Donald Trump on Sunday beseeched the Supreme Court to intervene in his upcoming sentencing for 34 criminal convictions related to business records fraud in New York, according to a report.
Over the weekend, Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to hurl a tirade against the July sentencing, which could result in jail time for the former president.
“The ‘Sentencing’ for not having done anything wrong will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention,” Trump railed, alleging that the entire judicial system was a vast conspiracy designed to ruin him.
“A Radical Left Soros-backed D.A., who ran on a platform of ‘I will get Trump,’ reporting to an ‘Acting’ Local Judge, appointed by the Democrats, who is HIGHLY CONFLICTED, will make a decision which will determine the future of our Nation?” he questioned. “The United States Supreme Court MUST DECIDE!”
Trump’s post set off a cascade of ridicule, with some social media users educating the former president that the Supreme Court doesn’t wield the power to overrule his Hush Money trial
They have no jurisdiction. And, "federalism". Also, they couldn't take it on Merchan/recusal grounds because that would shine a light right back onto Thomas and Alito.
Finally, the appeals process itself: https://t.co/sbSeFBXM0M
