No. of Recommendations: 12
Well, looks like I should have checked for a door number 3.
The Manhattan DA's office chose to ask for more time to consider the impact of the election on the proceeding. And of course Trump agreed. So it's all off for a week, with responses to the question of how the election impacts things due from both sides by Nov 19. No word on if the judge will issue his ruling on presidential immunity that day or delay it until later. And no word on the sentencing, which is still scheduled for Nov 26.
As a non-lawyer and citizen, it annoys me that the judge is putting off his ruling. I don't see how the election could have any impact on this ruling. Make your ruling and then toss that into the pile of things the parties need to respond to regarding the election.
It's often been said that justice delayed is justice denied. Justice is certainly being denied here.
