Whatever the reason, the guys going to be famous now in law circles for a long time to come. How many other lawyers can say that? I say good for them. I mean yeah, they should probably still be disbarred though.

Jaxyon posted:He literally just has to stall with bullshit until he becomes president in 2 years and clears himself of all wrongdoing. If he wins, or when ever the next republican gets in there's a fair chance they'll just do it. Honestly their seems very few republicans who might run that wouldn't, wither they be Trump aligned or just see it as an easy way of showing to their base they're ain't democratic enough, who wouldn't.

Sensible well adjusted people who don't just constantly gently caress up just chose not to be involved in any of this. See also: Alex Jones bankruptcy trial.

I'd assume you can nominate them, and if it's a solid state for the other party they may not be a problem. There have been plenty of candidates who have run who haven't been on the ballot in even nearly every state.

Gyges posted:The GOP would probably just run whoever the VP candidate is for the possible Colorado EC votes. Which would set up a theoretical situation where Biden is Pres and has a Republican VP. With how powerless -unless it's a Bush case where they specifically give them power- would this effect anything other than having the tie vote in the senate and possibly being sorta funny. Was a time when the VP was just the runner up in the presidential race so you know normally the opposition.

The Chicago 7 and their layer famously got a whole bunch of contempt of court charges and jail time handed out. As that trail was a circus -and many lawyers, not involved in the trail, at the time were opening questioning the judges decisions- and did end in a mistrial, it's probably more of an example of why judges wouldn't hand out more jail time for contempt of court rather than then why they would.

Look as someone who is elected to the US Federal Government, you can either be elected as an Officer or a Gentlemen. Obviously as president you are elected to be a Gentlemen, so as to be gentle to those whom over you rule. Um, although maybe at least one of those terms need to be updated a touch.

Cimber posted:Its almost like the Alex Jones legal strategy of telling the judge to go gently caress himself is sub-optimal. But I heard judges looked really favorably upon you when you do that. Showing dominance and what not. This is also why at the start of any case you should piss on the prosocutors table, the judges throne thingo, and the jury box, just to mark your territory. So yeah drink a lot before you go in.

Eletriarnation posted:How would they do that, outside of the context of a case coming to them about a specific president? Federal courts don't issue advisory opinions. Then how did they issues an advisory opinion for every one to stay away from trump cos he stinks. Huh wise guy.  Also, with all the different lawsuits against trump at the moment, does anyone know how much aprox it might be costing him/his campaign to fight them all? I'd say it would be a bit, but he doesn't seem to be hiring exactly the best lawyers, so would this be more of a trivial cost for him?

Ogmius815 posted:Well, kind of. The Supreme Court only has jurisdiction to decide actual cases, it doesn’t issue advisory opinions. In other words, it doesn’t just settle abstract points of law; it only “says what the law is” in the context of dealing with an actual live controversy before it. Seems the Supreme court would be much more efficient if the judges operated by judge dredd rules.

I mean doing more legal work for trump, unless he manages to bring down more charges on himself, won't actually change anything about his financial situation. Rudy 100% currently isn't smart enough to remember to be asked to be paid in advance.

Would trump dying stop all his law suits? I thought he still had a few lined up that were business/personal(being sued and what not) related that might continue as they would just go against his estate? Edit: I assume modern courts still follow the Pope Formose tradition when it comes to posthumous trials?

And there's record of at least quite a few of them saying some pretty strong words about what they planned to do before hand. I mean it is easy just to type words on the internet though. Even the ones that were indicating they were planning more violent actions before hand I doubt would of done anything if there wasn't a massive eager crowd with them. Two dozen or so old fat geezers in cameo gear would of been treated very differently if they had come to try and break into congress by themselves.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:A state conviction would be harder to avoid BUT there is a strong constitutional argument that an individual State cannot imprison the federal president without impermissibly interfering with the operation of the federal government, which again, probably a strong enough argument with the current Supreme Court to get him out of jail at least till his term ends. Yeah as states being able to jail presidents could cause obvious issues. I assume the likely outcome would just be postponing the jail time until after their term(s?) ended. Can just imagine a president skipping the inauguration of the next president and making sure their in another country by the time the next pres is sworn in. Can't really stop them at airport security when their flying airforce one. Wait do world leaders use passports? I can't imagine the US president being refused entry to a country because a Staffer forgot to pack it. Edit: Maybe in Germany. dr_rat fucked around with this message at 14:34 on Jan 12, 2024 |

I assume someday Nic Cage will play a character who steals it so that he can legally sign some legislation or something. A national treasure type movie where Cage steal the passport and starts country hoping on it, pretending to be the US president at every border would be amazing. While being chased by the actual -very furious- president and their entourage who the boarder guards never believe because they don't have the passport would be amazing.
