Eastman relayed in previously undisclosed email that he had awareness of a debate among SCOTUS judges about whether to listen to an election case.
Another Trump lawyer, Ken Chesebro, suggested the justices may be more inclined to weigh in if they had “fear” of “‘wild’ chaos” on Jan 6. He said it five days after Trump’s “wild” tweet about his Jan 6 rally.
The emails are among a tranche the House select committee has, according to people familiar with their work.
It’s unclear what, if anything, Eastman was basing his claims on. Equally striking is Chesebro’s statement about pressuring the justices to agree to hear a case for fear of “wild” chaos on Jan. 6.
“I don’t have the personal insight that John has into the four justices likely to be most upset about what is happening in the various states, who might want to intervene, so I should make it clear that I don’t discount John’s estimate,” Chesebro wrote.
The email exchange took place on Christmas Eve in 2020, five days after Trump’s “Be there. Will be wild!” tweet.
Chesebro email is in some ways more striking, as it’s unclear whether Eastman actually had information, while Chesebro openly described wanting to create a certain climate by which the justices would act.
…provided the committee with crucial evidence about the role played by Mr. Eastman, who conceded during an email exchange with Mr. Jacob that his plan to overturn the election was in “violation” of federal law.’ No wonder Eastman was advised to get a good lawyer.

But Kavanaugh……

reason.

But wdmso clearly implied trump “has destroyed” our democracy in some ways.

wow you can't see How ? I am shocked

Yet you can see Brett almost got assassinated ?


FYI hearing no evil and speaking no evil and seeing no evil isn't an insult its the current position of the GOP and most of their supporters

you still won’t specify and pillars of mouse democracy that no longer exist thanks to him. i can only assume
you can’t think of any to list.

the guy at Kavanaughs house got charged with attempted
murder, which is not a charge they ( especially with democrats in charge) apply lightly.

stocks dropping, mortgage rates soaring, housing prices have to drop, almost nothing the north in power. an feel
good about at this point.

who do you think the democrats will run in 2024? that’s a sincere question.

Here’s an example for you

New Mexico’s Supreme Court orders county commission to certify vote
The order follows the commission’s refusal to approve primary vote tallies, citing discredited concerns about Dominion machines

This was all promoted and fueled by Donald trumps lies and direct attacks on the legitimacy or nations election system


they refused, citing unsubstantiated concerns about fraud.

Imagine that.


In 2024 I have no clue . I know Harris is a no so is Biden

But just like Republican primaries the far left might pick on who the agree with. Not who can win a general election

Imagine if joe manchin ran that would be interesting

so what part of democracy got destroyed? the court stepped up
and did what they’re supposed to do.

so you actually provided an example of our democracy working exactly as it’s supposed to. checks and balances works. it worked before trump, and per your example, still working.

our democracy works.

We are finding out just how close it came to not working, and now new evidence is breaking every single day now. Suddenly a lot of people want to come out and tell the truth.

This is the end of the beginning.
Now comes the collapse, and it will come faster than people think.
Everything Trump touched will die.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

You just can't see the bigger Picture can you


Do you Drive your car into a wall at 100MPH So you can provide an example of that seat belts an an Air Bags are working exactly as it’s supposed to?


Days after he mounted a failed attempt to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 election, attorney John Eastman asked Rudy Giuliani to help him get on Donald Trump’s list for a presidential pardon, according to an email revealed by the Jan. 6 select committee on Thursday.

“I’ve decided that I should be on the pardon list, if that is still in the works,” Eastman wrote to Giuliani in the email.


Courts should not be involved in elections ... But they should be involved with people trying to steal an election ..
