Trump loses again in court
The former President is the biggest loser in judicial forums in history
Last Thursday, the United States Supreme Court unanimously denied Donald Trump’s desperate petition to review a court of appeals decision sharply rebuking the Trump-appointed trial judge in the Mar-a-Lago Espionage Act-Obstruction of Justice prosecution for appointing a special master to vet classified documents—a delaying tactic in hopes of postponing inevitable guilty verdicts until after the 2024 presidential election.
Today, Trump appeared at his civil fraud trial in New York in which he could lose his businesses and be further revealed as having told staggering lies about his wealth. In contrast, Trump boycotted the Jean Carroll sexual predication lawsuit in which a $5 million judgment was entered against him. His courtroom presence today suggests Trump is frightened.
Trump lives under the delusion that law is like the Hunting of the Snark and what is said three times or more is conclusive proof of truth. That explains Mr. Trump’s unbroken string of more than 100 judicial losses since presidential balloting in November 2020. Mr. Trump thinks shouting and bellowing witch hunt, racist, evil, and threatening violence to prosecutors, witnesses, and judges is a get out of jail free card. Nothing that Trump has said since his electoral loss is admissible exculpatory evidence, and much is incriminating, like demanding Vice President Mike Pence choose between Trump and the Constitution, between the rule of men and the rule of law.
Trump hopes to regress the United States to the days before the American Declaration of Independence when American colonists were in vassalage to King George III. The proof is from Trump himself in boastfully proclaiming on July 23, 2019, “Then I have Article 2, where I have the right to do anything I want as president.”
To support Trump is to defect from the American Revolution and the Constitution.
