Under the law, even the latest SCOTUS case, Trump's actions at issue in the state court proceedings were clearly not "official acts," and so he's not immune. Nonetheless, my professional opinion is, "idk what will happen, good odds SCOTUS leaps in to save him yet again."

SCOTUS has more plausible federal-law grounds to save him based on the federal election-law issue baked into the felony enhancement

Yeah. I think to any ordinary person (including us lawyers) directing your personal lawyer to cut a check and reimbursing him from your personal accounts are clearly not official acts in any logical sense, but his lawyers are definitely going to try to delay things to argue just that thing.

Gotta love that it's a tech reporter just deciding that the lawyers are in no position to explain to him the difference between state and federal court.

After the debacle that led to Wade's resignation in the Trump case and the shenanigans with the judge in the YSL case, I have no faith in Willis' ability to bring the Trump case to completion and am now skeptical it'll even get to the point where SCOTUS has anything to pick up.

Probably. At a certain point the NY courts just need to say “no” to a scotus ruling that’s obviously corrupted.

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread. SCOTUS: We should fix that. The rich should absolutely be allowed to steal their bread.

HIs attorneys are arguing that the NY case is tainted with evidence now deemed inadmissible, such as his habits and attention to detail in the WH.
