This MN 14th Amendment Ruling Makes Sense The Minnesota Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit that seeks to bar Trump from the presidential ballot on 14th Amendment grounds. They said a party primary is an internal party matter and there is no law that prevents a party from placing a candidate on...

Nov. 7, 2023 General Elections; Bad Day for MAGA In addition to the huge setbacks Republicans suffered in yesterday's state elections (Ohio's Issue 1, Kentucky governor race, Virginia state House of Delegates), reports are coming in about numerous, widespread and thorough defeats of MAGA school...

Probably not. Biden's popularity is in the tank and voters are feeling the sting of inflation, especially in the grocery stores. And yet, voters handed the Democrats strong victories last night, where abortion was on the ballot or where candidates who supported reproductive rights were on the...

This is indeed a good development. MAGA always celebrates when a Republican is crushed who does not fully embrace MAGA. Keep up the good work. MAGA is a self-destructive in the Republican Party, doing more damage to the party than the Democrats could ever hope to do. The Republicans lost...

The Ohio Columbus Dispatch: "We aren't as red as Republicans Think "How Republican lawmakers tried to stop the people "Republicans want all and got nothing "Three strikes with a fourth [redistricting power] on the way" (Source)

Virginia Voters Reject Youngkin's Abortion Proposal Virginia's Republican Gov. Youngkin ran ads earlier this year about his proposed abortion rules. He sought to use the abortion issue to to retain Republican control of the VA House and flip the Senate to Republican control. "The only issue...

This Ohio abortion-rights election was held on November 7, 2023; also known as Election Day. People were definitely paying attention, and they soundly defeated the Republican attempt to force an extreme anti-abortion position on them. Now that this has happened, do you think the anti-abortion...

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...

For Trump in court last week: One win, six losses.
