  1. Question on the Court’s decision to keep trump on the ballot. This portion of the 14th amendment section 3 ” But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.” If we consider their decision as a ballot question then this section isn’t cast aside, but if we consider it a question of can trump hold office then based on what is being reported is true, this section was cast aside by the Court. Only one way for the decision to be rational is if they decided if states can removed people from the ballot, not if trump can hold office. Seems this is a time where states electors would come in play lawfully.

  2. Ms Kanefield,
    When for you opportune (and I hope it’s soon), would you please comment on what a re-elected Trmp actually can and cannot do to affect his legal situation. Can he really simply tell an Attorney General to abandon any investigations? Shut down any prosecution? Stop a trial which is already underway?
    Thank you for all you do.
    Regards,

    In the NYT coverage of the federal appeals court ruling of the immunity question today (2/6/24) was the following statement.
    “The panel said that Mr. Trump had until Monday to ask the Supreme Court to get involved in the case and continue a stay of all the underlying proceedings. The case was initially put on hold by the trial judge in December.

    But the panel imposed a rule designed to discourage Mr. Trump from making an intermediate challenge to the full court of appeals. It said that if Mr. Trump instead took that route, trial preparations could begin again after Feb. 12.”

    Could you give your thoughts on this?

    1. Sounds like they are putting pressure on this to move quickly. Basically, if Trump makes another appeal to the same court (which he can do), they will not delay the trial. The trial only continues to be delayed if SCOTUS grants a stay, and that would require 5 votes, so it’s unlikely

  4. I am so grateful for your insight. Taking a brief recess from news this week, and hoping to continue to draw strength from your balanced perspective on the insanity of American politics in 2024.
