Trump’s latest appeal has been denied

An appeals court judge has once again denied a request by Trump’s attorneys to halt his criminal trial as they seek to have the case moved outside of Manhattan.

Justice Marsha Michael issued the ruling just minutes after a brief hearing. The arguments in the midlevel appeals court came hours after the jury selection process concluded in Trump’s criminal trial, which is currently taking place roughly two miles south.

The ruling will allow opening statements to take place as soon as Monday in Trump’s criminal trial.

An attorney for Trump, Clifford Robert, is arguing before a midlevel appeals court that Judge Merchan has rushed through the process of jury selection in the hush money criminal case, preventing Trump from receiving a fair and impartial jury. He is arguing for an interim stay of the trial pending a motion to have the venue moved outside of Manhattan.

“The way that such a large cross section of people were immediately disqualified because of the biases they mentioned to the court is proof positive … to the predispositions of these people,” Robert said.

He described the speed of jury selection as “untenable,” accusing Merchan of failing to properly uncover bias among the prospective jurors. As an example, he cited a woman who was initially picked for the jury but asked to be removed the following day after acknowledging that she could not be fair.

The woman who asked to be removed did so after her identity was disclosed, and she said she feared for her life.

[N-OS X-tasy!]

Law schools will use this Trump trial as a case study for decades to come.

Yeah, I think I read about that...

"Former President Donald Trump and his allies filed over 60 lawsuits challenging the outcome of the 2020 election based on allegations of fraud, despite no evidence of widespread fraud that could have impacted the results. Nearly every single lawsuit was rejected, thrown out or withdrawn -- including two denials from the United States Supreme Court."


“We won with poorly educated…" "I love the poorly educated!"

I think the number was 61 out of 62 lawsuits LOST. They had one success.

The decisions have came from both Democratic-appointed and Republican-appointed judges – including federal judges appointed by Trump.

Trump's cult is easily misled.

“The lone victory for the Trump team was a small one. A Pennsylvania judge sided with the Trump campaign, ruling that voters could not go back and “cure” their ballots if they failed to provide proper identification three days after the election. The ruling affected few votes and did not change the outcome in Pennsylvania, which Biden won by 81,660 votes.”
