    I’m not going to pretend that if I were facing jail time and my lawyer said “this is another legal thing that can be done in the hopes of avoiding jail time” that I would say “I broke the law, I should just go to jail and serve my time.” I’d probably do the thing my lawyer said was an option.

      So you’re cool with all of trump’s delay tactics and legal loophole bullshit then?

      This is a waste of money time and resources. It’s trying up a court system. He broke a law. He is guilty. He goes to fucking jail.

          He’s guilty. That’s not up for debate. At this point, it’s just fucking around with the legal system. No one should be entitled to that- It’s not an entitlement. It’s an abuse of the legal system and a waste of money.

          No amount of repositioning the argument changes the fact that he broke a fucking law.

          Period.

            How did he break the law? This case has been set from the start that it is going to be used to drive gun restriction change. Either A, the form is unconstitutional, or B. It isn’t and gun restriction is completely legal.
