4/ Another motion argues case should be on Constitutional grounds. His defense argues he cannot be prosecuted for a case in which he was already subject to an impeachment trial. He's making a form of a "double jeopardy" argument

The double jeopardy claim would seem to run counter to the defenses of Trump's allies in 2021, who said impeachment was an improper remedy to Trump’s alleged misconduct, but that it should instead be decided by a criminal court.
Trump's selective prosecution argument

Good morning to everyone except the Republicans that are keeping the USA Congress leaderless while our foreign adversaries are working to undermine our national security.

As chaos continues in the House Speaker race, we cannot overlook the threats of violence Republicans faced from members of their own party.

MAGA Republicans are falling further into the depths of fascism. Their extremist ideology is a danger to our Republic and our democracy.

Hopefully though at least Gym is out for good.

Seven of the nine #GOP Speaker candidates voted to overturn the 2020 election results after the January 6 Capitol attack.

@AlliFlowers Quite a few folks have built their own church of prejudices, a dual-use building also serving as their personal mental jail.

@AlliFlowers Yeah, why would Biden not issue a comment on Hamas & "Islamic Jihad" bombing Palestinian hospitals & schools per misfires, then cowardly accusing Israel of having done it?

@AlliFlowers Reminder, that Florida was part of the defeated Confederacy, now mobilizing to reintroduce segregation-like bans of efforts to promote diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI).

As does Texan insurrectionary fellow-Confederate Abbott's regime, absurdly arguing DEI itself would produce discrimination (against "whites" speculatively).

Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce.

That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful.

@marcelias American Bar Association: Founded in 1878.

Federalist Society: Founded in 1982.

Federalist Society's ex-(vice) president Leonard Leo put 5 of 6 biased con-servative/illiberal majority justices on the bench.
Time to regulate & contain the partisan influence of Leonard Leo & the Federalist Society, for the sake of Americans' democracy, human & civil rights.
