Can The Supreme Court Intervene After Trump’s Conviction? Legal Experts Say Yes.

The guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump reached by a Manhattan jury on Thursday could ultimately be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, legal experts said.

Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in an unprecedented verdict against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee just months before the 2024 election. The verdict is likely to be appealed by Trump’s legal team, however, and experts say the final decision in Trump’s hush-money trial could come down to a ruling from the highest court in the land.

Attorney Roger Severino, who is the vice president of Domestic Policy and the Joseph C. and Elizabeth A. Anderlik fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told “Morning Wire” on Friday that Trump’s legal team could make “constitutional arguments that his right to a fair trial was violated.”

“And the Constitution means something,” Severino added. “It means, if anything, you cannot jail political opponents because you don’t like what the American people are going to vote for.”

Severino said that he believes the Supreme Court will intervene in the case if Trump doesn’t win on appeal.

“Ultimately, I think the Supreme Court, if he doesn’t win on appeal, will take this up and reverse,” the attorney said. “This is a political prosecution. We are better than this as a country and this cannot stand.”

The Heritage Foundation fellow added that whether Trump ends up behind bars is still unknown, saying “it would be shameful if this judge were to order this man to go to jail when they weren’t able to point to any victims.”

“This is so shocking and unprecedented that we’re even discussing the possibility of putting political opponents in jail in the middle of an election,” he said.

Challenge should have been made before
all this “lawfare” even started based on
Courts of Compitent Jurisdiction:
“”The law is trite, that a Court is competent when it is properly constituted regarding the quorum and qualification of the members thereof.”
But then again, this “same hands group” of “lawyers” have an
incestous special interest control holding office not just 100% of
the judiciary, but also holding offices in the legislative and executive
branches.

SCOTUS had the opportunity to look into the stolen 2020 election too. What did they do? What all pussies do when the time comes to stand up and do their jobs. These fuckers went through the confirmation process, told us all how great judges they are, how tough they are, how they’d rule on this issue and that issue. They coveted those appointments to the bench. They wanted the prestige, the respect, the country club membership, the big fuckin houses in the toney neighborhoods, the expensive cars, etc. They wanted all of it. But when it came time to stand up, to really do what they were put on the court to do, you know, to make that one decision that they cannot look away from, that one decision that everyone of them knew was THE real reason why we have a Supreme Court… what did they do? They fuckin fold like the pussies they are. Fuck them.
