Can any of the lawyers on here legitimately defend this type of action?  It sure looks like she is just protecting the guy that made her a judge no matter what crimes he may have committed.  

Yeah, I mean, she's either in the tank for him or isn't competent enough to manage all of these pretrial motions involving voluminous documents before a trial date this month.  Either idea is plausible, I suppose, or both.  That's not to be construed as a defense on my part.

I get it. Hindsight is 20/20. If she had only lived a few months longer than it wouldn’t be an issue and you wouldn’t be indirectly calling me a moron. If you want to put term limits on Supreme Court justices, I’m willing to listen to your argument. Yes, in retrospect, it would’ve been nice if Obama could’ve appointed her replacement rather than Trump. It would also be really nice if McConnell wasn’t a massive piece of shit who stole two SCOTUS seats for blatantly partisan and unconstitutional reasons. Let’s not lose sight of who the real villains are here. 

Except that McConnell didn't really do anything that is unconstitutional. It had just been previously understood by both parties that a sitting POTUS would not put forth any replacement SCOTUS candidates within a certain # of months of an upcoming Presidential Election. But, hey, look the GQP took their shot and have probably forever altered how this will be done in the future. It was the perfect time for them to do it because it gave the GQP control of the Court to roll back Roe and do their other fuckery.

How is it that she’s now talking freely about something that she, ostensibly, willingly signed and took consideration for agreeing to not talk about.

I’m sure this has all been covered before but I just can’t remember how it all squares.

Ding ding ding.  Her incompetence is what gave her the idea for a path to satisfy her bias.  "I'm too stupid to figure out any of these pre-trial issues.  WAIT...that will be a PERFECT excuse to do what I want to do....delay this trial forever!  My stupidity is brilliance!"

He has not testified and may not testify.  If his denial come into evidence in some other way, that's another story.  I still think there's an argument that it's relevant, but for the reasons mentioned above, it's in, it likely isn't harmful, and so it's a moot point.

Pretty sure it came into evidence already through other means.

I’m sure this has all been covered before but I just can’t remember how it all squares.

I've always wondered what the remedy would be for violation of an NDA related to hush money. If a politician pays a women $1,000,000 to sign an NDA and not disclose her allegations of rape against said politician, she takes the money, and goes ahead and speaks about it publicly, does the politician then sue to recover the $1,000,000 plus additional damages? Does that go to a jury?

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the bitch took money and signed a contract to not disclose publicly that my client raped her, and she should be punished for said disclosure." Would a jury really punish a rape victim? I guess the defense would be that it wasn't really rape but to keep her from even making an accusation, but a trial on the matter is just as damaging if not more than what the NDA was meant to prevent. It also feels like an illegal contract. I'm happy I don't practice in this area.

Nobody needed hindsight to recognize the problem with a decent replacement if she held on too long-  and her age and the type of cancer that she had pretty much takes away the need for hindsight.  People were screaming about it at the time.  Anyone here who has tried to pry an elderly parent out of their home for their own good will cosign that it is almost impossible for them to do it of their own volition.  Same deal with the stakes being much higher.

But please don’t act like the Turtle’s plan was unknowable when he had already publicly stated that his goal was to defeat anything that Obama wanted to achieve.

Trump classified documents trial postponed indefinitely

KEY POINTS

A federal judge indefinitely postponed the criminal classified documents trial of former President Donald Trump, a court filing shows.

Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump gestures while he walks with his attorney Todd Blanche, as his criminal trial over charges that he falsified business records to conceal money paid to silence porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016 continues, at Manhattan state court in New York City, U.S., May 6, 2024.

A federal judge Tuesday indefinitely postponed the criminal classified documents trial of former President Donald Trump, a court filing shows.

The trial on charges that Trump willfully retained classified national security records after leaving the White House and then hid them from federal authorities was scheduled to start May 20.

But U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon wrote in Tuesday’s court order that it “would be imprudent” to finalize a trial date “at this juncture” when various pre-trial issues have yet to be resolved.

Cannon pointed to pending questions about how classified information will be handled in the high-profile trial of the former president, and “additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury.”

To move forward with the trial in May would be “inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider” those issues, she wrote.

“The Court therefore vacates the current May 20, 2024, trial date (and associated calendar call), to be reset by separate order following resolution of the matters before the Court, consistent with Defendants’ right to due process and the public’s interest in the fair and efficient administration of justice,” Cannon ruled.
