If the legal profession can disbar their fellow lawyers when they clearly do illegal things, why can’t politicians also prevent their lawbreakers from continuing to work in their professions?! This same standard should definitely apply to Trump (and many other politicians although none quite as egregious in their illegal activities as our former president). It is even spelled out in the 14th amendment to our constitution, if only SCOTUS would use common sense in interpreting the law. “Rudy Giuliani, who once served as New York City’s mayor and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, has been disbarred “effective immediately” for his efforts to subvert the 2020 presidential election, a state appeals court ruled Tuesday. A panel of judges in New York’s Appellate Division, First Department wrote that Giuliani “flagrantly misused” his position as an attorney for former President Trump and his campaign to make “intentionally” false statements to courts, lawmakers and the public. “In so doing, respondent not only deliberately violated some of the most fundamental tenets of the legal profession, but he also actively contributed to the national strife that has followed the 2020 Presidential election, for which he is entirely unrepentant,” it says.” #nooneisabovethelaw #justice #accountabilty #stoptheinsanity #voteoutMAGARepublicans #ethics #commonsense #leadership #integrity

Finally, we are hearing about how Authoritarian Leaders look upon democracy and free-speech. Apparently, the Trump campaign and the Republican Party feel that lies, disinformation, fraud, slander, libel, false-claims, & false-advertising are all protected free-speech. PLEASE NOTE: Donald J. Trump is not defending/proving his 'Stop-the-Steal' lies. He is arguing that he has the right to lie to me, to you, to your Children/Grandchildren, and to his fellow Americans about Election Fraud & Stop-the-Steal, and that he cannot be held accountable for lying to us. I wonder how January 06 Insurgents who are doing jail time feel, knowing that Trump has mislead them about 2020 Election Fraud and Stop-the-Steal, while letting them take-the-fall in jail because they believed Donald J. Trump's lies??? — We have laws which PROHIBIT fraud, slander, libel, false-claims, and false-advertising too. Con-Men usually end up in jail. ... Ask Fox News Channel about their $787 MILLION settlement with Dominion, when Dominion challenged FNC reports of 2020 Presidential Election Fraud ... Bernie Madoff died in prison after lying to investors & defrauding them out of $18 Billion. ... The leaders of the Genesis II Church are behind bars because they sold 'Miracle Mineral Solution' (containing Bleach) to their congregation, lying to them as they claimed efficacy in treating COVID-19, Alzheimers, Autism, AIDS/HIV, etc. -- Then again, there is always God's Commandment: Thou Shall Not Bear False Witness ** SO, what's it going to be? Are Con-Men free to lie, to mislead, to injure our fellow Citizens, & to harm our great Nation? Who needs rule-of-law, when you have caveat emptor?

Not political at all just stating facts here: First, our Constitution, Fourteenth Amendment is very clear that: “anyone who ‘engaged in insurrection or rebellion’ after taking an oath of office to support the Constitution is forbidden from holding any public office.” Trump absolutely planned, organized, funded, incited and then defended those domestic terrorists who attacked our democracy and Capitol. I don’t understand how his followers can stand by the Second Amendment and ignore the Fourteenth. It’s an all or nothing thing. Second, our Supreme Court, has but one job, their ONLY job is to rule by protecting and upholding our constitution. This should be clear and straightforward.

In a groundbreaking decision, the Colorado Supreme Court has barred Donald Trump from running in the state's presidential primary, citing his involvement in the January 6, 2021, insurrection. The 4-to-3 ruling marks the first instance of a court preventing a presidential candidate from appearing on the ballot under a constitutional provision from 1868 that prohibits insurrectionists from holding office. The decision, likely to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, could have far-reaching implications for Trump's nomination and election prospects. Legal scholars suggest that only the highest court can definitively determine if the events of January 6 constitute an insurrection and if Trump is ineligible to run. If upheld, the ruling may influence other states facing similar cases, adding pressure on the U.S. Supreme Court to provide a comprehensive resolution. #DonaldTrump #ColoradoSupremeCourt #Election2024 #Insurrection #LegalDecision #USSupremeCourt #TheSocialTalks

#Explained #SCOTUS Dissent on Absolute Immunity for former US President Donald Trump from criminal prosecution For the first time in US history, a former President, in this case Donald Trump, had been indicted by a federal grand jury for conduct that occurred during his Presidency following November 2020 Presidential Elections. The indictment alleged that after losing that election, Trump conspired to overturn it by spreading knowingly false claims of election fraud. #Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS): #In a monumental decision where for the first time in American history, the SCOTUS had to consider a former US President’s (Donald Trump) immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts during his Presidency; the Full Bench of the Court with a ratio of 6: 3 held that, under US constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to Absolute Immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. #And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts....

If I understand correctly, back in May 2023, the Georgia State Senate voted themselves a new power to remove state prosecutors (district attorneys and solicitors general) that had been legally elected to their position by Georgia voters, and now they have started discussing using this ability to remove Georgia district attorney Fani Willis as a way of preventing her from prosecuting Trump. So, does this violate the Georgia constitution in some way? I thought the Georgia Constitution specifically states that the Judiciary and the legislative branches shall be separate and distinct so doesn't this mean that the legislature cannot interfere with the judicial process, and the judiciary cannot interfere with the legislative process? In any case, wasn't it a Georgia grand jury rather Fani Willis on her own, who decided to proceed with indictments against former President Donald Trump? #georgia #politics #trump #indictment #separationofpowers #grandjury #justice #law #constitution #election #interference #corruption #abuseofpower #checksandbalances #votersuppression #electionsecurity #donaldtrump #faniwillis #georgiastatesenate

I have learned to not be surprised by how MAGA Republicans have turned the GOP into an extreme cult without an ounce of integrity or ethics. They appear to be heading the way of the Whigs! “Christina Bobb is the lawyer overseeing the RNC's "election integrity" efforts. She was also just indicted by a grand jury for election-related crimes. A total of 18 Republicans were indicted in Arizona yesterday as part of the party’s fake elector scandal from 2020, including 11 people who served as fake electors themselves. But it’s worth pausing to take a closer look at the other seven, each of whom worked with Donald Trump. [Mark] Meadows, Trump’s former White House chief of staff; [Rudy] Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and Trump attorney; [Boris] Epshteyn, a Trump campaign official and attorney; former Trump campaign and White House official Mike Roman; former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis; former Trump attorney Christina Bobb; and John Eastman, another attorney and Trump legal adviser in the aftermath of the 2020 election. The Republican lawyer’s name might not be immediately familiar to national audiences, but Bobb made headlines last month after Trump took over the Republican National Committee and hired Bobb to serve as senior counsel for election integrity. In other words, a grand jury in Arizona has indicted the RNC’s election integrity chief on election-related crimes. Specifically, the indictment includes charges of conspiracy, fraud and forgery” #justice #voteoutMAGARepublicans #commonsense #leadership #integrity #ethics #accountability #stoptheinsanity

1. What legal repercussions could the Republican operatives face for attempting to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 victory in Wisconsin? 2. How does the law address the issue of individuals posing as fake electors in an election? 3. What legal actions can be taken against the attorneys involved in the civil lawsuit for their role in the strategy to overturn the election results? 4. Could these documents serve as evidence for potential criminal charges against those involved in the strategy to overturn the election? 5. How does the law handle cases of election interference and what penalties could those involved in this case potentially face? #ElectionInterference #Wisconsin2020 #FakeElectors ...
