    I’m really surprised 4 New York justices voted against.

    Should we be surprised that trump called Justice Alito yesterday? Of course it concerned other matters :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: (can you hear me rolling my eyes?)
    Reminiscent of a tarmac chat between Bill and the AG iirc.

    Trump speaks with Justice Alito amid push to halt criminal sentencing

    William Levi, one of my former law clerks, asked me to take a call from President-elect Trump regarding his qualifications to serve in a government position," Justice Alito confirmed to ABC News Wednesday. "I agreed to discuss this matter with President-elect Trump, and he called me yesterday afternoon."

    Trump supporters who sported this T-shirt should be pleased since he's finally a convicted felon.

    Although I was under the impression that he became a felon when the jury rendered its verdict apparently he's not technically a felon until he's sentenced.

    Well since you’re into technicalities. He’s still not a convicted felon. Sentencing isn’t until tomorrow morning ;)

    My reading of NY law is that he was convicted when the jury rendered its verdict.:

    NY Criminal Procedure Law 1.20(13)-(15), a definitional statute.:

    13. “Conviction” means the entry of a plea of guilty to, or a verdict of guilty upon, an accusatory instrument other than a felony complaint, or to one or more counts of such instrument.

    14. “Sentence” means the imposition and entry of sentence upon a conviction.

    15. “Judgment.” A judgment is comprised of a conviction and the sentence imposed thereon and is completed by imposition and entry of the sentence.

    Let's see what his homies do after the sentencing. They'll only intervene if they have to ( something other than a slap on the wrist or a commutation until after he leaves office)
