Supreme Court denies Trump’s request to halt sentencing

The Supreme Court rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s request to block criminal proceedings in his hush money case in New York, meaning a sentencing hearing scheduled for tomorrow can go ahead. The decision on a 5-4 vote with four conservatives dissenting meant the conservative-majority court changed course after having previously handed Trump two big wins last year.

Breaking news trump not held accountable isn’t really breaking news at all…..

[diane]

What a joke....no consequences for the upper class

[nycsdxg]

Put him in jail. 34 felonies and no prison time. What a joke.

[mnelson]

The amount of people with lower level felonies get no mercy, yet he get no jail time before even being sentenced. No respect for any supreme court JUDGES OR ANY JUDGE THEY ALL ARE CORRUPT.

[kaceesnow]

A sentence with no penalty, is NOT A SENTENCE

What good is this if no prison time is issued?

[williamhudson]

If that was any of us we would be under the jail

[Gemini]

Better than nothing! Let's see if they will disqualify him!

[leeandrews]

No jail time for 34 felonies. The judge should be disbarred.
