Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Judge Juan Merchan, the judge presiding over Donald Trump's New York State court case - in which a jury convicted Trump of 34 felony crimes - has again rejected Trump's attempt to derail the case by seeking Merchan's recusal.We are now one step closer to seeing Trump sentenced for his crimes.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Donald Trump repeatedly has pledged to pardon the insurrectionists who attacked the US Capitol on January 6th and assaulted 140 police officers in their attempt to stop the certification of Joe Biden's election win and keep Trump in office. Judge Royce Lamberth just sentenced J6 defendant David Dempsey to 20 years in prison for his crimes of violence against police officers on January 6th. Another defendant told a judge at his arraignment, "Trump is going to be in office in six months, so I have nothing to worry about."Glenn says: If you needed any additional inspiration to go to the polls on November 5th, here it is.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Donald Trump has filled notice that he intends to sue the Department of Justice for maliciously prosecuting him in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. Glenn discusses the procedural hurdles to suing the federal government under the Federal Tort Claims Act, and why this feels more like another Trump PR stunt that he will use to whip up support from his base and continue to grift money from his supporters.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Remember when Donald Trump urged Russia to hack U.S. computer systems to interfere in the 2016 presidential election? You know, when he said, “Hey Russia, if you’re listening, I urge you to find the 33,000 missing emails.”? Well, talk about your chickens coming home to roost - it looks like the Trump campaign was just hacked by foreign actors.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 asked for a rare delay in Donald Trump's DC prosecution for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. This development inspired speculation that Smith is now trying to delay the case or maybe that he's not up to the task of prosecuting Trump. This speculation is nonsense. Smith and his team have been going gangbusters after Trump and his criminal cabal. The reasons for the requested delay can be gleaned from the language Smith included in his motion to Judge Tanya Chutkan seeking the delay.As a career federal prosecutor, Glenn had the experience of struggling to get the higher-ups at the DOJ to make decisions that would allow him to move forward in his cases. He includes his experiences in that regard.Indeed, one of those experiences ended up as part of the 2019 movie "Georgetown" by Christoph Waltz.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

As CNN just reported, "Arizona Grand Jurors wanted to indict Trump, prosecutors urged them not to."The Grand Jury in Arizona made a choice to not indict Donald Trump just yet in their investigation of Donald Trump's plot to overturn the 2020 election results in their state. Glenn explains how the grand jury works and discusses the three likely reasons prosecutors would advise a grand jury against indicting someone they are investigating.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Vice President Kamala Harris has selected the perfect running mate for the this moment in our nation's history - Governor Tim Walz.Glenn gives five reasons why a Harris/Walz ticket is exactly what is needed to fight the battle for American democracy, and why they will defeat the hateful and divisive ticket of Trump/Vance.For tickets to Brian Tyler Cohen's August 14 book launch event:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/brian-ty...If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

As The Washington Post reported, "Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis agrees to cooperate in Arizona elector case."This development spells real trouble for her co-defendant Rudy Giuliani. But, it might be even more devastating for unindicted co-conspirator Donald Trump. Might Jenna Ellis' cooperation be the last piece of the evidentiary puzzle to fall into place, giving Arizona prosecutors enough to indict Trump?Glenn reviews the content, meaning, and implications of the 4-page cooperation agreement Ellis entered into with Arizona prosecutors to cooperate in the Arizona fake electors/election interference case.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Within 24 hours of having the Supreme Court return Donald Trump's DC criminal case to Judge Tanya Chutkan, she denies his motion to dismiss based on selective prosecution, AND highlights the ABSURDITY of Trump's argument and the complete lack of supporting evidence demonstrating he's being selectively prosecuted.Glenn discusses the legal test for proving selective prosecution and exposes why Trump's argument collapses under the weight of its own frivolity.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

President Joe Biden just proposed several critically necessary fixes for the corruption on the Supreme Court.

As Huffpost just reported, "Trump Tells Crowd, 'You Won't Have To Vote' Again After Election in Bizarre Remarks." However, there is nothing "bizarre" about these comments. Trump has ben signaling - consistently, expressly, and repeatedly - that he intends to be a "dictator," as he said, "on day one." Glenn discusses why we MUST take Trump at his word when he says Americans will not vote again if they vote him into office this November. We have to stop labeling Trump's pledges to end our democracy as "strange," "bizarre," and "unclear." Trump is telling us exactly what he intends to do. If we fail to vote against him on November 5th, we are sleepwalking toward the end of our republic.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his team of prosecutors have filed a lengthy opposition to Donald Trump's motion to dismiss his 34 felony convictions as a result of the Supreme Court's new presidential immunity ruling.Glenn discusses why Judge Juan Merchan is likely to reject Trump's motion to dismiss and proceed to sentencing on September 18th.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Donald Trump's longtime flunky, Steve Bannon, presently is serving a four-month prison term for defying congressional subpoenas in an effort to hide incriminating evidence about Donald Trump from the January 6th House select committee. Bannon was also federally indicted previously for conspiracy to defraud Trump supporters our of their money with a bogus "We Build The Wall" foundation. And Trump has such little regard for his supporters that he pardoned Bannon for those crimes. However, Bannon's scam also violated New York State law, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Bannon. Now, the New York judge presiding over Bannon's state case just set his trial date for December 9th, just over one month from the time Bannon will complete his federal prison term.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

As a former prosecutor and a former state attorney general, it's clear that Vice President Kamala Harris is the right person for the moment AND the right person to defeat her opponent Donald Trump.

In the case of Trump v. United States, the Supreme Court quite literally ruled that portions of our Constitution are unconstitutional. This is a gross abuse of judicial power by six Supreme Court justices.Kim Wehle is a law professor, a constitutional law and separation of powers expert, an ABC News legal analyst, a former federal prosecutor and the author of three books (links below), and a fourth book set to be released on September 2, that could not be more timely: "Pardon Power: How The Pardon System Works - And Why."In part 3 of Glenn's conversation with Kim, they discuss, among other topics, Senator Whitehouse's formal request of Attorney General Merrick Garland that Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito be criminals investigated, as well as the articles of impeachment that have been drafted for the same two justices.Link to Kim's website: kimberlywehle.comTo pre-order Pardon Power: How The Pardon System Works―And WhyReleased date - September 2, 2024https://a.co/d/6iiAxBKKimm's. other books:How to Read the Constitution--and Whyhttps://a.co/d/4DKz18oWhat You Need to Know About Voting--and Whyhttps://a.co/d/78V2EJCHow to Think Like a Lawyer--and Why: A Common-Sense Guide to Everyday Dilemmashttps://a.co/d/gv1ab88If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  And my website at glennkirschner.comFollow me on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter:   / glennkirschner2  Facebook:   / glennkirschner2  Instagram:   / glennkirschner2  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Supreme Court has, in substance, converted American democracy into a monarchy. The court's holding in Trump v. United States enables a president to direct his attorney general to detain the president's political enemies without charges, without evidence, and without due process, and then pardon his attorney general for the crimes he committed at the president's direction. This destruction of the constitution moves American government in the direction of a banana republic.

President Joe Biden made the historic decision to step aside and pass the leadership torch to the younger generation. In the event Vice President Kamala Harris becomes the nominee of the Democratic Party, the election will, in a very real sense, pit a former prosecutor against a current criminal defendant. Glenn says he likes the prosecutor's odds in this fight for the future of American democracy.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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 a strange twist of events, Hunter Biden's attorneys have filed motions to dismiss his cases, citing as authority the recent ruling of Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon declaring that special counsel can not lawfully be used to prosecute cases.

As Rolling Stone just reported, "Trump's RNC Hosts a Rowdy Celebration of Lawlessness and Crime." From Peter Navarro to Rudy Giuliani to the many criminally indicted fake electors who are attending, the RNC convention is a lawlessness-jamboree, a defendant-palooza. But there is one way to stop our government from morphing into one big criminal enterprise.

Political violence is never the answer to our nation's problems, disagreements, and divisions. Political violence was wrong when Donald Trump perpetrated it on January 6th, and it was wrong when it was perpetrated against him at his rally in Pennsylvania. There is no answer yet as to why a registered Republican decided to arm himself with an assault rifle and do what he did. But one thing is clear - if we don't do better, then things will only get worse. Then, Glenn talks about Rudy Giuliani. Within days of losing a massive money judgment for lying about and defaming Georgia state election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, Rudy Giuliani tried to hold off having his assets seized by filing for bankruptcy. However, he couldn't even do bankruptcy right. The presiding judge has dismissed his bankruptcy case, stating, "the lack of financial transparency (by Giuliani) is particularly troubling given concerns that Mr. Giuliani has engaged in self-dealing and that he has potential conflicts of interest that would hamper the administration of his bankruptcy case". With the dismissal of Rudy's bankruptcy case, Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman can now use all legal mechanisms to collect the $148 million he owes them, including seizing his assets.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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 New York Times Editorial Board has published a piece detailing why Donald Trump is unfit to retake the reigns of federal power and why he poses an extreme danger to American Democracy. The piece is broken down into five parts: "Moral Fitness Matters", "Principled Leadership Matters", "Character Matters", "A President's Words Matters," and "The Rule of Law Matters". Or, put another way Justice Matters. Glenn does a deep dive into this new opinion piece and discusses the opportunity the American people have to serve as the final jury that will sit in judgment of Donald Trump.Here is the link to the article: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/07/11/opinion/editorials/donald-trump-2024-unfitIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

After long-enduring obvious corruption, conflicts, abuses and potential crimes by Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, members of Congress are finally trying to do something about it. Senators Whitehouse and Wyden have formally requested that Attorney General Merrick Garland appoint a special counsel to criminally investigate Thomas and Alito for potentially violating federal financial disclosure laws, tax laws, false statements laws, etc.In another breaking legal development, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced articles of impeachment for Thomas and Alito for their alleged crimes and abuses.Glenn reviews the new reporting on these and other related issues and argues that these actions are an important first step to address the rot at the top of the Judicial branch of governmentIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...

In new reporting by Hugo Lowell of the Guardian, it turns out, "Trump plans to block Hearings in January 6 case before 2024 election." It's no surprise that Donald Trump desperately wants to stop the dozens of Republican witnesses who testified about his crimes to the DC grand jury - from testifying publicly at the hearings Judge Tanya Chutkan will hold now that the Supreme Court is returning the case to her. Glenn reviews why Trump and his lawyers will fail in their attempts to stop these hearings from being conducted prior to the November election.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon continues to wear her Trump favoritism on her sleeve. A number of motions filed by Jack Smith have languished, remaining unresolved for months. As but one example, back in May, Smith filed a motion asking Judge Cannon to modify Trump's conditions of release to stop him from lying about and endangering FBI agents. Cannon has sat on that motion. However, Trump filed a motion asking Cannon to stay or pause a number of deadlines in his Florida case while he briefs-up issues regarding presidential immunity. Judge Cannon acted on Trump's motion IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS, ruling in his favor and giving him precisely what he wants. As has long been the case, Cannon's "impartiality might reasonably be questioned," which is the federal legal standard requiring her disqualification from the case. But, of course, she will ignore the federal law and continue to preside over the prosecution of the very defendant who gave her her lifetime appointment to the federal bench.

The Supreme Court didn't JUST rule that presidents have absolute presidential immunity. They actually ruled that presidents have absolute presidential immunity PLUS.Constitutional scholars left, right, and center are excoriating the new Supreme Court opinion that 1. contradicts the expressed language of our constitution, 2. actually repeals portions of our constitution, and, in essence, 3. declares the constitution is unconstitutional. Yes, that is illogical, but that is precisely what Chief Justice Roberts and the radical right-wing block of justices did in Trump vs. United States.This ruling gives Donald Trump a blueprint to convert America into a banana republic. And Donald Trump is exactly the kind of day-one-dictator who will do it. This ruling not only excuses lawless conduct by a corrupt president, it endorses such conduct, and thereby encourages future presidents to act lawlessly and to direct others to to the same then simply exercise his core constitutional power of the presidential pardon to pardon all of his criminal associates who carry out his unlawful commands. This is not just absolute presidential power. It is absolute presidential power PLUS. And like Dred Scott, Korematsu, and Plessy vs. Ferguson, this opinion must not stand.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Just days after his right-wing Supreme Court justices gave him presidential immunity, Donald Trump has endorsed a military tribunal prosecution for former Congresswoman Liz Cheney. Presumably, the Supreme Court will have Trump's back on that crime as well. Now that the Supreme Court has converted the lawless into the lawful, and given that Trump made clear he will use military tribunals to prosecute his enemies (by falsely labeling them enemies of American democracy), how should President Joe Biden respond and what should he do with the new powers the Supreme Court just created and bestowed on him and all future American presidents?If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

By granting Donald Trump immunity for the crimes he committed against the American people; the radical, right-wing block of the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, actually encourages presidents to commit crimes.Eventually, this Supreme Court opinion will go the way of Dred Scott vs. Sanford, and Plessy vs. Ferguson - it will be reversed and will go down in American history as an opinion that sought to destroy honest and honorable governing, and accountability for crimes a president commits against the American people.But given that the opinion is in effect at the moment, President Joe Biden needs to exercise the powers the Supreme Court has given him to hold treasonous actors accountable and protect American democracy from the likes of Donald Trump and those who support his efforts to destroy American democracy.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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 Supreme Court just can't quit Donald Trump. Interestingly, the Supreme Court does nothing to help Trump's criminal flunkies: Steve Bannon just reported to prison; Peter Navarro is serving a prison term; and Rudy Giuliani was just disbarred in New York and is facing multiple criminal prosecutions. Yet the Supreme Court just bestowed absolute presidential immunity on presidents, unleashing them to commit crimes against the American people with impunity and immunity. In a very real sense, the Court gave Trump a blueprint for totalitarianism.Glenn reviews the democracy-ending implications of this new Supreme Court ruling. Like Dread Scott and Plessy vs. Ferguson, this new Supreme Court ruling must not be allowed to stand.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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 an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court disregards the plain language of a law by which Congress criminalized conduct that "obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding." Roberts and the majority then delivers a gift to Donald Trump and several dozen of his insurrectionists. Importantly, in a dissenting opinion, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by justices Kagan and Sotomayor, call Roberts and the majority out for their flawed analysis, saying it "is like using a hammer to pound in a screw - it looks like it might work, but using it botches the job." She further exposes the majority for "failing to respect the prerogatives" of Congress and the Executive branch. Glenn discusses why this Supreme Court opinion is an inappropriate windfall to Trump and some of his fellow insurrectionists.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

July 1, 2024, is a dark day in American history. A captured, right-wing Supreme Court granted immunity to Donald Trump for the crimes he committed against the American people - crimes he committed to unlawfully and unconstitutionally retain the power of the presidency after losing the 2020 election.Now, the American people are left to be the jurors - and we will declare Trump guilty at the ballot box come Nov. 5.Glenn reviews the Supreme Court decision, a powerful dissent by Justice Sotomayor joined by justices Karan and Jackson, and talks about the silver lining that is STILL out there.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon is unfit to preside over Donald Trump's criminal case in Florida. In a new piece for MSNBC - Glenn explains some of the data points that prove Judge Cannon's "impartiality might reasonably be questioned," such that the federal law mandates that she "shall disqualify herself form the case."As if to prove the point, The New York Times has reported that Judge Cannon "will revisit key ruling finding in Trump classified documents case."Special Counsel must file and litigate a motion to remove Cannon from presiding over Trump's Florida prosecution.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Another of Donald Trump's criminal flunkies - Steve Bannon - is now headed to prison on July 1st, given the Supreme Court has rejected his request to delay the commencement of his 4-month prison term. Bannon was convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress for defying congressional subpoenas to testify and to provide documents about the January 6th attack on the US Capitol which was designed to keep Trump in power after he lost the 2020 presidential election. Another criminal Trump flunky, Peter Navarro, was also ordered to serve a 4-month prison term for committing the same crimes Bannon committed. But this may end up being the first of multiple prison terms for Bannon. He is pending trial in New York State court for defrauding Trump supporters out of their money with a fictitious "We Build The Wall" foundation. Recall, Bannon was indicted federally for the same fraudulent scheme, but Trump pardoned him right before he left office. .If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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 Jaun Merchan modified the gag order he had placed on Donald Trump. The gag order no longer prohibits Trump from talking about witnesses and jurors in his case. However, it remains in effect to protect court staff, prosecutors and their staff, and their respective family members. Needless to say, it's concerning that the witnesses and jurors are now unprotected from Trump's reckless, dangerous, and often violence-inducing rhetoric. However, there is a silver lining. And it will come on July 11th when Judge Merchan sentences Trump for his 34 felony convictions for falsifying business records to try to steal the 2016 presidential election.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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 Aileen Cannon continues to give defendant Donald Trump - the very person who gave her her lifetime appointment as a federal judge - the delay he so covets. She continues to litigate frivolous motions that are forever being filed by Trump's attorneys, in an apparent attempt to delay Trump's federal prosecution in Florida as long as she can.Glenn discusses how judges nearly always set trial dates as a way to set intermediate deadlines for motions to be litigated and resolved: no trial date, no intermediate deadlines. It is becoming painfully obvious that delay IS the point of Judge Cannon's refusal to set a trial date.Glenn also discusses the fact that the normal practice in federal criminal cases is for judges to quickly and summarily deny motions without hearings when the defense can't meet its "burden of production" - the required showing that there is evidence and law supporting the motion they are filing.Judge Cannon continues to prove that her "impartiality might reasonably be questioned" - which is the legal standard for a judge being required to leave the case - in favor of having a fair, independent, and impartial judge to preside over the case. Glenn takes on the seemingly unending stream of Cannon's shenanigans.To learn more about Team Justice editor extraordinaire Peter Sobyplease visit him at Petersoby.comand on Instagram @donutspiritand on Twitter/X @PeterSobyIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

During an interview with Donald Trump for his biography called "Apprentice in Wonderland", he stated that comedian Joan Rivers voted for him in 2016, because "that's what she said". The problem is, Ms. Rivers passed away in 2014. Donald Trump is a liar, a conman, a grifter, a rapist, and a cheat. According to Glenn, given the number of voters (including self-described Trump supporters) who have peeled away from Trump since January 6th, 2021, President Joe Biden's margin of victory in the upcoming election may just end up being twice what it was in 2020.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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 another motion imploring Judge Aileen Cannon to modify Donald Trump's conditions of release to impose a gag order to protect law enforcement agents from Trump's continued lies and violence-inducing rhetoric.

Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Canon held an all-day hearing on a largely frivolous issue raised by Donald Trump's attorneys. At the end of the hearing, instead of ruling on the motion, Judge Cannon ordered supplemental briefs to be filed, injecting further unnecessary delay into the case. And Cannon has steadfastly refused to set a trial date. On the eve of Friday's motions, The New York Times published a blockbuster revelation, "Judge in Trump Documents Case Rejected Suggestions to Step Aside." Glenn discusses the implications of Cannon's refusal to recuse herself from Trump's case and the ongoing concern regarding her lack of impartiality.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Donald Trump's lawyers keep getting indicted. Two of his former lawyers, Boris Epshteyn and Jenna Ellis just pleaded not guilty to nine felony charges in Arizona state court involving, in substance, crimes they are alleged to have committed to try to help Donald Trump steal the 2020 presidential election.Glenn answers the question: why did Jenna Ellis plead not guilty when she already pleaded guilty in the Georgia state RICO case and agreed to cooperate against Trump and the other co-conspirators?Glenn also takes on the larger question of what will happen to the six unindicted co-conspirators in Trump's federal prosecution in DC, once the Supreme Court decides the absolute presidential immunity question and returns the case to Judge Tanya Chutkan for further proceedings.Here is the link to the democracy-saving work of Marc Elias and the Democracy Docket: https://www.democracydocket.com/If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Every single judge (trial court judges, appellate court judges, state court judges, and federal court judges) who has ruled on the various gag orders placed on defendant Donald Trump, has ruled that the orders were appropriate, lawful, and constitutional. Indeed, New York's highest court has refused to take up Trump's appeal on the gag order issue. But alas, Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon is about to step to the plate and take a swing at the narrow gag order Special Counsel Jack Smith has requested in Trump's Florida prosecution. On another important front, a retired judge who served on the federal bench for 27 years, just gave an interview to NPR and opined that Judge Cannon has shown "favoritism" toward defendant Trump and antagonism toward the prosecutors in the case.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

As a recent USA Today article makes clear: "As a convicted felon, Trump isn't fit to lead America's military as Commander in Chief". Convicted felons are generally not permitted to serve in the armed forces of the United States. It would be an absurdity, not to mention dangerous to the safety of our troops, if a convicted felon were allowed to be the Commander in Chief of America's armed forces. As someone who served more than six years on active duty with the US Army, as all soldiers, Glenn was required to abide by the laws, rules, and well-defined standards of conduct. Glenn reviews just a few of those standards as articulated in the Amy Officer's Guide to see how Trumps stacks up.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Here we go again. We've seen this exact nightmare movie before: Donald Trump signaling that he won't accept an election loss and refusing to rule out violence to get whatever he wants. It's like democracy is sitting there - stuck on the tracks and Trump is the dangerous, out-of-control train that refuses to stop. There is a way to derail the Trump train before we see a repeat of the January 6th, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol. But we need to work together.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

It defies comprehension that the person who incited an attack on the United States Capitol building and everyone who was in it on January 6, 2021, performing their constitutional duty of certifying the results of a presidential election, would have the temerity to return to the scene of his crime in hopes that he could regain the reigns of governmental power.What's worse, congressional Republicans bowed-down to Trump, in their cowardly and unpatriotic determination to get themselves reelected. One of the questions that will haunt our nation for generations to come is: how can there only be two congressional Republicans - Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger - who care more about the health and viability of American democracy than they care about their own reelection prospects? Glenn also asks - when will these OTHER congressional criminals get charged for their part in the January 6th conspiracy?If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Donald Trump is claiming that the Department of Justice is being weaponized against Republicans. Glenn says the trial and guilty verdict of Hunter Biden proves otherwise. Note the recent CNN headline: "Hunter Biden conviction shatters Trump's persecution narrative." The way the Republicans and the Democrats have reacted to the Hunter Biden conviction and the Donald Trump conviction tells people everything they need to know about which party respects the rule of law and which party does not. It's a cult and Republicans think they have no choice .Tell them they do.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Last week, Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felony crimes that he committed to try to gain unfair advantage in a presidential election. Throughout the pre-trial proceedings and the trial itself, Trump and his lackeys in Congress endlessly yammered about the trial being a witch hunt. Trump threatened and endangered everyone who was involved in the endeavor of holding him accountable for his crimes: witnesses, jurors, prosecutors and judges.In stark contrast to Trump's reckless and dangerous behavior, the Hunter Biden case involved NO threats or intimidation of witnesses, jurors, prosecutors or judges, no cries of which hunt, no efforts to undermine the public's perception of the legitimacy of the criminal justice system.These differences tell you all you need to know about who respects the rule of law and who does not.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Donald Trump sat for an interview with a New York probation officer who will prepare a pre-sentencing report to be used by Judge Juan Merchan in connection with Trump's sentencing.However, if we care about preserving free and fair American elections and deterring others from committing the crimes Trump committed - falsifying business records to gain unfair advantage in a presidential election - than Judge Merchan MUST sentence Trump to a period of incarceration rather than just probation. Glenn discusses the accepted principles of sentencing in our criminal just system and why a term of incarceration is necessary for Trump's crimes.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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 contrast between Donald Trump and President Joe Biden as far as the rule-of-law could not be more stark. As a HuffPost headline announces, "Trump Says Revenge 'Can Be Justified' In Latest Threat To Political Enemies." Contrary to Trump, President Biden has chosen the rule of law by declaring he will not pardon his son Hunter Biden in the event of a conviction, but rather, will accept and respect the jury's verdict. There is one important decision President Biden made early in his presidency: to leave in place a Republican, Trump-appointed US Attorney, David Weiss, who was conducting the investigation of his son Hunter. This shows the true measure of the man - President Biden did not want to be perceived as interfering with an ongoing investigation of his son, even though, as president, he had every right to nominate his preferred US Attorney for Delaware.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.

Accountability has finally come for Steve Bannon for his two contempt of Congress convictions. A jury convicted Bannon nearly two years ago, but Trump-appointed Judge Carl Nichols allowed Bannon to remain free pending appeal, contrary to the presumption in the law that a sentence is to be served while a defendant appeals his or her conviction. After a federal appeals court rejected Bannon's appeal and affirmed this conviction, Judge Nichols reversed course and ordered Bannon to report to the Federal Bureau of Prisons by July 1, 2024, to begin serving his 4-month sentence.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow 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.
