Summary

Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to block his sentencing in New York’s hush money case, scheduled for Friday.

Trump’s legal team argues presidential immunity, citing a recent Supreme Court ruling shielding certain official acts from prosecution, though it excludes personal actions.

Trump was convicted in May on 34 felony counts for falsifying records tied to hush money payments during the 2016 election.

A New York judge ruled that immunity does not apply until Trump is sworn in.

Prosecutors must respond by Thursday morning.

      Why would that matter?

      Trump has 34 felony convictions. He is a convicted felon. Which countries are going to deny him entry?

        Why would it matter?

        Because only an American would believe that Trump has the God-like power you’ve bestowed upon him.

        It’s sad and pathetic, but explains the SCOTUS prostration.
