Trump Calls for the Supreme Court to Intervene By Charles Taylor (Florida)
With the indictments piling up against Trump, all bogus and constructed to destroy his electoral campaign, he has called on the Supreme Court of the United States to stop this blatant electoral interference. But, as the lamestream media notes, the Court is not pro-active, and is mainly a venue of judicial review. Still, the idea of pushing this into the higher federal courts, and then onto the Supreme Court, should get underway. Trump will not get a fair hearing in the venues where he is.
As I have said, this is extraordinary stuff to see such trumped-up charges getting pushed in acts of lawfare. It is clearly a move which raises the bar to make it that much easier for Civil War 2.0. The Democrats must be itching for it as much as they want war with Russia. And who knows, the tooth fairy may grant both wishes.
“Less than one day after being arraigned on charges of trying to subvert the 2020 presidential race, former President Donald Trump on Friday called for the U.S. Supreme Court to step into the 2024 contest.
Trump, the top contender in the Republican presidential primary, claimed that dealing with numerous ongoing legal battles amounts to “election interference” — the very thing he is accused of conspiring to do in his latest indictment.
“My political opponent has hit me with a barrage of weak lawsuits, including D.A., A.G., and others, which require massive amounts of my time & money to adjudicate,” Trump wrote Friday morning on Truth Social.
“Resources that would have gone into Ads and Rallies, will now have to be spent fighting these Radical Left Thugs in numerous courts throughout the Country,” Trump wrote. “I am leading in all Polls, including against Crooked Joe, but this is not a level playing field.”
“It is Election Interference, & the Supreme Court must intercede,” he wrote.
While the Supreme Court has in the past been tasked with making major decisions about presidential elections — perhaps most notably by ruling on a disputed recount in Florida in 2000 — it’s far from clear what Trump expects the high court to do about his 78 criminal charges. In most cases, the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction, meaning it considers cases that have been appealed from lower courts.”
