It's also the height of hypocrisy for you to whine about YOUR religion after supporting the dozens and dozens of antisemtic videos MB posted.   Apparently your religion deserves special treatment you fail to afford to others. 

Even weirder  you do that on a sports forum. 

It is weird. Its like we both don't care for persecution based on what religion a human practices.

As you mentioned and apparently conveniently forgot after the burn fell super flat,  it's a sports message board.  You're not being persecuted.   People just think your posts are terrible 

Please stop persecuting other posters for not posting in the forums you post in and also for not agreeing with you.   Your cancel culture persecution of people who happen to disagree with your multi-forum content is gross and also infringes on everyone's liberties.

Everybody is pretty calm no riots or protests that I am aware of. I would like to hear from Kimberly Cheatle as to why we had such a terrible security lapse. Like how the only building which was only 150 meters and perfect line of site from rally and the only in the area was not part of the security halo. I think that might quell some of the angst from the weekend. Has she made any statements I am not aware of? I am sure her handlers have advised her to not comment for 3-4 months after the independent investigation that will be conducted and completed. I think Regans took even longer tbh.

As much as I loathe Trump, there's something incredible about the amount of sheer luck the guy has. He's like a cockroach that somehow manages to scoot away at the last second from under your shoe. Father Time will eventually catch up to him, but I'm starting to think he may live past 100.

It's obviously bad, but it will be appealed and she may have removed herself from any further jurisprudence in the case if it survives appeal. 

What are the odds it gets successfully appealed and the case goes before a new judge post appeal? Can that legally happen or would Cannon stay on a a judge?

my stayed at holiday in express understanding is that appeal must win and upon remand they must also win an argument to get the judge changed.   There is a legal route.   Not sure the viability.

I’ve read they would appeal to the 11th Circuit Court which has overturned her rulings before. Probably more of a delay tactic.

If you find something enticing let me know. For a couple of years now I’ve been trying to sell that idea to my wife.

The Appointments Clause?!? Are you kidding me?!?

I figured it would have been on the grounds of the recent Supreme Court case. But it's on.... the Appointments Clause?!

I think they could theoretically just re-file without Jack Smith. I haven't read the full opinion, but I can't imagine how this ruling would get around basically claiming that all Special Prosecutors ever appointed by the DOJ are unconstitutional, because they weren't confirmed by the Senate. It's a joke.

It’s a moot point. I think it’s probable this ruling will be overturned, and yet nothing in time for anything to proceed before the election. So judge Eileen, Cannon, “mission accomplished“, your job is done. Put off this trial until after the election. Bravo miss.
 

and when Trump loses this election, given that we know it will be contested again, this trial will be put off for a while longer. However, there will be a day that it will come to trial, and be heard. And a jury of his peers will listen to the evidence and decide  his guilt or innocence. And that’s the way it should be.

…… That’s if we still do have a working democracy. Because if Trump wins, you can throw everything in my second paragraph right out the window.

This case wasn't going to be heard before the election anyway though, that's the weird thing to me.

The easy way to kick the can was already lined up by the Supreme Court. Prosecuting a former President will now take months, if not years, of evidentiary hearings to suss out the line between official acts and unofficial acts. That wasn't going to happen before November.

Footnote 61 from the opinion is telling as to Jack Smith's thoughts about this:

Quote

Insofar as the Special Counsel may argue that additional briefing on remedy is warranted, the Court explains the record and notes the Special Counsel’s full and fair opportunity to brief the matter of remedy.  This action presents a challenging array of issues, almost all of which are resolutely contested; the parties require no prompting before objecting, opposing, and otherwise engaging in “spirited” exchanges.  With respect to the instant Motion itself, both the Special Counsel and Defendant Trump submitted briefing; amicus briefs were received; and a lengthy hearing occurred.  Yet startlingly, the Special Counsel submitted nothing on the topic of the proper remedy for the Appointments Clause issue, despite challenging dismissal as a remedy in the Appropriations Clause context [ECF No. 374 pp. 22–23 (disputing dismissal and referencing alternative sources of funding); see ECF No. 671 (response to supplemental authority agreeing to supplemental briefing “on the immunity issue” and nothing more)].  Instead, counsel for the Special Counsel remarked at the hearing, in response to a question about remedy in the Appropriations Clause context, that: “to the extent that the Court is seriously entertaining the notion that there is a constitutional or funding problem, I actually think it would behoove the Court and the parties to have some additional briefing” [ECF No. 648 p. 44].  This last-minute reference to conditional supplemental briefing at the hearing—only if the Court disagreed with the Special Counsel on the merits—in no way signals a lack of a full and fair opportunity given to all parties to brief their positions....
