So now that Ohio voters have engaged in the process and finalized their choice by enshrining reproductive rights in their state constitution, will the Ohio anti-abortion extremists accept the decision because the people truly spoke?

Big Ohio Abortion-Rights Win The tally is now 7 for 7. Since the US Supreme Court ended the abortion rights provided by Roe v. Wade, and left it to the states to make their own abortion rights/restrictions decisions, the question has been placed before voters in statewide elections seven...

Probably so, but it is only 50/50 that SCOTUS will hear such an appeal, and if they do, it is highly unlikely Trump will prevail.

In some ways he did. But in the ways that affect the dollar amount of disgorgement Trump will be required to pay, the prosecution pinned Trump to the ground, under the weight of the admissions he made. Trump succeed in using the trial to score political points. But those points count for...

Its' Nice to See ... It's nice to see Trump's fraud come into full view as the evidence is presented and Trump himself admits to it under oath. Ivanka's testimony on Wednesday will be icing on the cake. Then the defense gets to present its case, a case indefensible before the law and the facts...

Trump's "We Paid the Loans Back" Defense is Without Merit

Appeal Case Undermined by Trump Himself Translation: Trump's case is toast. Even on appeal, Trump is without a valid case to argue. Even if this goes to SCOTUS, Trump stands soiled by his own admissions and has nothing to offer to reverse Engoron's findings.

Trump's "Worthless Statement Clause" is not a Valid Defense

Trump Admits Key Fact From one of the attorneys I follow:

Testimony Tidbit NY attorney: Did you get copies of statements in 2021? Donald Trump: I was so busy in the White House with China, Russia, and keeping the country... NY attorney: You were not the President in 2021.

Midway Through Trump's Testimony The NY fraud trial in which Trump is testifying today is on a lunch break. I don't want to say much about it at this point because the trial is not televised and we're getting only bits and pieces as the testimony unfolds. In general, it seems that Trump is...

Dershowitz and me agree: "The ex-president’s legal advisers had long ago told Trump that his chances of winning at trial are close to zero — hence, their scorched-earth, 'Fyre Festival'-style courtroom performances. According to the three sources, several Trump attorneys and other key allies...

While Trump leads the Iowa polls by wide margins (43%), and while DeSantis does not even enjoy a clear second place spot (he's tied for second with Haley at 16% each), what motivated Iowa Reynolds to endorse DeSantis over Trump? Why would she do such a thing?

If you ask for a stay and receive it, I don't know how it can be anything other than a win. In the Katyal post you cited, he said, "It's not Trump getting actual relief." In fact, Trump got actual relief. He is free from the restrictions of the gag order while the stay is in effect. Win for Trump.

I say it is a victory for Trump. When Trump makes a motion for a stay, and the court grants that stay, it's a victory. In case you need the difference between a win and a loss further spelled out, if Trump makes a motion for a stay and the court denies the motion, that's a loss. If you ask the...

Not for Trump

Not for Trump. He has been for years one of the most toxic and disrespectful human beings on Twitter, and later, Truth Social. Volumes have been written about Trump's one-way view of loyalty.

It the convicted felon is Donald Trump, yes they will nominate him. No question. Some of those delegates would nominate Trump even if he was dead, and even if he shot someone on 5th Ave.
