The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday denied President-elect Donald J. Trump’s emergency bid to halt his criminal sentencing in New York. His sentencing will proceed as planned on Friday.
After a series of unsuccessful legal maneuvers in New York State courts, the former and future president had hoped to prevail before a friendlier audience: a Supreme Court with a 6-to-3 conservative majority that includes three justices Mr. Trump appointed during his first term.
But the court opted to stay out of the case for now.
They could have delayed it, especially given how sketchy this Manhattan case is.
Justices Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Thomas would have granted the application.
Barrett’s a Disaster
Roberts and Coney Barrett are serious disappointments. If they were in Trump’s position, they would be screaming for a delay since Merchan does not have jurisdiction. Barrett just got off her deplorable no-free-speech Dobb’s decision and her ruling against the Christian florist who felt she couldn’t serve a homosexual wedding, and she keeps going in that vein.
Trump needs to put the federalist Society on the back burner if he gets to choose another Justice. Leonard Leo needs to be put out to pasture. We are stuck with Barrett for decades. There were signs she would become biased and not stick with the Constitution. Astute conservatives knew.
If this keeps up, conservatives will want term limits for Justices also.
