Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Legal professional Jack Smith discusses Judge Cannon's favoritism towards Trump by quickly granting his motion while delaying Smith's motions for months. The podcast also examines the fallout from the Supreme Court's immunity decision and criticizes Judge Cannon's handling of the case, including Trump's lawyers' unorthodox court filing.

The podcast discusses the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, highlighting how it could give Donald Trump a blueprint to convert America into a banana republic. It explores how the ruling contradicts the constitution and endorses lawless conduct by a corrupt president.

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.

Supreme Court grants absolute immunity to presidents, but Trump's associates face consequences. Rudy Giuliani disbarred for spreading election lies. Analysis of implications for democracy and the role of citizens in holding Trump accountable through voting.

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.

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.
