Mike Johnson Begs Supreme Court to Save Dear Leader Trump

The supreme courts creditability is already in the toilet, will they try to over turn this rightful conviction of Trump before the election?!!

What the hell is this holy than thou religious crackpot Mike Johnson doing, did he meet with court conservatives on this matter?!!

House Speaker and fascist elf Mike Johnson called in to Fox and Friends on Friday to express his desire for the Supreme Court to “step in” and overturn the criminal convictions handed down by a Manhattan jury against Trump on Thursday.

During the segment, which Johnson published to his official YouTube channel, Johnson intimated that he’s spoken with Supreme Court justices who are “deeply concerned” about the criminal justice system functioning properly for once. “I think that the justices on the court—I know many of them personally—I think they are deeply concerned about that, as we are. So I think they’ll set this straight.”

Johnson, either from wishful thinking or showing his hand, shifted from what he thinks and hopes the Supreme Court will do to essentially speaking on behalf of the court’s conservative bloc, promising viewers, “This will be overturned, guys, there’s no question about it; it’s just going to take some time to do it.”

Trump has plans to appeal his conviction, after issuing a variety of false statements about the trial over its duration. Per New York penal law, he has 30 days to submit the appeal—which would come just weeks before his July 11 sentencing hearing. That appeal would begin at the New York Court of Appeals. If that state-level court denies his appeal, Trump can petition to ask the Supreme Court to review the case. Considering the conservative majority on the court, with its three justices directly appointed by Trump, they’ll likely hear the case and potentially overturn the conviction. How long that process takes can range from months to years.

What a crock, the Supreme Court is the final arbiter, for both political parties.

It is 6-3 now though.

The Supreme Court cannot voluntarily interfere into anything. It cannot initiate action but must wait until petitions are filed asking the court to hear a case. It must first usually start at the lower court level and go up through the appeals courts. The Supreme Court would only have jurisdiction if the appeal involves a federal constitutional issue.

The Supreme Court can do whatever it likes, as it showed with Bush v. Gore, swiping the case when it was still in progress, and on the sketchiest of legal theories. If five of the justices have an urge to save Trump don’t bank on judicial restraint.

Yes. Like taking the case of immunity right now and refusing to do anything with it. Fuck them.

Even in Bush v. Gore the court did not voluntarily interfere in the process. It granted a writ of certiori (petition) to an application submitted to the court.
 
If the SCOTUS butts in and overturns this it would likely motivate voters against Republicans for November just like Roe.
 
There is hardly an emergency here compared to being in the middle of vote counting in 2000.
Yeah, the emergency was to stop the count while Bush was ahead. Here it will be to settle the case in Trump’s favor before the election. The only roadblock will be if Trump has fewer than five on his side, and he may.
 
Mike Johnson is a total asshole, and so are the six Republican SCOTUS Justices.
They illustrate the catastrophic failure of our Constitution.

It didn't prevent it.
It offers no fix for it.

If they'd written it on softer paper,
it might have at least been good for wiping one's ass.

The “failure” doesn’t lie with The Constitution. It can’t prevent, can’t fix, ill will or greed.

If the Appeal Court rejects it for being groundless, they can kill it right there.

Our Constitution created an inefficient and easily corruptible form of government.
It gave conservative rural areas far more political power and representation than their population numbers warrant.
It made Donald Trump possible.

Our inadequate education system has brainwashed people into thinking the Constitution is the greatest document ever drafted.
It may have been well-intended, but it was very poorly executed. More modern democracies have done better.
