I watched Lawrence O'Donnell tonight with Neil Katchel(?). He said if it wasn't for Stormy Daniels' bravery the case never would have been heard. What ever happens, or I should say, when the NY case goes further Trump will be gone from office.haha, and the court was so kind.Stigmatized. The word stigma. Trump lawyer Seculow lost over that word.
They rejected the idea that "being stigmatized" was grounds for anything (a common thread of the trump campaign: the victims of mean ol' bullies, nasty people! Sick puppies, stigmatizing me!), but they didn't go further and state the obvious: One would only be "stigmatized" by presenting requested evidence in a criminal investigation, if that evidence somehow demonstrated that one's own guilt. Dang I wish they would have said it. But these written SCOTUS opinions are meant to be drier than the desert, and that is probably extraneous commentary, in Roberts's eyes.
The court of public opinion has decided the case already IMO.
