(4,533 posts)Judges may not follow the Jones decision allowing immediate legal proceedings against the President. The argument for delay because the President is too important to be distracted seems strong to me. I bet many judges would agree.

(4,533 posts)And as a general rule a defendant could wait to sue, just adding interest to damages she receives to compensate for the delay. And as a general rule we dont want a President spending time on relatively unimportant matters. Few Presidents will be bozos like Trump.

Excellent read & replies on the twitter feed.
Big ROFL to George "Kellyanne" Conway who brought the precedent set by his dogging of Pres Bill Clinton. It'll come back to bite his ass with Daniels vs Trump.
Interesting read. Thanks

This is becoming my weekly dilemma.
In my new Indivisible group, I volunteered to help assemble the weekly CTA email to the general group (Calls To Action). Each weeks issue begins with a quote. I seriously enjoy collecting quotes, so I kinda took that on.
Last week I wound up with eight, and had to pick one. Were working up the next one tomorrow morning, and I have at least four as of now...
Correction - at least five. Forgot one by Rudy Giuliani - "they may have a different version of the truth than we do."

I smiled when they stood Avenatti next to the superheros.
Now the Superheros have a Superhero!
Damm!
I'd sleep sound as a baby in Michael Avenatti pajamas too!

(80,700 posts)He was just getting started with the Stormy Daniels public offensive. He said "those who have nothing to hide - hide nothing." Just absolutely the GREATEST! So simple. So deadly accurate. A mere eight words.
I used it for the first CTA (Call To Action) email I worked on.

(30,657 posts)I wonder if he has always looked like that. He also reminds me of a superbly talented professional athlete who concentrates on his sport more than the distractions surrounding it.

It starts like this:
No. 95-1853
WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON, PETITIONER v. PAULA CORBIN JONES
on writ of certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the eighth circuit
[May 27, 1997]
Justice Stevens delivered the opinion of the Court.
This case raises a constitutional and a prudential question concerning the Office of the President of the United States.
...
SayItLoud
(1,696 posts)Doesn't the holder of the office have an obligation to respect it? Every judge alive in America knows that a person who holds an office, job, position AND LIES about the actions taken and activities of such must not have respect for the position, and therefore can not make this argument successful.
I know, I know; I'm not a lawyer but sometimes I play one on the web.

(5,498 posts)When I click on his account, which I presume is "Michael Avenatti" in the post, I don't see this
Twitter message there. I see older ones.
If its busy, back out & retry immediately.
Its no doubt a busy site.
Sometimes if you are just reading without an acct, you have to kinda wait your turn.
It may take 2 or 3 attempts to get into the acct.
You will.

all of the Republicans on the Court care... remember Bush Vs Gore? They didn't care about prior cases/law and included a directive saying their decision should be taken as some stand-alone decision. They have different standards for Republicans and Democrats, apparently.
