Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

The States have been, well . . . all over the map (pun intended) on whether Donald Trump is constitutionally disqualified from being on the presidential ballot because he engaged in an insurrection. Glenn surveys the laws and the state of play in Colorado, Michigan, California, and Maine, regarding Trump's status as a presidential candidate. He also projects what he thinks the US Supreme Court might do once the issue reaches the justices.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed a Motion In Limine, seeking to have Judge Tanya Chutkan prohibit Trump's lawyers from making improper arguments to the jury during his criminal trial in DC. As The Washington Post reported, "Special counsel asks D.C. judge to bar Trump misinformation at trial." Glenn discusses the law that applies to such motions in limine, and reviews the laundry list of "don'ts" that Smith includes in his motions.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Michigan Supreme Court has refused to review a case that sought to ban Donald Trump from having his name placed on the Republican primary ballot in Michigan. This ruling is unsurprising given the unique election laws and procedures in Michigan. If the Michigan Republican Party wants to place a name on its presidential primary ballot, it can put any name it likes, including someone who may otherwise be disqualified from holding public office. That may make little sense, but each state has the right to enact its own election laws and regulations, and Michigan has chose a . . . curious way to go about things. Notably, the Michigan Secretary of State has no legal authority to reject Trump's name even though he engaged in an insurrection. So the Michigan Supreme Court opted to not review the case, as it involved no violation of Michigan election laws. However, if Trump were to win the Republican nomination, the suit will be refiled and the court may then HAVE to review and resolve the case. Indeed, the attorney who brought the case on behalf of the Michigan voters has said he will refile the case if Trump ends up being the Republican nominee.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There is both concern and confusion over exactly what it means that the US Supreme Court refused to accept review - on an accelerated basis - of Donald Trump's (baseless) claim of absolute presidential immunity from prosecution. Glenn does a deep dive on what this Supreme Court decision means; what it doesn't mean; and the reasons he thinks the Supreme Court will ultimately reject Trump's claim that a president can commit any and all crimes while in office with complete protection from being prosecuted.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained and published letters of "apology" from some of Donald Trump's co-conspirators/co-defendants in his Georgia state RICO case, under the headline, "Exclusive: Apology letters surface in Fulton Trump case." The apology letters authored by defendants Sidney Powell and Keneth Chesebro are embarrassing in their lack of anything that approaches genuine remorse for their democracy-busting crimes in Georgia. Glenn says the people of Georgia deserve better than these disrespectful jokes of apology letters.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Judge Tanya Chutkan has ruled that presidents are not kings, presidents are not above the law, and Donald Trump CAN be prosecuted for the crimes he committed while in office. Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed motions seeking an expedited review of Judge Chutkan's ruling in two courts simultaneously: the D.C. federal circuit court of appeals AND the US Supreme Court. Glenn says this podcast is a explainer, in layman's terms, of why Jack Smith is going with this legal belt-and-suspenders approach to litigating Trump's presidential immunity issue.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the event anyone thought Donald Trump's criminal defense attorneys would stop filing absurd court pleadings, here's the new headline from NBC News: "You're a mean one, Mr. Smith: Trump attorneys call special counsel the Grinch in court filing." Glenn says Trump's lawyers apparently think irreverence and insurrection go hand-in-hand. They're wrong. Then, A federal jury in Washington, DC returned a monetary award against Rudy Giuliani for $148 million for his vile, racist, defamatory lies against Georgia state election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman. Glenn says hopefully this will deter harassment of other election workers in the future.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a #TeamJustice patron at:https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerFor our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
