overturn any convictions made against him as these various procedures take place?

Isn't that a reason for concern for those of us on the left
who loathe him and consider him a felon?
 
This is a subject people have been steadfastly avoiding on a number of different threads, now.
 
Am I the only one concerned about this?

Apparently so, but I don't understand why?

Maybe it's because many expect it but dread thinking about it.

SCOTUS is one of the biggest reasons why elections matter.

"Right or wrong" doesn't determine what is "OK" in the United States.

"Us or them" decides what's OK, depending on which is holding the power.

I'm not sure how anybody can live here long enough to reach adulthood and still not recognize this obvious fact.

Untrue. Until very recently, like when Nixon was told by republicans to resign there was a national consensus that criminals should not be president.

I didnt write that. It's a copy and paste from another poster.
 
There is no sure thing. Trump is a terrible person who committed crimes. The Supremes have to pretend they care about justice. They cannot give a bad criminal like Trump a pass. They would have to refuse to hear the case.

If only you could prove he committed crimes. He may be a terrible person. It's too bad for you idiots that's not criminal.

So there are no absolutes, no right or wrong, no law?

Basically, you’ve defined the right’s view of America, if is our way or the Highway, Trump is incapable of violating any law since law is defined by the individual, meaning in today’s world, Trump

Good point!

Trump will probably be convicted of enough stuff that he will spend the rest of his life in jail.

But yes, Trump will appeal every conviction, and ride them all the way to the Supreme Court.

But, he will go to jail, and have to appeal from jail! And he could also run out of lawyers to work with or be able to afford!

Even before considering SCOTUS, I was concerned that there might be just one trumpanzee on every jury to create mistrials with hung verdicts.
Now, it seems, there may be too many juries in which he's have to get lucky. Also, not many Trumpers in downtown DC. It's not Florida.

I honestly believe that any mistrial will be immediately retried.

A mistrial does not determine guilt or innocence!

So they have to be retried until a verdict is read and they all agree!

I have faith in our system.

That may sound a bit optimistic or pollyannish- given all the Trump Factors- But I'll take one for the team, and keep my faith in it.

I believe that the good will always win in the end! The good does not win every battle, but it takes a lot of battles to win a WAR!

A WAR we didn't ask for, but now that a Sleeping Giant has been awoken, the Giant will go out and win the war!

THE PEOPLE WILL WIN THIS ONE!

Not all mistrials are retried.

I'm not an optimist by nature [you may have noticed].
That's one reason why my prescription expenses are what they are.
 
Trump has done severe damage to the Supremes. Roberts does not want to have his blowing Trump go down in history books. He has to show a scintilla of self-respect sometime.
