If tfg were to be charged with crimes could the SC overturn the conviction(s)?

1. No but I think Colonel Sanders could give him a pardon.

[Tetrachloride]

2. He can be in court forever.

Go after Trump and the Thomases. Dozens of spotlights. Expose their daily life, their friends, their dark money people.

[scarletlib]

3. Certainly not if you are an ordinary person.

That privilege is only for the elite.

[Irish_Dem]

4. The SC can do whatever the hell it wants to do. Who is going to stop them?

[dalton99a]

8. +1. They can order anything without a reason

In the near future they won't even bother to write an opinion - because they know their opinion is laughable bullshit

[Irish_Dem]

9. Or the reason is ludicrous nonsense from the 17th century.

Because who can challenge them?
No one.

Oh I think they will keep cranking out nonsense with impunity.

[Takket]

13. Yup

People don’t seem to realize that SCOTUS interprets the constitution. So you can say “well X can never happen because the constitution says Y”.

The constitution says whatever SCOTUS says it says. If they say nothing in the constitution entitled you to a TV and they should all be destroyed, then all the TVs get destroyed.

14. +1. A principle not in the Constitution but CREATED in Marbury v. Madison

[634-5789]

5. That orange POS will be tied up in court for DECADES after his demise.

[relayerbob]

6. Of course, why else would he have installed them

[Progressive dog]

7. Probably not.

The executive has ignored SCOTUS in the past. Trump is more likely to get a pardon from the next Republican President.

[Retrograde]

10. Who knows?

They've thrown out precedent, reason, law, and logic in the past two weeks so they could do anything.

[brooklynite]

11. The Supreme Court cannot arbitrarily overturn a convictIOn

The appeals process for a criminal conviction isn’t a dispute of the evidence, it’s a review of the process of the trial and the Judge’s rulings.

And for those who are going to argue that the Court can do whatever it wants today, consider that they were unwilling to uphold any of Trump’s election lawsuits.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

15. Exactly n/t

[gab13by13]

12. It all depends if domestic oligarchs

still find Trump useful. 6 members of the SC are beholden to domestic oligarchs.
