Michael Popok: 'Supreme Court Finally FACE TO FACE With Donald Trump Threats, NOW WHAT?'

"For the second time in less than 25 years, the United States Supreme Court may choose our next President, just like they picked Bush over Gore in 2000. Michael Popok of Legal AF explains how the Court’s decisions over the next 60 days as to whether  Trump can have his DC indictment dismissed on immunity grounds; whether 2 of his counts for obstruction of congress on Jan6 should be dismissed, and whether states can ban Trump from the ballot, coupled with their earlier political decisions on abortion, guns, voting, etc could choose our next president."

Just for the record: The New Democrat doesn't rely on the Medias Touch, whether you are talking about Michael Popok here, or Ben Mesielas, for their political commentary. (Left-wing propaganda might be more accurate) For the same reason why we don't rely on MSNBC's left-wing commentators for their political commentary, (or left-wing propaganda) because we're not leftists. We rely on Medias for their legal commentary because they're good lawyers and legal analysts. 

As far as Michael Popok saying "the Supreme Court finally face to face with Donald Trump... , that will be about presidential immunity and whether the President of the United States is above the law either as President, or after he leaves The White House, for criminal charges against him, when he was President. And you know where I as a blogger and where The New Democrats stands on presidential immunity when it comes to criminal liability. Of course no American is above the law, including the current President and former President's.

As I said last week on The New Democrat: 

"What we know about at least 7, if not 8 of the current U.S. Supreme Court Justices, including the 3 that then President Donald Trump appointed, is that they're not there to save Donald Trump's neck. (To put it mildly) They are there to interpret the law and rule of the constitutionality of current laws. 

We know that the current SCOTUS is not there to save DJT's neck,  because of all the rulings against then President Trump back in 2020, when he was trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election and just automatically get himself declared the winner of that election, regardless of the final vote tallies in the Electoral College. 

I'm thinking even Justice Sam Alito will rule against DJT because all the power it would give future Democratic President's and not just DJT.  And perhaps just Clarence Thomas rules in favor of DJT, or doesn't make any ruling at all, because he doesn't want to lose 8-1 on a case this important." 

The current Supreme Court, is  not a MAGA court, (to correct what Michael Popok said) with Clarence Thomas and perhaps Samuel Alito being exceptions to that. They proved that during the 2020 presidential election and they also showed that in Donald Trump's tax returns case. Assuming the Supreme Court goes by the law and the Constitution once again, they'll rule against Donald Trump again as it relates to presidential immunity and they'll do that fairly soon in 2024.
