Just a way to continue the "convicted felon" association every time his name is mentioned. JMO

It kind of sounds that the sentence will be kind of like probation.

I might be misunderstanding it but that's me reading between the lines.

Yes ... or like a good behaviour bond. If he is not re-arrested for a crime, he won't be subject to imprisonment.

A New York appeals court judge has rejected Donald Trump’s emergency request to delay Friday's sentencing on his hush money conviction

 

[sds71]

President-elect Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to halt his Friday sentencing for his conviction on charges related to a hush money scheme one day after a New York appeals court judge declined to halt the proceeding.

Trump’s lawyers filed an emergency application with the high court early Wednesday after a New York appeals court judge turned down his request to indefinitely postpone the sentencing.

Looks like Sonia Sotomayor handles emergency matters for NY.


By default, the appeal will go to Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who handles emergency matters arising from New York. She could act on the application alone or refer it to the full court for a vote.

The New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state, has denied President-elect Donald Trump's request to halt his sentencing Friday in his criminal hush money case.

Trump on Wednesday launched an eleventh-hour request to New York's highest court to pause the hush money case, on the same day that he also asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt his sentencing.

Still waiting on a Supreme Court decision though. A Supreme Court reporter thinks that decision may come on Thursday evening ... so maybe sometime soonish.

Trump apparently has called Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, but the Justice says they didn't discuss this matter. Interesting timing of the call. imo


The question of votes comes amid news, first reported by ABC News, that on Tuesday, Trump called U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, one of the most far-right jurists on the top court, purportedly to discuss a job reference.

“We did not discuss the emergency application he filed [Wednesday], and indeed, I was not even aware at the time of our conversation that such an application would be filed,” Alito said, ABC reported. “We also did not discuss any other matter that is pending or might in the future come before the Supreme Court or any past Supreme Court decisions involving the President-elect.”

While the Supreme Court is under no obligation to respond before Trump’s sentencing Friday, it likely will.

“The Court will probably issue its order this evening,” notes The Economist’s Supreme Court reporter Steven Mazie.

Are you not stunned that Trump actually called a supreme court judge
Who actually took his call while Trump's case is pending before the Court?

If you believe they didn't discuss the issue pending before the court
I have some attractive swampland to sell you

The ethics involved in such a call left me speechless
It seems remarkably inappropriate!!!!!!

Even if they didn't discuss the,case,before the court, any discussion
Between Trump and a supreme court judge is inappropriate!!!!

What happens if SCOTUS doesn't stay his sentencing?

I think they will, but what if they didn't? We can't have the "will of the people" sent to prison. LOL Not that he would be sent to prison, but just thinking aloud.

I wonder if SCOTUS will "postpone" the sentencing until after his term is up. That might be the thing to do -- don't just toss it out, since he was already convicted but put it on hold. I don't think that would be a constitutional crisis.

Merchan has already said he won't be sentenced to incarceration. Just something like a good behaviour bond. 'Don't get re-arrested and you won't be incarcerated'.

There is no reason to delay, as Alvin Bragg clearly noted in his Supreme Court response (which is in the article I just posted).

If you attempt to get into Trump's mind, it doesn't matter that
He won't receive any real sentence ----- For Trump just the idea that
He has to go before the judge for a meaningless sentence, to him,
Means the judge wins and he loses and he cannot tolerate any type of loss
