    I generally don’t agree with broad statements about all lawyers being thrown into the sun because it’s important for even guilty seeming people to have fair representation… but his lawyers absolutely should be thrown into the sun.

      I mean, to play devil’s advocate, it’s their job. He’s their client, they’re supposed to work in their client’s best interest, and as long as they’re not breaking any laws to do it, they’re doing what they’re being paid to do.

      I think it more comes down to the judge needing to put a stop to the bad-faith arguments; if the judge is accepting them, why wouldn’t they keep making them?

        Yea, okay, we can hold off on our coronal mass injection cannon for now - but if those fucks break any laws trying to intimidate jurors or bribing officials… well, I’ll keep the cannon spun up in my garage.

        I, specifically, want Trump to gain no special benefits or privileges based on him being Trump or wealthy - he’s gotten far too many gifts already.

          no special benefits or privileges based on him being […] wealthy

          That’s unfortunately simply not the world we live in.
