I would bring him into court. Tell him that I'm granting his request for a trial in 2026. Then I'd tell him that since he violated his pre-trial release conditions that he will be held in custody until his trial resolves.

Have a good day.

The Trump indictments reveal a paradox at the heart of American democracy

The Trump cases help us understand how America’s democracy can be both strong and weak at the same time.
www.vox.com www.vox.com

“The Trump prosecutions are thus revealing a paradox at the heart of American democracy: its institutions are at once both strong and weak.

They are strong, in the sense that many act the way they should in an advanced democracy — taking legal steps to defend the system against the novel Trumpian threat. They are weak, in the sense that they lack the universal public legitimacy to fully quash the threat through these legal means — a reflection of the fundamental social divisions that gave rise to Trump in the first place.

This paradox could shape not only the political consequences of the four Trump trials, but the long-term prospects for the survival of the world’s oldest democracy”.

Texas woman arrested and charged with threatening federal judge overseeing Trump’s election case

Security has been bolstered around U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan after she was randomly selected to oversee the case.

“Hey you stupid slave,” Shry said before she referred to Chutkan using the N-word, the affidavit alleges. “You are in our sights, we want to kill you. … If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly, b----.”

“You will be targeted personally, publicly, your family, all of it,” she is alleged to have said.
 
One of Trump's little SS foot soldiers could get a nice long vacation from freedom.


The Justice Department is seeking 33 years in prison for Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader convicted of seditious conspiracy in one of the most serious cases to emerge from attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to court documents.

Prosecutors are also asking for a 33-year-sentence for one of Tarrio's co-defendants, Joseph Biggs of Ormond Beach, Florida, a self-described Proud Boys organizer.

They are asking the judge to impose a 30-year prison term for Zachary Rehl, who was president of the Proud Boys chapter in Philadelphia; 27 years in prison for Ethan Nordean of Auburn, Washington, who was a Proud Boys chapter president; and 20 years for Dominic Pezzola, a Proud Boys member from Rochester, New York. Pezzola was acquitted of seditious conspiracy but convicted of other serious charges.

Tarrio wasn’t in Washington on Jan. 6, because he had been arrested two days earlier in a separate case and ordered out of the capital city. But prosecutors alleged he organized and directed the attack by Proud Boys who stormed the Capitol that day.
 
If anything of substance comes from these crimes, as in if Trump is actually held accountable like a normal person would be, that would do a lot to restore some level of legitimacy to our legal system and help put down the idea of a two-tiered legal, system. Giving him his day in court, of course, to defend himself against the allegations, assuming innocence until proven guilty. There are just so many areas where this can be massaged by the big money to gain him an unfair advantage and rob justice of a fair outcome. We'll see how serious our legal system is or we will see just how far into oligarchy and plutocracy we have fallen.

But the thing is that once you believe that everything you see and hear outside the cult is an illusion then everything you do, as the main character in your own story, is justified.

Since I belong to my own cult, population: 1 - me, then everything I do is justified. Heh.

The Constitution Prohibits Trump From Ever Being President Again

The only question is whether American citizens today can uphold that commitment.

The Sweep and Force of Section Three

Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment forbids holding office by former office holders who then participate in insurrection or rebellion. Because of a range
papers.ssrn.com

Abstract​

Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment forbids holding office by former office holders who then participate in insurrection or rebellion. Because of a range of misperceptions and mistaken assumptions, Section Three’s full legal consequences have not been appreciated or enforced. This article corrects those mistakes by setting forth the full sweep and force of Section Three.

First, Section Three remains an enforceable part of the Constitution, not limited to the Civil War, and not effectively repealed by nineteenth century amnesty legislation. Second, Section Three is self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office, without the need for additional action by Congress. It can and should be enforced by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications. Third, to the extent of any conflict with prior constitutional rules, Section Three repeals, supersedes, or simply satisfies them. This includes the rules against bills of attainder or ex post facto laws, the Due Process Clause, and even the free speech principles of the First Amendment. Fourth, Section Three covers a broad range of conduct against the authority of the constitutional order, including many instances of indirect participation or support as “aid or comfort.” It covers a broad range of former offices, including the Presidency. And in particular, it disqualifies former President Donald Trump, and potentially many others, because of their participation in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 presidential election.

Ya but if we used that on trump then what if in the future a different president encourages, doesn't try to stop, champions, incites, masterminds, and participates in an insurrection? Then we would have to use it on them too. Slippery slope man.
