Alvin Bragg's case in New York has yet to produce anything that approaches an illegal campaign violation. Federal elections are typically governed by federal law. Bragg has a strange theory of a state misdemeanor in New York, together with document misdemeanors, that elevate it somehow to a much bigger case than it should be. I do not see anything illegal that's happened so far.
Everyone sees what is happening with Donald Trump and how differently he's being treated then any other defendant would be. These would be be much different trials if there were cameras in the courtrooms. This is election interference, an obvious attempt to keep Donald Trump off the campaign trail.
Political violence is never acceptable. Whether it is the riots in 2020 or the protests on college campuses today that are hostile towards Jews, these are violent protests in our major cities and there is no place for it. It's a terrible situation.
The challenge for the Supreme Court today in Trump's Immunity case is that there has been no fact finding up to this point. So the trial court has no facts. The most likely outcome is that SCOTUS sends this back to Judge Chutkan to get some factual basis to help the Supreme Court make a decision.
The Supreme Court hears Donald Trump's Presidential Immunity case today. This case puts at issue something that has never been decided, if a president is immune criminally from the acts they take while in office. I believe SCOTUS will not find the president has absolute immunity, but it will get pretty close to that issue.
The First Amendment allows individuals to speak their mind and protest peacefully. When you threaten violence or cause violence the line is crossed. Universities are pretzeling themselves into not being ant - Hamas or anti - Palestinian while at the same time creating environments that are very hostile to their Jewish students.
