I dearly hope that Chutkan is saying that 45-91 will get a TOTAL of seven months to prepare his pathetic excuse for a defense…i.e., if his team has been at it for 4 months, they’ll get another 3 after the immunity defense is shot down.
I can’t imagine that she would re-start the 7 month clock after SCROTUS tells 45-91 that he’s not a king.
The president is not subject to the Disqualification Clause because he’s not an “officer of the United States” and doesn’t take the kind of oath that it requires.
He did not engage in “insurrection.”
The Disqualification Clause is not self-executing, meaning Congress must take steps to enforce it.
The Disqualification Clause doesn’t prevent an insurrectionist from running for office, only from holding office.
The Colorado court exceeded its authority under the Constitution’s Elector’s Clause.
Well at least McHenry acknowledges that governing is not why they are there. That needs to be gotten out of the way so the real business of politicking (seeking money and power) may commence.
Question for the lawyers here: why is a romantic relationship between a prosecutor and an investigator she hired a big problem? They’re working on the same side, I see no conflict of interest or conflict of commitment, and it’s a bit hard to believe it’s not common, among people working long hours closely together. Is this really a serious thing or just a defense team muddying the waters? I honestly don’t know and am asking those with expertise.

No, it’s more “if we add more unnecessary medical charges it will become even harder for poor women and POC to get the care they need.” Only rich, white, Christian women should be able to access first world reproductive health care.
Everything about trying to prosecute a deep-pockets defendant is fraught with this kind of crap. Even if you don’t have anything bad on your record, they can spend the time/money/lawyers/oppo research to make anything SOUND bad, and try everything to derail the ONE shot we get at these folks. Even to the point of attacking courtroom personnel based on anything they can dig up…like Engoron’s clerk.
Trying to hold a rich guy accountable for what he did to a romantic partner? Trying to get a big corporation to trial for their heinous behavior? It is so difficult even to get them, finally, lined up with a charge. They might have abused 100 people or 1 million people a million times. But we only get the whole teetering contraption loaded on the tracks once, and them toppling or derailing it begins immediately and is hanging by a thread right up until the last juror says guilty.
If there was a Willis romance within this legal team that overlapped with this case…it was going to be found out and used ruthlessly. No matter how well they separated official/private.
There really are no words adequate to express how fucking stupid she is or how infuriated the situation makes me. Probably won’t stop me from trying though haha
That’s one for the Pitchbot. Perhaps (y’all, you’ins, youse guys) can explain to me how telling people attending a march to march is strange. Is it because by using capitalization rules for the one word they’re trying to make it appear he was saying the month and not the verb?
