Unconditional discharge.

Make no mistake. Judge Merchan is a traitor to the American people and he just sold out our professed system of democracy. If the rule of law does not apply -- if there are no real consequences for the most powerful people in this country -- then the rule of law means NOTHING. There will be more vigilantes. More assassinations. Because the justice system is broken and now people know that they can get away with anything.

So it turns out that Alvin Bragg, not Judge Merchan, is the largely spineless one. Bragg has decided to pause the case, thus preventing the Trump sentencing from being upheld. If there is no accountability, there is no democracy. This is a dark day in America. Have we learned nothing? Fascists will continue to circumvent the law. Trump doesn't care about the Constitution. That requires street fighting.

HuffPost · Trump's Hush Money Judge Cancels Sentencing Date Without Setting New OneBy Sara Boboltz

I'm calling BS on this idea.

Our criminal justice system is so petrified of the "appearance" of political favoritism that it is actively engaged in political favoritism.

The notion of "judicial flexibility" is a disguise for fear of doing the right thing in the face of political pressure.

When you don't delay sentencing after a jury conviction solely because you wish to give the convicted felon a "fair" chance to win an election,

THAT IS NAKED FAVORITISM AND PUTTING A FELON ABOVE THE LAW.

Judges must stop normalizing criminality in the name of political fairness.

'Criminal court state court Judge Merchan outsmarted Trump and his lawyers again, as Trump just lost his second appellate case in New York today, this time at the highest NY federal appeals court. Michael Popok breaks down why the 2nd Circuit denied Trump’s “emergency motion” to drag his state convictions over to federal court before the election.'

Listening to Lights On with Jessica Denson (Trump CAN'T RUN from HIMSELF, Kamala Gets SURPRISE Endorsement): podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/p

Lights on! A sentencing delay is cold comfort for felon candidate Donald Trump, as Judge Chutkan set up his nightmare October surprise: a massive evidence dump on his crimes relating to January 6. Meanwhile, as Kamala continues to pick up the unlikeliest of endorsements (did somebody say Dick Cheney?), Trump makes one incoherent appearance after another, defames more of his sexual assault victims, and once again throws America under the bus in the service of Vladimir Putin. Plus, there are updates in the Arlington National Cemetery scandal, and the Trump campaign is desperate to shut its staffers up.

How can this be seen as justice being done. #Trump has been favored by #JudgeMerchan because he is a presidential candidate, not for any reason based on the merits or lack thereof of his case. He was found guilty. He should be sentenced as soon as punishment has been decided. Suppose he wins. No matter the decision, the public will have no choice but to believe the judge has favored him again, sentenced him more lightly than warranted, no matter the actual sentence.

Mother JonesTrump won't be sentenced until after the electionThe delay in his "rigged" trial comes at his own request.

Judge Merchan's act of cowardice in delaying Trump's sentencing until after the election reveals nothing less than the incurable incorrigibility and hideously backslapping nature of our sham of a criminal justice system. Trump has received more lucky breaks than ANY American. And if we can't hold the richest criminals accountable for their wrongdoing, then Lady Justice is far from blind.

Denial, Defiance, Dismissiveness. You might think the #NBC journalist is talking about #Trump: Denying he even knew #EJCarroll; Defying the rules in #JudgeMerchan's courtoom by gesticulating and muttering; Dismissing the results of the election!!! But you'd be wrong. Points for alliteration but that's about it.

NBC News · 3 takeaways from the Biden's post-debate interview with ABC NewsBy Sahil Kapur

Some of the judicial issues we have are court/judge self infliction. The likes of Giuliani, Bannon, Jones, and #Trump get their high 💵 lawyers to manipulate the system. To the courts/judges…it’s OK to say no more. It’s OK to say enough is enough. It’s OK to not delay. It’s OK to apply justice NOW. If any newly justices need guidance, see how #JudgeMerchan ran his courtroom. #Justice #JusticeDelayedIsJusticeDenied
