The United States Supreme Court has decided to keep President-elect Donald Trump’s legal woes on center stage by denying his request to pause his sentencing hearing in the New York Business Records case. The timing couldn’t be more comical, as it emphasizes how far the left will go to relentlessly pursue their vendetta against Trump.
In a case orchestrated by the ever-political New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Trump was found guilty of supposedly falsifying business records. This stemmed from labeling payments to his attorney Michael Cohen as business expenses instead of campaign expenses. Bragg’s grand theory suggests this was all an elaborate scheme to influence the 2016 presidential election. Of course, a good chunk of the public might consider this legal gymnastics just another episode in the ongoing reality show that is the Trump saga.

Following the verdict, New York County Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan set a sentencing date for Trump on January 10 at 9:30 a.m. This could be peak “trial by media” time, and although Merchan is unlikely to send Trump to jail, the spectacle is astonishing nonetheless. The fact that this trial managed to unfold in the first place shows how keen Democrats are to weaponize the justice system against their political opponents, creating a reality where legal procedure resembles more of a political theater.
When the Supreme Court dismissed Trump’s petition to halt the upcoming sentencing, it was nothing short of a betrayal for many conservatives. Justices Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts, typically seen as pillars of the conservative judiciary, found themselves siding with the liberal justices. This rather ironic alliance highlights the rickety bridge of judicial interpretation in cases that smell distinctly of partisan witch hunts.
Legal experts and conservative commentators were left shaking their heads. They contend that Bragg’s pursuit of Trump’s case represents a serious constitutional overreach, and Judge Merchan’s errors throughout the trial could be grounds for appeal. Many believe this perceived injustice could eventually find its way back to the Supreme Court, with hopes that the final verdict might ultimately vindicate Trump. One can only imagine how much entertainment it will provide to see how these legal battles unfold in the months ahead. By the time his second term rolls around, if there is any justice, Trump might emerge from this circus smelling like a rose, while his opponents wallow in their failure.
