4/15/2024 9:30 ET The People of New York State's Supreme Court vs. Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party

How sad is it that any number of states will not allow felons to vote for president, but every one of them will allow a convicted felon to be on their ballot?

[Motown Bombers]

The judge can consider character such as his numerous gag order violations and the E Jean Carroll case. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

As always, the irony escapes the people who chanted "lock her up!" in 2016 and claim to be the party of law & order.

There have got to be some Trump voters out there who can comprehend that this was a jury of his peers right? That this was the jury his attorneys agreed on? That this verdict was unanimous? That even one hold out could have made him not a felon, and died a MAGA hero?

Probably not. Still a good day.

Or that it was a state charge on state laws that didn't involve Biden or the federal government.

But Melania is voting for Biden!! 🤣🤣

Remember, Michael Cohen did jail time for the same conduct.

Thats at least 5th grade civics. I’m trying to keep it around 2nd grade social studies.

No.

First time offender. My prediction is he gets nothing. Perhaps a fine that he doesn't pay.

His fixer, Michael Cohen received 3 years under Trump's Justice Dept for virtually the same crime. Throw in multiple counts of contempt. 
 

He needs to go home to Father Vlad

Anyone think at the Republican National Convention Trump gets tossed out because he's a convicted felon?

And they vote Niki Haley as their candidate?

There's gonna be odds on that I'm guessing...

Nikki Haley picked the worst time to endorse Trump.

[MichiganCardinal]

I generally believe he should be treated like any other criminal. Which starts with getting sentenced per the guidelines. Generally that would be a year or two probation, a fine, maybe community service…. if he just shuts up and takes his sentence.

But he’s not going to do that. He and his cronies are probably going to go after jurors and their families, the clerks and their families, the judge and his family, and more in the next 5 weeks. He’s going to double down on his conduct. Continue to claim he did nothing wrong. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are massive disruptions at the courthouse, with MAGAs protesting and swatting (maybe even a 1/6 repeat at the sentencing).

It’s going to be hard for Merchan to watch the next five weeks and not sentence with that in mind. As he should, and as he would for any other convicted felon.

Boy, the hit dogs are a hollerin' tonight....

[MichiganCardinal]

I know the voting restriction in Florida was debunked, but I wonder how other countries will react. He’s not allowed in Canada, Japan, or Australia with a felony.

I think that is less likely than Biden pardoning Trump then declines to run himself
