Wow! Supreme Court Justice Turns Against Court in Public

The Supreme Court is unlikely to bail out Trump and save him from E Jean Carroll’s two judgments totaling almost $100 million dollars for sex assault, defamation and punitive damages, as they have sat on the sidelines and not taken up his appeal of the Second Circuit’s immunity decision last December. Michael Popok explains how the Second Circuit’s decision this week to uphold E Jean’s first $5 million dollar jury verdict against Trump most certainly means that Trump will be forced to pay the remaining $90 million dollars to her also, with no Supreme Court bailout in sight.

Legal AF's Popok gives an urgent briefing to update on this week's breaking developments AND answers the audience's questions too! Today, Popok covers: 1) what the E Jean Carroll appeal loss for Trump on the $5 million sex assault and defamation case means for the $83 million dollar second case against him for punitive damages; 2) whether the 11th Circuit will issue their ruling reversing Judge Cannon's terrible Special Counsel precedent before Trump takes office and pardons everyone; 3) How Democrats can use the MAGA civil war that has broken out over immigration to their advantage; 4) Trump's Chief of Staff is already spinning out of control and get bring discipline to a confirmation process that is just one or two bad social media posts away from mayhem; 5) the MAGA House may be down to a 1 seat majority come early 2025 with new reporting that MAGA has been hiding the fact that a House member hasn't voted in more than a year and may be living in a memory unit of a care facility; and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

It’s time again for Popok to go to the blackboard to take a hard look at new calls to use the Electoral Count Act to have 20 percent of House and Senate members lodge an objection to Trump’s electoral college votes to have Kamala win the presidency after all. Does the 14th Amendment allow it, and will this MAGA Supreme Court find that unless Congress acts to declare Trump an insurrectionist, all 14th Amendment attacks are useless? Popok explains.

Trump’s own failed energy and infrastructure policies make it impossible for his promise that “all remaining bitcoin will be made in the USA” by crypto-miners, to come true. Michael Popok explains that Trump’s attacks on clean energy and failure to follow up on Biden's policies will give Russia, China, the arab world, and Africa the lead in producing bitcoin and cryptocurrency, putting American national security at risk.
