As I sit here reflecting on the recent court filing that suggests Trump may have already been standing trial if not for Judge Aileen Cannon, I can’t help but feel a sense of frustration and dismay at the state of our judicial system. The fact that someone in a position of such power and authority could potentially be shaping the course of justice based on political allegiance rather than objective legal guidance is truly disheartening. The idea that a single judge could be the deciding factor in whether or not a trial proceeds speaks volumes about the impact of partisan politics on our legal system.… Continue reading
I cannot believe the level of absurdity and blatant disregard for justice that was displayed by Justice Samuel Alito during the Trump immunity hearing. His logic was beyond belief, and it’s terrifying to think that he is at the center of one of the darkest days in Supreme Court history. The fact that he and other conservative justices on the Court are maneuvering to protect Trump from facing consequences for his actions is a clear indication of the dire state of our judicial system.
The argument that allowing presidents to commit federal crimes without consequence is necessary for the stability of our democracy is not only flawed but dangerous.… Continue reading
As I read through the updates on the second day of Trump’s criminal case and the judge’s admonishment towards him for potential juror intimidation, I can’t help but feel a mix of frustration and disbelief. The blatant disregard for the judicial process and the constant attempts at manipulation and intimidation are appalling. It’s disheartening to see someone like Trump, who should be held accountable for his actions, continuously push the boundaries without facing any real consequences.
The fact that Trump’s lawyers had to confirm audibly that he waived his right to be at sidebars speaks volumes about his character. His presence adds nothing but chaos to the proceedings, and it’s about time that he realizes that his usual tactics won’t work in this courtroom.… Continue reading
I am beyond frustrated with the latest news surrounding Donald Trump and his blatant disregard for the law. Despite a gag order in place, Trump continues to escalate attacks on a judge’s daughter, showing no respect for the judicial system or the consequences of his actions. It seems as though Trump believes he is above the law, and unfortunately, he may be right.
The fact that Trump can openly violate a gag order without facing any real repercussions is alarming. It sends a message that the rules don’t apply to him, that he can do and say whatever he wants without consequence.… Continue reading
I am infuriated by the recent news concerning the bond reduction for Donald Trump in his civil fraud case. Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, rightfully fired back after a court ruled to proceed with a significantly lower amount than the original judgment. Let’s make one thing clear – Trump is not being unfairly targeted by Letitia James; she is merely executing her job to hold accountable those who have engaged in fraudulent activities.
What is most shocking to me is the lack of explanation provided by the appeals court for their decision. A mere page and a half ruling reducing the bond without solid reasoning seems like a slap in the face to the justice system.… Continue reading
