New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has rejected an attempt by President-Elect Donald Trump to dismiss his business records case and ordered sentencing for Jan. 10.
In his Jan. 3 order, Merchan rejected the idea that the Presidential Transition Act, the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, or presidential immunity—each of which had been cited by Trump’s legal team—required vacating the jury’s verdicts or dismissal of the indictment.
Merchan said in his order that he wasn’t inclined to impose a prison term on the president-elect. Citing concerns about presidential immunity, he also said that “a sentence of unconditional discharge appears to be the most viable solution to ensure finality and allow the Defendant to pursue his appellate options.” more
It would be illegal, and therefore a total no-no, for tens of thousands of people to call in Merchan courtroom bomb threats on the 10th.
A petty man petulantlty offering a petty insult because he can.
Shame he doesnt take the subway.
Merchan is the face of a wicked evil. Cloaked in the wrappings of a corrupt government office.
We must forever meet evil in kind. Exhaust it. Expose it. Wipe it from the earth. Humanity will not progress until we do so.
Some kind of new BS in the works. Maybe to justify their plans for Jan 20th.
I’m going to go with Admiral Ackbar, “It’s a trap!”
A court system so bad that even a kangaroo would find it offensive.
I don’t trust any of them. At least until January 21.

I don’t trust any of them. At least until ̶J̶a̶n̶u̶a̶r̶y̶ ̶2̶1̶ THEY ARE DEAD.
They’re simply trying to force Trump to pardon himself to mitigate the hideous pardons Joe Stupid has done and will do.
robe-****** merchan-dise, proceed @ your own risk
One thing to consider though, should Trump actually appear in court on January 10: he will be surrounded by his Secret Service contingent. It’s not like the judge can have him marched off in handcuffs.
I have a feeling the new AG, Pam Bondi will have a message for Merchan and Alvin Bragg. Bragg is elected, but pretty sure he can be disbarred.
Jail the judge.
This is a setup to claim he can’t take office as a “convicted felon”. The democrats will never end the bullshit until they start getting punched in the face hard for acting as they do.
This is a State charge. A pardon would not cover it. The remedy is a successful appeal and prosecutions of the perps including Bragg and Merchant.
