It’s easy to read too much into this. “Now in the Supreme Court” means exactly nothing.
Yes, the case is on the Supreme Court docket, but that just means that Brunson mailed the right forms to the right address. No one at the court has even looked at the case yet (except the low-level clerk who stamped it with a docket number without reading it) and no one will until it is scheduled for conference.
No, because the tax values are less than either the bogus values that Trump claimed (and there is zero doubt that they were bogus, the question has always been whether there was anything wrong with claiming these values when no one was harmed) or the lower values that New York State asserted. Whether Trump or the state eventually win, the values will end up way higher than the tax values.
So no real estate refund.
Lindell may have evidence, but the idea that he will “present it to the Supreme Court” in on Friday is just plain delusional. That’s not how you get in front of the court, the court isn’t a trial court (the kind that evaluates thevidence), ….
The most we’ll get is a PR event on the steps in front and possibly request for a grant of cert entered into the court docket, which could just as well be done by mail.
Sadly, the money you spent on the stock doesn’t help Donald Trump ot TMTG. TMTG gets $10 for each share, the proceeds from DWAC’s IPO, no matter how often and at what price that share sells after the IPO. Your $10k went into the pockets of whoever sold the stock you bought.
Not how it was killed, Congress has no authority here. SCOTUS killed it.
The problem is that the Constitution is clear that the census must count everyone, not just citizens (which makes sense - a civilized country knows how many non-citizens are inside its borders). Then Ross, who whatever his merits as a SecCommerce had apparently slept through his civics class, tried to use the citizenship question to discourage non-citizens from responding - this put him on the wrong side of the Constitutional duty to count everyone and SCOTUS rightly slapped him down. If we want to change it, the right way would be: a) get an accurate count of non-citizens, which Elon’s tweet above isn’t helping with. b) Work on setting the number of representatives (and hence electoral votes) per state based on number of citizens instead of “persons”. This might require a Constitutional amendment but that’s the same lift as changing the Constitutional definition of the census.
It’s possible to read too much into this. It’s an amicus brief, so doesn’t necessarily carry any weight, is best read as “Hey SCOTUS - it’s your case to decide, but if you are interested in what I think about it….” “Accepted” just means that it’s properly filed and eventually one or more of the clerks will take a look at it.
The headline link is a press release from TrueTheVote.org, and we should generally be a bit skeptical about press releases from parties involved in the case.
If we read the actual ruling….. The court ruled that TrueTheVote’s list of alleged illegal voters was pretty much bogus (“TTV’s list utterly lacked reliability. Indeed, it verges on recklessness” is a direct quote from the ruling) and their “decisive triumph” is that the plaintiffs failed to prove that they were damaged.
This is called winning the battle and losing the war.
The ruling is here: https://www.scribd.com/document/685299158/11-17-2023-Final-Order
The court ruled that:
- There was no election fraud, no stolen election
- The January 6 Committee got it right
- Trump is guilty of insurrection
- The only reason he can stay on the ballot is that as president he swore an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend” the Constitution while section three of the 14th amendment applies only to people who swore an oath to “uphold” the Constitution,
You’re right, more info needed. First hint is that the WEF is mentioned in the article exactly once, in the headline - none of this has anything to with the WEF. It’s an agreement among the OECD countries to stop big multinational companies from evading taxes by shuffling paper profits across international borders.
That Gateway Pundit piece about Trump presenting evidence is talking about the DC federal trial, not Willis’s Georgia trial - different trials for different charges. It’s unlikely that Trump’s team will be presenting evidence about foreign election interference, whether from military intelligence or elsewhere, in the Georgia trial - it would be somewhere between irrelevant and actually harmful to the defense on the Georgia cases.
No Brady violation here. This isn’t a criminal proceeding so the Brady rule doesn’t apply. But even if it did, they wouldn’t have to introduce potentially exculpatory evidence in court, they just have to ensure that the defense has it. Then it’s up to the defense whether to use it or not.
Sorry to say that that there’s nothing here.
This hasn’t gotten anywhere near the Supreme Court yet, Thomas isn’t going to be deciding this case, his name only comes up because he is the supervising justice for the 11th Circuit which will eventually rule on this petition, and ”accepted” just means that the proper forms have been filled out. (And as of a day or so ago it hadn’t even gotten that far because the filing violated the page limit, that’s easily fixed).
We’ve been through this before - it’s the way Twitter’s website card feature works. A tweet that links to a website always is always displayed with the newest card, even if it’s an old tweet. The Obama foundation changed their card to the Floyd image in early June, after his death, so anyone who viewed or screenshotted the May 16 post after that got the Floyd image.
This happens all the time. For example, here’s a tweet from 2015 before he was elected, showing Trump as president next to Marine One: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/613022549824405504
The thread title is silly, McHenry hasn’t replaced McCarthy as speaker.
He is becoming Speaker Pro Tempore who gets to bang the gavel and lead the session while the house works to elect a new speaker but that’s it - he has none of the powers of the speaker. That’s why people are saying that Congress is effectively shut down for now - without a speaker no one is doing the speaker’s job.
A writ of certiorari has not issued. The 3/29/2024 thing in the docket is a petition for a writ of certiorari, something that Brunson wrote and sent to the court asking them to grant cert. Listed on the court website just means that Brunson filled out the right forms and sent them to the right address. The lower court hasn’t been ordered to do anything.
