law did Trump break?

Would you like me to assemble a montage of liberal talking heads accusing Trump of leading an insurrection? That was the narrative from day one and it's been repeated ad nauseum.

I agree that the term “alternative facts” makes no linguistic sense.

But an “alternative slate of electors” is not remotely akin to the former.

??? Here are the certificates. none of them say they were certified by the State.

American Oversight Obtains Seven Phony Certificates of Pro-Trump Electors - American Oversight

The phony electoral vote certificates from seven states were submitted to Congress as part of the failed attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Sure it does. Republicans have one set of facts to support their arguments. Dem loons have alternative facts - they are different from the Republican facts.

Lol. Facts are facts.

If the aforesaid Dem looms wish to contend that the circumstances reflect a “different” fact, then they aren’t positing any fact at all. Just a lame ass theory.

Lots of broken laws, but instigating sedition is pretty close to the top of the list.

Really? Which ones? What's the charge?

 

[bripat9643]

Really? Dims have posted many times in this forum that questioning the election is a crime.

No trial should be scheduled prior to the election.

All criminals should try that
