Thank GOD, SOMETHING: Supreme Court REJECTS Trump's Desperate Attempt to stop his NY sentencing

1. I wish my reaction could be something besides "Oh THANK GOD. Finally, SOMETHING." 2. To your point about the country sinking so low, that is not all #DonTheCon but God has he done a lot to undermine the rule of law. If finally being able to say a hard NO to #DonTHeCon 's lifelong career of tax and business fraud, at least it is a TINY exhortation to his admirers: DON'T DO THAT. 3. I love the idea of the prosecution asking for say 10 years of unsupervised probation and a substantial fine in the interest of deterring others from his behavior. The prosecution can ask and the judge can do what he is going to do. Would the unsupervised probation be any kind of impediment to more "not official acts" criming? I don't know but send a message. As for the requesting a fine, Judge Merchan just stopped imposing fines for contempt, and one point of asking for a fine would be to underscore the contempt issue. 4. #FelonDon is fond of saying he thinks he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose any votes. I don't buy that. He did not even crack 50% of the popular vote. In other words more than 50% o voters wanted someone else to be president and we won't even discuss the 30% of eligible voters who did not vote at all. #DonTheCon likes to claim a mandate, a point I am happy to vigorously dispute but not here. In any case, I think it's important to say yes a candidate's conduct matters! 5. I am not a lawyer but I can imagine 4 women being willing to draw lines about President Elect Gropesaurus lifelong issues with deplorable treatment of women and unabashed sex predator behavior that justices (Thomas and Kavanagh) who themselves have been accused of sexual harassment or assault might not be willing to draw. In any case, the ruling is a SMALL glimmer of hope that we do not tolerate in presidents behavior we don't tolerate for others.
