I do find Trump’s nickname for Letitia James a bit below his standard. We all know “Peekaboo” is standing in for another word starting with a J, but I’m not convinced the majority of American Trump supporters even recognize that name. The over 60 crowd will know it immediately, but the younger one, not so much,

Gag order in N.Y. fraud case reinstated:

https://apnews.com/article/trump-fraud-lawsuit-trial-gag-order-15304270ea3f61284a414f938155ae62

Despite speculation on an expected narrowing of the order, the order was upheld and reinstated in whole. Engoron has promised to enforce it “rigorously and vigorously”.

Donald has now filed an appeal of Chutkin’s ruling of Dec 1, the one finding no absolute Presidential immunity in a criminal trial, to the D.C. Appeals Court, the same court that ruled on Dec 1 that he had no absolute Presidential Immunity in a civil case. He also cited that case as a reason that he is now proceeding under the understanding all proceedings are stayed until the appeal  is ruled upon. Basically, he’s saying he’s taking his ball and going home…expect a quite interesting response filed by Jack Smith and also some fireworks from Chutkin. A defendant saying we’re not participating to a Federal Judge isn’t likely to play well.

Additionally, Trump has filed a CIPA Section 4 request in Cannon’s court, demanding he and his lawyers be present, in contravention of CIPA Section 4, at the hearing. The problem here is it puts Cannon in a difficult position. The smart move is to deny the request, but Cannon isn’t that smart. If, and when, she approves the request, Jack Smith will finally have a concrete order that he can appeal to the full 11th District. Until now Cannon has been using so called paperless Orders to shuffle around the scheduling of the case, and these aren't appealable.

Trump gag orders now upheld in the NY fraud case and substantially in the D.C. Jan 6th case. The only major change on the D.C. gag order was allowing Trump to mention/attack Smith and to argue the trial was politically motivated.

Trump, who attended the trial late last week, is scheduled to be the last witness in NY fraud case Monday, with closing arguments scheduled in that case for January, and a verdict expected by the end of January.

He's pussied out. Or at least, I think that's what this drivel means.

Smith has appealed to the Supreme Court for an expedited hearing on Trump’s Absolute Presidential Immunity and Double Jeopardy claims. The Supreme Court has taken the case, with Trump’s response due by 18 Dec. This jumps the Federal Appeals Court, and works to keep the trial on schedule for March. After Trump’s reply, the sides with have 14 days to file their briefs and then a hearing will be scheduled promptly,

Regarding Trump’s claims, most Constitutional scholars consider them outlandish. Consider the Double Jeopardy claim, that he was impeached and not convicted, so he cannot be tried again in the courts…

Article One, Section Three includes: 

“Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.”

 

Yea, so, no.

So what does this mean? Is he really ineligible now to run for President, ineligible to be on the ballot in Colorado, or is this something he can just appeal/ignore?

It’s a mess. No, yes, yes/perhaps.

The ruling is on hold until 4 Jan, 2024, pending expected appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Since Colorado is expected to be a safe democratic win, it actually doesn’t have that much effect on the election, by itself, due to the electoral college.
