Supreme Court PREPARES TO REJECT Trump’s Request

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.Let Rocket Money reach your financial goals faster by going to https://rocketmoney.com/legalafVisit https://meidastouch.com for more!Support the MeidasTouch Network: https://patreon.com/meidastouchAdd the MeidasTouch Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-meidastouch-podcast/id1510240831Buy MeidasTouch Merch: https://store.meidastouch.comFollow MeidasTouch on Twitter: https://twitter.com/meidastouchFollow MeidasTouch on Facebook: https://facebook.com/meidastouchFollow MeidasTouch on Instagram: https://instagram.com/meidastouchFollow MeidasTouch on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@meidastouch Learn more about your ad choices.

Will any Dems OBJECT to Trump under ELECTORAL COUNT ACT?

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?
