The Supreme Court hand-delivered Donald Trump a big win on Wednesday. Legal expert Jeffrey Toobin, who is by no means a Republican, agreed the Supreme Court's decision to hear the former president's argument that presidential immunity protects him from criminal prosecution is a "gift" — whether or not the court ultimately agrees with him. It's a "gift," Toobin explained because the timeline almost certainly means there will not be a trial before Election Day. https://www.theblaze.com/news/supreme-court-gift-donald-trump Political commentator James Carville said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Israel–Hamas war was hurting President Joe Biden with voters. Carville said, “The stuff in Gaza is a problem and it’s a pretty big problem that a lot of people and particularly a lot of Democrats that are uncomfortable and it turned them out to the point that they would, not vote for President Biden.” He continued, “But I’ll tell you, Ari, if they don’t get to stuff somehow another de-escalator and between now and the convention in Chicago, you don’t want to imagine what’s going to happen there. All of those cameras are going to draw people. I remember the ’68 convention and it was something horrific.” Carville added, “I’m saying if the stuff has not de-escalated in Gaza by the time of the Democratic convention there will be protests and very emotional and active protests. ...there’s real angst in the country and it’s not just snot-nosed kids on campus, there’s angst about the way that this war is being executed. It’s hurting President Biden, and he knows that. Amir Tsarfati: The Decline of an Empire: Some criminal defendants charged in connection with the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, had their sentences improperly increased, a federal appeals court in Washington, DC, has ruled. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled Friday defendant Larry Rendall Brock’s sentence improperly included charges of “interference with the administration of justice,” AP reports. A new sentence has now been ordered for the retired Air Force officer who appeared in the U.S. Capitol dressed in combat gear, in a ruling that could impact dozens of other cases stemming from the tumultuous events that day. According to Circuit Judge Millett, who wrote the court’s opinion, interference with Congress’ certification of the electoral votes in the 2020 presidential election does not apply to a sentence enhancement. The AP report sets out the enhancement — on the grounds that Brock’s conduct resulted in “substantial interference with the administration of justice” — has been applied in more than 100 other Jan. 6 defendants’ cases, said Patricia Hartman, a spokesperson for the Washington’s U.S. attorney’s office. Other January 6 defendants received longer sentences because of the same charge, which could throw their respective sentences into question. The US Supreme Court on Monday unanimously ruled Trump can stay on the Colorado primary 2024 ballot. The Supreme Court said the states lack the power to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution against Presidential candidates. “For the reasons given, responsibility for enforcing Section against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States. The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand,” the high court’s ruling said. The Supreme Court on Monday tossed out a Colorado court ruling that barred Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s Republican presidential primary ballot because of a provision in the U.S. Constitution related to people who engage in insurrection. The unanimous decision in Trump’s favor by the Supreme Court — which means votes he garners on Tuesday’s ballot will count for the former president — was not a surprise. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/03/breaking-supreme-court-puts-trump-back-colorado-ballot/
