After years of assembling datapoints around the potential for the Supreme Court to be compromised, it was the discovery of Mary McCord’s husband Sheldon Snook deep in the office of Chief Justice John Roberts that finally sealed the deal for me personally. Yes, the Supreme Court is compromised.
Quick Context. Mary McCord was the architect of all Trump targeting efforts. The FISA on Carter Page, the weaponization of the DOJ-NSD, the installation of Michael Atkinson as Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), the companion to Sally Yates in the Flynn targeting, lead staff for the Schiff/Nadler impeachment effort, later appointment by FISA Presiding Judge Boasberg to be amicus to the FISC, in combination with Chief Justice John Roberts holding authority over the FISC, and the discovery that Sheldon Snook, McCord’s husband works in Robert’s office as “special assistant to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.’s counselor. The counselor’s office advises the chief justice not only on the management and budget of the Supreme Court but also on his interactions with the executive and legislative branches, along with numerous other public roles in which Roberts serves.” (link)
Mary McCord is the fulcrum point for all of the above issues. She connects all of the targeting operations. Mary McCord is the center of it, and John Robert’s office is compromised by the appointment of her husband Sheldon Snook. So, this story below does not surprise me.
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith jumped over the appeals court and asked the Supreme Court to decide on President Trump’s position of presidential immunity for his requests to secure the integrity of the 2020 election while in office. In the fastest turn around time in history, the Supreme Court [Robert’s office] said yes, they will hear the arguments.
WASHINGTON DC – Special counsel Jack Smith is urging the Supreme Court to urgently resolve Donald Trump’s claim that he’s immune from prosecution for charges related to his bid to subvert the 2020 election.
Without the Supreme Court’s swift intervention, Trump’s trial could be indefinitely delayed, the special counsel warned in a petition to the high court on Monday.
That’s because the trial, scheduled to begin March 4, is effectively suspended while Trump pursues his appeal of the trial judge’s ruling rejecting his immunity arguments, Smith wrote. Resolution of the novel legal question is necessary to ensure the case proceeds “promptly,” he argued.
By coming directly to the Supreme Court, Smith is hoping to bypass a federal appeals court and is mounting an aggressive bid to keep the timing of the election-focused trial on track. If the March 4 trial date sticks, it would be the first trial for Trump in the four criminal cases he is facing as he mounts a bid for re-election to the White House.
[…] The justices acted quickly on Smith’s motion. In a brief order Monday afternoon, they directed Trump’s lawyers to respond by Dec. 20 to the prosecutor’s request for the Supreme Court to add the case to its docket for this term. (read more)
There’s your inflection point timeframe.
The executive branch wants Trump on trial by Super Tuesday, March 5th the main primary election date. The legislative branch wants to extend warrantless surveillance, the mechanism to exploit the Trump supporter targeting operation, through April 19th. [Patriots Day 👀]
There’s the 2024 detonation timeframe, between March and mid-April.
Elon Musk herds all the MAGA groups and “domestic violent extremists” into the Twitter stadium. All seats are filled by March. Boom, everyone scrambles. Thousands of subpoenas released as part of the metadata hit list.
@Shipwreckedcrew on X (former fed prosecutor and current counsel for many J6 defendants) says:
EVERYONE claiming SCOTUS acted in an unusual manner by asking for briefing doesn’t understand the process. This is a procedural issue. The nine justices dont vote on these. It is either a professional staffer or the Chief’s office that set the schedule for Trump’s response to the request. They just want to know if Trump agrees or disagrees with taking this up as “cert before judgment” – NOT whether to grant Cert and actually hear the case. If they take it up “Cert before Judgment” THEN they will set a briefing schedule. If the decide not to, then the DC Cir will schedule Trump’s appeal in that court. But even if that court expedicts the case – and they have not said they will, it is unlikely they can get it from briefing thru argument to decision in the time remaining. And Trump could then file a Cert petition in SCOTUS.
“And Trump could then file a Cert petition in SCOTUS.”
Unlike their eagerness to accommodate the special counsel, I expect SCOTUS to deny President Trump the same courtesy.
I’m not impressed much with Shipwreckedcrew based on some of his defending of DOJ in the past. But maybe he’s changed, idk. I trust Sundance’s instinct more on this.
Agreed! There is no defending the DOJ….period! And…..add in the fact…the Supreme Court…at least Roberts…..IS COMPROMISED!
Shipwreckedcrew is a deep state shill. Not surprised he would take the unprecedented step of agreeing to circumvent 250 years of jurisprudence, simply to target the real President Donald Trump.
The ad hominem attacks on Shipwreckedcrew are a disgrace to reasoned discussion on this site. Sundance, you should take action in this regard. Whatever the commenters think personally about ShipwreckedCrew, he is presenting a fact that any lawyer can tell you is correct. The fact that SCOTUS requested a response from President Trump tell us nothing about what any Justice thinks or what the Court might do. What comes from the Court after both sides have submitted briefs will begin to provide actual insight.
When anyone in government, including the Supreme Court justices, commit treason against their SWORN OATH to uphold and protect the USA Constitution, they commit a DIRECT ACT OF WAR against the country and it’s citizens.
This SCOTUS has been committing treason for decades!
“To consider judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” – Thomas Jefferson
Ruth Bader Ginsberg stated in her closing of 0bama and his reupping the unPatriot Act (which is TREASON by it’s own stated purposes!) stated clearly “That although it is unconstitutional , we must trust 0bama.”
At that moment I knew the full SCOTUS was compromised because NOONE dragged that treasonous little troll out by her kicking heels and hanged her on the spot for her OPEN AND DEFIANT TREASON against the country and the citizenry when she broke her sworn oath.
There is only one punishment for treason.
This is because there is nothing more dangerous and despicable than a backstabbing murderous (how many did 0bama then murder?) traitors.
Damn, wakey wakey people.
” They violate their constitutional oath and, thus, immediately forfeit their office and authority and their proclamations may be disregarded with impunity and that means anyone, even the governor and President.” ex parte Milligan 71 U.S. 2
The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U. S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for any law which violates the Constitution to be valid.
“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.” Marbury vs Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch), 137, 174, 176, (1803)
“The powers of the legislature are defined and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken or forgotten, the constitution is written,” – John Marshall
Marbury vs Madison “the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.” – John Marshal
> At that moment I knew the full SCOTUS was compromised because NOONE dragged that treasonous little troll out by her kicking heels and hanged her on the spot for her OPEN AND DEFIANT TREASON against the country and the citizenry when she broke her sworn oath.<
God did. And she’s kicking and screaming, to no avail, right now …
Yes, but I would like to try to save people here on Earth in my time if He is willing.
It is still, and always will be, a duty.
Very well said – are we the people going to continue abiding these traitors? They have ZERO respect for the law and the constitution. If they did, this would not be happening.
Agreed.as to the point you make David.
Sundance’s approach is generally to let it run, so take the approach that the answer to bad or valueless speech is better speech.
Which you have done.
I feel like it would be good news if the court ruled that Trump is not immune from prosecution for anything he did as President of the United States. (1) He did nothing wrong and (2) Obama and Biden will have lost their protections.
Yes, except that a judgement of that sort would open the floodgate to a March lawfare trial of DJT, a corrupt court conviction on meaningless charges BEFORE the election, and (hence) justification to stricken Trump from the ballot. The charges and conviction will later be found to be ridiculous and overturned on appeal, but the damage will have been done.
A hearing by SCOTUS and grant of immunity would also be damaging, as it would provide grounds for the (real) criminal Biden to claim immunity by virtue of office. The best way forward is for SCOTUS to deny a hearing on the basis that the case has not been given adequate prior consideration at lower court levels.
“The best way forward is for SCOTUS to deny a hearing on the basis that the case has not been given adequate prior consideration at lower court levels.”
Agreed.
Yup. Tactically, that delays it even further into the future, so it’s good for our side, but legally, it’s extraordinary for the Supreme Court to take something up where the record hasn’t been fully developed in the lower courts.
I could see something akin to qualified immunity, where actions taken in the course of fulfilling the responsibilities of being President are immune, while actions that have nothing to do with being President are not immune. Checking up on election integrity is clearly within the scope of the President’s responsibilities, so he shouldn’t be subject to prosecution for it.
OTOH, I think President Trump’s double jeopardy argument is frivolous. Impeachment is a political process, not a legal process, so being impeached for something shouldn’t confer double jeopardy in the legal system, as President Biden may find out.
Actually, it is double jeopardy since Congress has the only oversight for a President by way of impeachment. Impeachment is both political and legal. No other court has jurisdiction over presidential actions. It is an impeachment trial, not a hearing.
Lawyers are damn reason for the mess this country is in. Just because someone has a union bar card does not mean we should follow blindly.
Now as far as you telling Sundance what he should do, let’s see how that works out.
How many times and in what circumstances in the past has SCOTUS taken this type of action?
Oh Sundance and Shipwreckedcrew have had some action alright. 🤣
Oh, and we can speak freely in our damn Treehouse.
I think if you apply the the legal term “id quod ambit, redit” the court will find in favor of the respondent 7-2. Latin translation: What goes around, comes around.
What is Latin for “LOL”?
Obviously Clarence Thomas is a mental and legal giant whom we do not deserve (and almost didn’t get thanks to Senator Lyin’ Joe Biden) and aside from him, Alito is stellar and Gorsuch appears to be pretty principled as well. I think we all knew Roberts was compromised after the O-Care decision….and the number of cases where Kavanaugh and Barrett have punted just continues to increase every year! When combined with the three Leftist Loony “Ladies” we are in a world of hurt, IMHO!
“LORD, we do not know what to do. Our eyes are on You!” II Chronicles 20:12
Exactly. This^^^^^. So much for a “conservative” court.
The special counsel’s filings [1] show that Michael R. Dreeben, a former Justice Department lawyer who for years argued criminal cases at SCOTUS, is as “Counselor” part of Jack Smith’s team. Dreeben also was part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team.

At what point, when all those DOJ subpenas, and FBI HRT & tactical team deployments, to throw more Christians, combat Veterans, and other Trump supporters into the Federal gulags, will they be surprised when American patriots no longer submit to the lawless thugs? How many dead FBI agents, or “sudden deaths” of Democrat government loyalists would it take before Biden (or whoever runs the American government) declares martial law, and calls in the US military? What would happen if all this lawless, unconstitutional (but Roberts USSC court approved) political targetting actually met with an insurrection? Oh, no one wants to talk about it in polite society – Tucker Carlson just referred to the likelyhood of violence, but everyone knows that he’s a nut. The country will disintegrate – it’s happening politically right now.
Let me make it clear. I didn’t take my military oath, I haven’t served my country and lived a lawful life in America all these years, to see the lawless run America. I’m not going to throw my life away, and just flail about and go postal, either. The problem that the Democrats are going to have when the “balloon goes up”, i.e. when the REAL armed opposition kicks in, is that it will be very organized, but also very tribal. It won’t be diverse”militias” going up against Federal guns. It’ll be families, friends, people you know and trust and care about, small groups of those who you are willing go to war with and for. That part will be like 1861.
There won’t be any FBI informants. There won’t be one group, but many operating independently, who the FBI will know absolutely nothing about. Say a couple like the McCord-Snook couple goes down, heck, looks like common street violence, and the FBI will have zero clues, no trail to follow, no idea who did what. (Well, kind of like what’s happening now when the Biden/Federal team does what they do.) That will happen a lot. Maybe someone like Smith or a USAO will bite the dust in a “car accident”, or maybe his/her spouse or kids. No witnesses. No one knows what happened, but everyone will know why (or will THINK they do, anyways). It will usher in an insane period of time in America, before America eventually becomes something else. America divided cannot exist, that much, Lincoln certainly had right.
The Democrats M.O. has been to divide people, destroy our traditions, obliterate our history and it’s heroes, in other word, what’s coming is exactly what the authoritarian socialists and their indirectly supporting anarchists have hoped and planned. It’ll happen because the only alternative is that they rule without vote or recourse, similar to China’s CCP, i.e. a very small minority of elites (again, as his developing now). They’ll have the houses, any cars, the money, investments, their kids will get the best education, their families the best healthcare, the best food, and so forth, while 99.5% of the rest of America will exist much like the 1989 Soviet Russian people and people in their colonies. Little or no health care, short life expectancy, bugs for protein instead of meat, one room, unheated, cement block cells for homes, and so forth.
The leftist expect this violent insurrection, and they expect to finish as the only American’s left standing, when in fact, most of them will end up worm food, one way or the other. Because free Americans will not tolerate a CCP style authoritarian socialist autocracy of elites, while they are armed. The WILL fight back, and neither the political left, or the idiots employed by them in the DOJ/FBI, DHS, corrupted US military, or other agencies, have accurately “gamed” this thing out. They just have no clue of the tornado that’s approaching them. (Aside: Of course, I believe that the Chinese CCP believes that America will become their spoils, one way or other, with about 290 million fewer, living Americans, but that’s a different battle.)
So, yeah, go ahead, take the leading Presidential candidate, the one who arguably won the last election (but was repeatedly denied his day in court to prove it), throw him in the Federal gulag system. Put him in solitary during the election season. Then outright steal the next Presidential election, or heck, declare martial law because of another insurrection, and void future elections. If they can do the one thing (lawlessly imprison Trump), then they can do the other (void future elections). Either no one will stop them, or, we ALL will stop them in 100,000,000, individual ways.
I agree 1000%. Either you eat the bear or the bear eats you!
THEY are trying to do things that have never been done, before……a bunch of them.
For instance, saying they want to impose something like what the Soviets imposed on the occupied “Republics” after WW2; Yes, thats what they WANT.
But those Countries, and Russia were all in a state of deprivation, post WW2.
The U.S. is trying to IMPOSE deprivation, in large part with the rediculous GND, which as we see in EU the mandates for Solar/wind only, are unenforceable once they reach the point where they aren’t able to meet the energy need.
There plan ain’t gonna work, and their uncompromising insistence on pushing forward IS,going to earn them all dirt naps, before the end.
Cause they just won’t stop,..
Agreed! Reeks of desperation.
The Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of our government state & federal are fully compromised, act and understand accordingly.
Local and County too.
cell towers down first.
Preview is already out there on Netflix. Really surreal movie. Driverless Teslas piling up on the LIE was creepy.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12747748/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
Apparently an Obama production. No thanks!
OK FILTHY LIBERALS 2ND. Rail lines, Hydro Towers in the middle of nowhere, Transformers (one of a kind)….
The book “Unintended Consequences” comes to mind.
Yes… worth a good read or re-read.
The last Civil War wasn’t just armies in the field. Bands of marauders roamed the countryside, stealing and killing as they pleased. Neighbor fought with neighbor. Old grudges were settled. New ones created. No one who lived through it was unaffected. Historians estimate between 650,000 to 750,000 Americans died during the Civil War. What will the death toll be in the next one?
Most people were able to feed themselves back then. Now, very few are prepared.
And they likely knew how to handle a weapon.
95 million. Minimum.
It will be horrible and beyond the comprehension of normal people/citizens.
Pray that it does not happen….but prepare accordingly.
Wolverines…!
Sad to say that too many Americans are still apathetic about the horrors that are taking place..
Agreed. Dan Bongino has been asking the loaded question, “Is it bad enough yet?”.
Will the citizens of this country finally reach the tipping point?
“Is it bad enough yet?”.
i think we will have to be much MUCH further down the slide before we come to our senses and push back. i’m talking mass starvation and bodies piling up on suburban street corners bad.
in any other time in our history the shooting would have started about 10 red lines ago.
Agreed Seneca….Never ceases to amaze me just how apathetic folks are….and total lack of curiosity…not to mention 0 – zero critical thinking skills
Apathy coupled with normalcy bias is going to kill millions.
A true American not influenced by academia The True American Thank You for putting it in pure English straight talk. My thoughts go one further realizing we are in Gods time and are witnessing the end times spoke of in Matt. 24. What most dont realize is the fact that Jesus returns destroys the Evil National leaders their ilk but not the people he teaches them how to live peacefully for 1000 years. Then Satan is released again for a short period then tossed into the lake of fire with those who followed his ways then the heavens and the earth are destroyed by fire replaced with a new heaven and earth. Wiping away every tear and sin eternity begins.
I agree with you on what needs to happen. I just don’t think modern day Americans have the guts.
Section 1 – US Constitution:
Vesting Clause – The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
NB: All executive decisions made by the sitting president have no higher authority above him. That is how a strict constructionist jurist would view this issue now before the court. …shall be vested ….mandatory……… term of art. Not may be vested, or may not be vested ….but SHALL be vested.
Don’t like what the Executive is doing the USC says:, impeach him. But no were does it say some underling can override the POTUS.
Get out your little pocket-size dog-eared book on the US Constitution, Justice Kavanaugh – we who were supporting you believed that it meant something to you.
Perhaps he should be bombarded with mailings of that pocket-sized US Constitution…might send a somewhat subtle message.
So you say the claim that “no one is above the law” is false? That’s nice. But the constitution also provides a mechanism for removal… and THAT FAILED. So if the SCOTUS upholds the constitution’s vesting clause then Trump is protected but so too are Biden and Obama.
Thank God that We the People are not underlings.
From ex parte Milligan 71 US 2
“They violate their constitutional oath and, thus, immediately forfeit their office and authority and their proclamations may be disregarded with impunity and that means anyone, even the governor and President.”
This could be the deep state looking for an off-ramp from its miscalculated gambit. Get the USSC to save them from their own stupidity for making Trump more popular, by dismissing the case entirely.
LIKE ” OBAMACARE ” ? The Boy from Long Beach Indiana DID ” o ” A BIG FAVOR on THAT ONE
I would NEVER make a bet on what SCOTUS will or won’t decide.
Sure, there is that crazy Obummercare decision,…and the 2020 election “Standing” decision, which I actually agree with,..
But, Rowe v. Wade, AND affirmative action have both been overturned, religious freedom affirmed, 2A affirmed anf Fed overreach pushed back, all in the last 2-3 terms,…and most of those positives, with the current Court.
IF the Court rules against Smith, affirms PDJT has immunity for actions as POTUS, it pretty much sinks Smiths case, entirely, also IIRC, the one in Georgia and possibly Fla.
Sinks the one in New York too, because the disputed entry in the accounts was dated from 2017, when Trump had already taken office.
I don’t think so. The New York case isn’t against PDT personally, it’s against the business, which was being run by Don Jr. and Eric in 2017. That keeps going without regard for what his status was.
You may be thinking of different cases. There’s the one going now, the one presided over by the Pedo Judge and his clerk, Chuck Schumer’s Girlfriend for overvaluing assets, and there’s Alvin Bragg’s legally illiterate nonsense case, which is for campaign finance violations. The latter is the one Trump personally is being indicted for and, if the disputed filing occurred when Trump was in office and SCOTUS rules Trump can’t be indicted for anything he did while in office, then that case gets tossed
I always thought Roberts was compromised by going to Epstein’s Island to retrieve his illegally “adopted” children – they were trafficked to S. America from Ireland. He was being blackmailed to vote for Obamacare or be outed.
I myself have been thinking that this move may blow up in Hack Smith’s face. If SCOTUS decide the President can’t be indicted for anything he did under Presidential immunity, that’s all she wrote. It would kill all four cases
personally, i think you are whistling dixie if you think the corrupted and limpd*ck SCOTUS is going to do ANYTHING of bravery and consequence.
they proved in 2020 that they were more interested in satiating the mob than they were of adjudicating the Constitution.
no one is coming to save us except us. and thats IF we choose to stop consenting to be governed. a big IF.
Could be true under normal circumstances, but I think Jack Smith is a deranged partisan who does not think rationally.
Thank you for shining the light once again on MARTY McCord’s (he would be ugly dressing as a man or a woman) “husband” being the source of John Roberts’ corruption, Sundance.
Prior to joining the Treehouse I always thought it was Roberts’ visits to Epstein Island made him compromised.
So let’s be non PC and say how ugly does a “person”have to be to a top notch Democrat?
It could be both. Could have been compromised from trips or adoption process and proof of that compromise is having MC‘cord’s husband on his team
Or an adoption.
It’s why he went there: to retrieve his trafficked Irish children. Obama had his thumb on him.
Patience my friends. We must exhaust every available Constitutional process to correct the wrongs committed by those in control of our government. We are so fortunate that President Trump is leading the effort to do just that on our behalf. We must be familiar with the Constitution, and prepared to persuade and reason, one person at a time – with kindness. The task is daunting. Yes, Dems have been cheating in elections for many decades. Now Law-fare. A sizable number are without scruples – agents of evil. We must appeal to the Better Angels of our Nature. Example: I spoke with a Die-Hard Dem about Illegal Immigration – educated him about Biden stopping DNA tests to verify Child / Parent at the border for no rational, good reason; children being drugged so they cannot tell Border Patrol “this is not my Dad” My Dem friend was shocked. This is a big part of how we can win.
Or, we could just kill em all, and let GOD sort em out,…as in that old cartoon with the two buzzards,…you know “Patience my ass, I’m gonna KILL something!”
The quote is the flight patch for SPECTRE AC-130e gunships, 1971. 7 hours of first shot target placement in a paper plate at 3 NM. The military is being culled and sorted so the potential of pointing the progeny of these planes at Americans is possible. A direct kinetic escalation will quickly be squashed.
The indirect/untraceable approach listed by OldSaltUSN above is a better balance..

Nothing flies without contractors. Fuel is delivered by contractors and purchased from contractors. It travels in ordinary tanker trucks. The supply chain is very vulnerable, especially domestically.
i bet your dem friend still votes dem….. multiple times. sounds like a loser strategy to me. its the same one we’ve had for the last 3 decades and has brought us to this situation.
Your Dem friend was only shocked because now they think you’re an Alex Jones paranoid crazy.
Not because of what you said- why? Because KJP, Blinken, Mayorkas, and their merry band of propagandists at CNN/MSNBC tell them everything is ok- look here, Trump, not there, Uniparty doing illegal things.
Yes….unfortunately this is true. Even though so many things We Deplorables have said has come true…..my Prog friends are getting quieter but not changing their vote. It’s a club….and they want to stay in it.
The jabs deaths are beyond hiding. Hunter is in the headlines. The truth is emerging.

Time to try the law.
“To consider judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” – Thomas Jefferson
‘I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have … The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases. The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.’ – Thomas Jefferson

“They violate their constitutional oath and, thus, immediately forfeit their office and authority and their proclamations may be disregarded with impunity and that means anyone, even the governor and President.”
I had a longtime Democrat friend recently tell me he was done with the party. His two big issues were inflation and the border. I am under no illusion that he’s now a MAGA Republican, but he’s no longer an automatic vote for the D’s.
There is no point in being fearful in this hour. The tide is obviously turning against the corrupt scoundrels or they would not be acting so irrationally.
It is dawning on most Americans, the nation cannot allow this level of wickedness and corruption to continue without the people having their own lives destroyed.
Men can get pregnant?
Jews must be eliminated?
Hard work and merit mean nothing?
Looting and unpunished theft are perfectly OK?
Beating up the elderly on city sidewalks is fine with everybody?
Minors stealing cars right and left just for the heck of it is something to get used to?
Widespread drug use is a great idea?
i agree there is no point being fearful, but this is absolutely NOT the tide “turning” against evil. they have not even BEGUN what they have in store, while we still sit idly by hoping for a hero to rise.
Anybody know if it`s true Roberts adopted children with the help of Epstein??????
Didn’t Trump already Pardon himself before he was cheated out of office? If he says he did, then he did and it cannot be disputed.
Section 1 – US Constitution:
Vesting Clause – The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
NB: All executive decisions made by the sitting president have no higher authority above him. That is how a strict constructionist jurist would view this issue now before the court. …shall be vested ….mandatory……… term of art. Not may be vested, or may not be vested ….but SHALL be vested.
No, PDJT did NOT “Pardon himself before he,…left office.”
WHERE did you get THAT idea?
no, and even if he did and pardoning against future crimes was law (it is NOT), the republic ended with his exit. as such, whatever has gone on since does not follow Constitutional law, so its pretty irrelevant to argue its merits or expect t to be applied.
“election-focused trial”
Indeed.
JMO.
“W” of the infamous “2021 COW-coup-d’état against America’s Constitutional Republic and President Trump”, has, as part of his coup responsibilities, controlling the not-so-supreme court through his “leave behind” jurist Roberts.
With a simple phone call the COW-coup-d’état can get a case dropped or not even taken up for no legal reason and on the other side, with a simple phone call they can get one of their targets charged, prosecuted and sentence on drummed up charges.
But, curious minds wonder, did the COW just fall for the trap set for them by the G.O.A.T. rope-a-doper supreme?
Did they just step into the COW squeeze chute and hear and felt the squeeze action be activated?
Look into their eyes and see absolute fear.
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and the GOPe!”
FJR
Occum’s razor explanation is what Sundance has hypothesized. This SCOTUS bench- the non- traditionalists including Kavanaugh (scared and wanting to fit in) and Barrett (weak) with Gorsuch being the wild card and Roberts being compromised, we are only left with two reliable votes for constitutional process. Everyone else is subject to manipulation, and they don’t mind being manipulated. “Trust my gut” response is that Trump is facing legal jeopardy. Whether that actually dents his prospects or elevates it remains to be seen.
Manipulation?
Or Blackmail?
That seems prominent inside the Beltway
in order to conduct the next selection, the fascists know they must have some amount of plausibility. they understand that plausibility is what will keep the peasants from getting their pitchforks out.
in order to have plausibility, Trump cannot be consistently on the ballot. As such, these legal things are really the preamble to having him removed from at least some ballots, or at least causing enough chaos and chaff and countermeasures that it will not be consistent nationwide.
as such, he WILL be “convicted” on at least some of this stuff.
as before, the most important question remains what the people are prepared to do, not what the fascists will do.
This one will make or break SCOTUS.
And after a few interesting, under the radar suspensions on the ‘X marks the spot’ platform; things are not as they seem. The real truthers and knowledgeable are still being evicted. Yet the carpetbagging paytriots and sex peddlers remain there.
Set for December 20, 2023; Christmas present or time b*** starts ticking?
SCOTUS seems late to the party; Our elections could have been secured if a foul play decision had been dealt with at the time of occurrence and not based on the ‘aftermath’ of the foul play.
Will hindsight be 20/20?? Will justice be blind? Only the facts, ma’am?
God Help US
gotta be a dude. look at that chin. dear lord that’s ugly.
Hopefully the man in the arena will shine the light on the corruption in our court system. A most necessary step for “we, the people” to have access to justice, again.
Rough looking broad.
I believe this backfires bigly on Smith.
The constitutional is Trump was performing the duties of the president. The fraud was obvious and despite the media’s desperate word choices he never tried to subvert the process.
SCOTUS will see this for what it is and has no interest in opening the can of worms it will far beyond Trump.
At that point Smith’s DC case is over.
They could have simply refused cert which is what would have been expected. They didn’t.
Trump’s lawyers have the right to refuse and go through the appellate route and get to scotus down the line if it comes to that. It will be interesting to see which route they choose.
It’s a huge gamble on Smith’s part. He sees the writing on the wall. His case is weak and if this is meant to influence the election he has to get it on track to do so.
As I said below, I’d kick it right back down to Appeals. If a lowly Prosecutor could “appeal to Caesar,” everyone would.
A President or Former President DOES have that right, as the SCOTUS is his “court of primary jurisdiction” in cases involving the Presidency. But he is, as usual, the exception.
I hope and pray you’re right. I know you should be.
Back on our knees folks! Pray!
again, i remain surprised at the level of confidence people have in this “court”.
they are an illegitimate shell of what they once were, and are supposed to be.
no one is coming to save us, but us. and thats IF we decide to withdraw consent.
While I do’t have the legal capacity to decipher how/what actions come next, I do think that this statement is important: Elon Musk herds all the MAGA groups and “domestic violent extremists” into the Twitter stadium. All seats are filled by March. Boom, everyone scrambles. Thousands of subpoenas released as part of the metadata hit list.
Get off Twitter.
Thankfully I was never on it!
Or, demand that the First Amendment means what it says.
The one thing that we most plainly see, by every one of these foul people’s actions, is that they are TERRIFIED. Of Freedom.
They yearn to be in the most Totalitarian state possible … as long as they (of course …) are On Top. “Ick. One of Your Meal-Bugs wound up on My Steak!”
EXACTLY.
we keep quickly giving up our 1A and 2A purely out of fear of the consequence for not obeying. this is also known as CONSENT TO BE GOVERNED.
if you are willing to give up your god-given rights that easily, then they were NEVER RIGHTS to begin with. they are privileges and you acknowledge this government’s right to take it away from you.
Notice these husband and wife teams in DC. They never have the same last name. Why? Harder to trace the connections
Jack Assmith needs to have his mommy get his blankie and yum-yum so that he has rest comfy, and stop his temper tantrums.
Does GiveSendGo allow donations to individuals for AR-15 rifles?
Trump is us.
Mary McCord is not a female. Look at that Adams Apple.
Look at McCord’s adams apple!
Yes, the Supreme Court is compromised. The chief Justice in particular. Just a fact.

If SCOTUS dont shut Smith down we will…Truckers nurses firemen police tradesmen must start mass protest start in DC NYC Atlanta Chicago and other shithole cities in America.. Just dont go to work for a week.
I’d love nothing more than to finally see us put some TRUE economic and social pressure on these fascists, but I worry how committed we are. we seem more interested in boycotting beer than removing fascists from power.
IMO this would be one of the more effective means to bring the Leviathan to its knees, but also seems to be very elusive for us. after you get past all the “but what about J6” whiners (and the accompanying whiners who think any suggestion of action must be a “fed”), the next wave really doesn’t act in concert without a clear, obvious national-level voice calling for it explicitly. and even then, we don’t organize uniformly like the left does. it cannot work unless there are hundreds of thousands in every city who apply the pressure simultaneously and in sustained fashion (i think more than a week is a foregone conclusion if you want results).
Like our host, I have long felt the USSC was compromised. Roberts runs the FISA court. ‘Nuff said.
I have also long felt that Trump’s path back to the WH would involve a deal with the Uniparty/Deep State. Of what form? Probably that the treasonous filth are not pursued by President Trump. They come through now, and stand down. Trump may come through later, but will surely blackmail them for 4 years, and beyond even as he chooses his successor. The death penalty is a mighty persuader.
The framework is there.
How and Who is compromised on the Supreme Court, just Robert’s or others too?
Please see it coming. Preemptive damage control.
Respectfully Sundance, please spare us the pessimistic, doomsday one argument scenario. It may turn out that the 5 Justices (required to agree to hear the expedited case) may do the right thing and smack down this unconstitutional persecution election interference bs. We must wait. No rush to judgement. We have enough bad news already to deal with, let’s not add a may happen on top of it.
No need to wait. The USSC is compromised, no matter which way they go. Any decision will be at the pleasure of their compromisers.
I do not pretend, it is not in my nature.
It is by the corrupt SCOTUS’ very own past actions that reveal their continuing treason.
“To consider judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” – Thomas Jefferson
We know they have been committing treason OPENLY when Ruth Bader Ginsberg decided the reup of the unPatriot Act and clearly stated …
“It is unconstitutional , but we must trust 0bama.”
That was a declaration of WAR against the USA, it’s Constitution, and it’s citizens.
Ex parte Milligan 71 US 2 (1866) still has standing.
“They violate their constitutional oath and, thus, immediately forfeit their office and authority and their proclamations may be disregarded with impunity and that means anyone, even the governor and President.”
US Constitution Article VI
Section 2
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 3
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U. S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for any law which violates the Constitution to be valid.
“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.” Marbury vs Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch), 137, 174, 176, (1803)
“The powers of the legislature are defined and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken or forgotten, the constitution is written,” – John Marshall
Marbury vs Madison “the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.” – John Marshal
My patience has past it’s point of anything other than removing ALL the traitors from OUR government and restoring the lost principles of the Constitution.
These “Lost Principles” were not lost, but removed through TREASON.
The constitution is the government and creates and details the government and it’s capabilities and it’s LIMITS.
In the USA the government is severely limited in it’s lost/stolen principles. It’s listed in Article I section 8 of the US Constitution.
18 SPECIFIC powers off authority and limitations upon the federal government that was created with the USA Constitution by the States.
10th Amendment
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
“Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness] it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government.” – Thomas Jefferson
“A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government .” – George Washington
To me, it all comes down to Article 2, Section 3. Which tasks this one-person Branch of Government to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”
Election Fraud is a Federal crime – unless Democrats do it, because Orange Man Bad.
But nevertheless, if the President perceives that laws are being broken, especially one so important as this, he must not only Say something, but Do something. That’s what “take Care” means. He has a Constitutional Mandate NOT to remain silent.
These people, also, are not considering what the SCOTUS already did consider: that every former and present and future President would know that his political enemies would circle around him and THROW HIM, ALSO, IN PRISON(!) for doing anything they didn’t approve of, knowing that the DC Circuit would give them anything they ask. Soon thereafter, we would run out of Presidential candidates. For this reason, the SCOTUS has already ruled many times, always in Article 2’s favor.
The simplest action in this case would simply be to remand the case back down to the Court of Appeals. It’s very questionable whether a lowly Prosecutor has, or should have, the right to “skip a step.” (If he could, everyone would “Appeal to Caesar.”)
Here is the phone # for SCOTUS: 202-479-3000. Do your duty and call them and ask them to stop these corrupt lawyers from election interference of Trump. They took oaths to protect the Constitution.
Holy crap.
Sure would be nice if Roberts took a little heat about this guy Snook working for him. I think I know where the leak came from on the Roe vs. Wade decision–it was someone in Robert’s office. (Gee, I wonder who?) And this would also explain why the leaker was never found.
The Supreme Court decision will set precident for the future of this country, and the rule of law.
Reading through the comments, there is way too much emoting and not enough game theory thinking going on.
(Not to mention a glowie invasion promoting hysteria).
The person moving the chess piece here is Smith.
Why this move?
As others pointed out above, prosecuting President Trump wakes the normies. Doing it before Super Tuesday makes him a martyr.
We are somewhere between the 8th and the 9th inning, with a Trump win looming.
Think about it. This isn’t an offense move, it is a defense move.
Let’s assume the DS is as aware as many of us that we are winning. They are already hyperventilating about a Trump “dictatorship. ”
What pieces on the game board do they need or want to protect from prosecution – especially prosecution that would lay bare all their corruption? Obama, Clinton, and Bush. All of which make House of Bush look like pikers at the Great Game of Grift. They do NOT want the public seeing the truth.
What’s the best way to protect them against a charge of treason while in office? Or espionage? Or taking bribes?
Presidential Immunity.
You have to sacrifice a piece. What is the forced move?
I see this as Smith running to SCOTUS to get insurance for his owners NOW because if events overtake, President Trump comes into office– and he has made it clear he starts prosecutions with no holds barred three hours after swearing the oath.
They are sweating.
Panic in DC.
I keep reading about “they are sweating.” Hardly. They own the media, main stream and social, the financial system, law enforcement, the IC, the courts, the schools, and the military. Oh yeah, they own the voting, too. No, they are a cat toying with a mouse. And we are the mouse. 2024 is for all the beans, and “they” are not going to let PDJT win.
Have you not heard President Trump say repeatedly that they are not going to succeed this time?
O ye of little faith.
BTW, he also told you “We caught them all.”
In my book, that means they have e very blackmail or personal video and email on every laptop , from Weiner to Pelosi to Seth Rich to the Awans.
Now, you or I might gain possession of a child rape video and we would go running to the police (good luck with that).
This is war. All is fair in war, including blackmailing the blackmailed. And you don’t use all your ammunition at once, and you don’t put it out for the world to see before you deploy it.
That drip drip drip of CSAM leading a path straight to Pete Buttigieg?
That’s strategic.
President Trump has it all.
*House of Biden look like pikers.
The FBI , DOJ , DNC , RNC , Mike Flynn , Alex jones , Rodger Stone , certain Proud boys and Oathkeepers all conspired to overthrow a duly elected President! This was plotted before the election! Jan 6th was set up to make it look like Trump was not going give up and start an insurrection!
The real insurrection was started by Flynn, Alex Jones and Rodger Stone to frame Trump! They fired up the crowd on the 5th! They had Epps saying to storm the capital. They embedded FBI and capital police into the crowd. They waved many innocent people into the capital who did nothing wrong and were not violent! All to stop Trump from questioning the certification process which he had every right to do! This is TREASON at the highest level! Jack Smith is a court jester just like all these other prosecutors trying to pin fake crimes on Trump!
Not sure how this will end but what I just wrote is 100 % truth! I have no faith in Government My faith is in Jesus Christ! Whatever happens now is in his hands!
Get the name Mike Flynn out of your mouth.
Setting another precedent….just saying.
This is a political move by Jack Smith. Got it. Even mentioning impeachment, which is a political process, makes Smith’s true motivations clear. The lefties have two options as I see it.
Let’s say SCOTUS decides for Smith. We know what will happen next. Non-stop, unrestricted lawfare. Maybe they finally “get Trump”. That’s Jack Smith and Obama’s wet dream. However…
Let’s say SCOTUS blows Jack Smith’s case to kingdom come. Leftist media whores will make this decision out to be at least on par, if not worse, than overturning Roe v Wade. That decision was used to rally the democrat base starting in 2022. (There is some discussion about the Roe decision being still potent in the 2023 off-year elections last month). Assuming there are at least these two SCOTUS-induced issues active in 2024, the leftist rallying call will be to take the House, Senate and White House, and defeat Trump once again. Afterwards, the left would apply pressure to the Judicial branch to get in line. Because Orange Man bad. Infanticide good.
If you have not read the comments on the first page please do.
Pay particular attention to a comment from Regitiger
Near the bottom of the comments.
If the SCOTUS strips President Trump of immunity, it will set up unintended consequences for other Officers of Government immunity, including Congress and Attorney General’s. The SCOTUS judges would also be painting a bullseye on themselves.
No of these other members of government are elected besides Congress and The President of the United States.
I do not think the SCOTUS IS going to set a precedent that could ultimately lead to them losing immunity also.
Everything I put in my comment comes from Regitiger comment. This is his comment in a nutshell. Please read his comment, because he explained it way better than I can.
Let’s see what President Trump does. If he doesn’t want the issue joined right now, he can elect to reply that he wants the Court of Appeals to rule first and does not agree to have the appellate level skipped.
Breathe, people.
President Trump is not worried. As long as he isn’t worried, we shouldn’t be either.
I have no clue how President Trump feels worried or not.
What I do feel is that Jack Smith is an idiot.
I agree with Regitiger that the Supreme Court is gonna tread very carefully here.
I also agree in part to your comments also, but now is not the time to breathe when our government has turned against every supporter of President Trump.
Jack Smith and his chain of command know full well they cannot steal the 2024 election cycle if the Trump campaign staff and its hired legal talent are able to coordinate and fund highly proactive election integrity efforts throughout the spring, summer, and fall of 2024.
In addition to the list of reasons cited by Sundance and several others as to why Jack Smith and his puppet masters want the trial moved up, another important reason is to tie up the legal talent and the staff resources Trump will need to perform the pre-election anti-fraud work necessary to ensure that an honest election is held in November 2024.
I have believed for a very long time….that the Supreme Court is comprimised. And maybe I missed it here, but this is the first time I have ever seen anybody say or agree with my assessment. And my belief goes back to the Obama years and Obama care. I would include source information from Vault 7 of Wikileaks if I remember correctly.
Obama spied on….and got leverage over anyone he thought he would need it over and Roberts is one of them!
It is irrefutable that President Trump has presidential immunity. I’m not suggesting that is how the Supreme Court will rule. They too are without doubt compromised.
Roberts, in my opinion, is merely a marxist oaf with no special intellectual power or radius.
Also, IMHO, both Kavanaugh and Barrett have failed to show the courage and integrity required/demanded by sitting the highest court of the land.
