After a flurry of activity surrounding the impending sentencing of President-elect Donald Trump, the U.S. Supreme Court has now weighed in and has declined to stay the proceedings.
It’s been rather lively in the legal realm as President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration approaches, and those who’ve relentlessly hounded him with lawfare attempt to wring every last bit of juice they can out of their efforts before he takes the office they’ve fought so hard to keep him from.
On the criminal front, while (former) Special Counsel Jack Smith angles to release his Final Report on the two prosecutions he levied at Trump, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is barreling ahead with the effort to see Trump sentenced and, thus, formally and inarguably a “convicted felon” when he returns to the White House. And Judge Juan Merchan appears happy to oblige.
