impartial

#AldinRoss made no effort to sound or appear #impartial. His questions set up #Trump to complain about everything from supposed liberal bias in schools —"Even the teachers have been brainwashed” Trump said — & border security (tho, unusually, Trump did not mention Hannibal Lecter). Trump…praised Ross as an “outstanding" young man, predicted that the livestream would break viewership records…

…Chief Justice #JohnRoberts often sounds more like #Trump’s lawyer than the #impartial judge he presents himself as. Roberts writes that “w/respect to the President’s exercise of his core constitutional powers, this #immunity must be absolute.” If that applies …to a sitting president manufacturing a scheme to avoid relinquishing #power after losing an #election, then there is no #legal constraint on a president simply refusing to leave office & using his authority to find a pretext for doing so.

Prosecutors’ new filing states #Trump’s #delay motion was littered w/ inaccuracies & matters already rejected by the judge. They also expressed doubts about the reliability of the data from Trump’s team.

“None of the new information presented by defendant supports his request for an adjournment; indeed, much of the new data actually confirms that this Court will be able to find 12 #impartial #jurors (& alternates) in Manhattan,” Colangelo wrote.
