Denied by NY Appellate Court, Trump Files Emergency Appeal to SCOTUS to Stop Merchan's Political Rush to Judgment

It won't work, but he has to file it:

Donald Trump's legal team has filed an emergency petition with the U.S. Supreme Court, challenging what it calls an "unjust" decision in a Manhattan criminal case. They argue that the case represents a "political weaponization" of the justice system.

Key Details:

Trump's legal team filed the emergency petition, targeting the Manhattan District Attorney's office over what they call "unlawful sentencing."
The filing references the Supreme Court's previous decisions on immunity, constitutional protections, and established precedent to demand the case's dismissal.
Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesperson, stated the petition reflects the will of voters who elected Trump, denouncing ongoing investigations as "witch hunts."

Diving Deeper:

Former President Donald Trump's legal team filed an emergency petition with the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday, seeking to overturn recent decisions from New York courts related to a Manhattan District Attorney's case against him. The filing accuses New York prosecutors of pursuing a politically motivated agenda, characterizing the case as part of an ongoing "witch hunt" targeting Trump.

"The Supreme Court's historic decision on immunity, the Constitution, and established legal precedent mandate that this meritless hoax be immediately dismissed," said Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump, in a statement.

The petition asks the Supreme Court to intervene and stop what it describes as "unlawful sentencing" against the former president. Trump's team argues the legal actions violate constitutional protections and represent the weaponization of the justice system against political opponents.

Cheung's statement emphasized the broader political implications of the case, asserting that it undermines the trust of voters who elected Trump. "The American People elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate that demands an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system," Cheung added.

Trump will get no relief because the Supreme Court and all other judges continue pushing the completely-fictitious and disproven idea that juries are free from political bias. They are too cowardly to confront the world as it actually is, and rule that in politically-charged cases, the defendant must be tried in a jurisdiction with a balanced political population. They continue to push the lie on us that leftwing Trump-deranged and anti-conservative juries will "put their politics aside" and rule on the facts.

We will continue to be treated a second-class citizens until the cowards of the court confront this real and dangerous hyperpartisan bias.
