GIULIANI did not appear at a "show cause" hearing to challenge his subpoena earlier this month, so the justice entered an order against him, requiring him to appear for testimony in the Fulton County case. https://politico.com/f/?id=00000182-1c14-d60a-a1fe-5cbca4e10000…

1. ...K&R...

[gratuitous]

2. Giuliani used to be a federal prosecutor

I don't think the Bannon Defense ("Oh, I thought those subpoena deadlines were negotiable, so I told the issuer to go fly a kite&quot is going to help here.

3. Help me out here....

How and why did the NY Supreme Court become involved with this case?

4. That surprised me too, but I'm not a law student or professional

I'm not sure why I had done a double take on the court issuing that order, guess I'm generally used to seeing court orders from a court in the district in question.

12. I haven't read anything

I'm just going off of the headline. Rudy Giuliani doesn't live or work (or anything) in Georgia. However, once they have obtained the court order in Georgia, they can ask a NY court (where Rudy Giuliani lives) to enforce it.

13. That makes sense... come to think of it thanks! nlt

6. Odd Local Nonclemature, Sir

What New York calls 'supreme court' is a district court elsewhere. The highest New York tribunal does business as the Court of Appeals.

8. Not necessarily a 'district court', but a trial court

All trial courts aren't district courts. In my state, the lowest level court -the trial court- is the circuit court, and the appeals court is the district court.

9. Here's what I'm guessing (because I haven't read anything)

The prosecutor's office in Georgia may have obtained an order for Rudy Giuliani to appear. The problem is that Rudy Giuliani doesn't live in Georgia, he lives in NY. Therefore, the Georgia prosecutor takes their 'order to appear' to a New York court where Rudy Giuliani lives and asks a judge to order Rudy to comply.

7. Enjoy your time in prison Rudy.

10. Didn't Giuliani go to law school?

I mean, he keeps making such foolish and elementary mistakes that one wonders if he has two functioning brain cells in his skull.

He has insulted judges, prosecutors and many others in his fool’s errand. He has ignored court orders. He has made a fool of himself and admitted that he doesn’t have evidence of voter fraud.

Has he lost his mind? Seriously.
