Steven Calabresi: “President Donald Trump's Manhattan Convictions are Unconstitutional: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleged that the documents were allegedly falsely altered to conceal a contribution of money in violation of federal campaign finance laws or in pursuance of winning the 2016 election by defrauding the voters of information they had a right to know. Neither argument passes First Amendment scrutiny. The federal campaign finance laws were partially upheld in Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1 (1976)….

Steven Calabresi: “President Donald Trump's Manhattan Convictions are Unconstitutional. The Roman Republic fell when politicians began criminalizing politics. I am gravely worried that we are seeing that pattern repeat itself in the present day United States.”

“In many respects, our entire constitutional republic is on trial. We're facing very dark times in the future of the American Republic.” https://www.DonaldJTrump.com

He said that this is much bigger than him. This isn't just about him. This isn't just about his presidency. This is about the Constitution. And that's really how we feel about this case, that this isn't just about the actual defendant in the dock. In many respects, our entire constitutional republic is on trial when you have this leftist weaponization of the courts, when you have this unprecedented campaign of lawfare and election interference being waged against President Trump. We're facing very dark times in terms of just the future of the American republic.

You know, I'm going to tell you something, Sean. I've spent most of my legal career, not as a former federal prosecutor, although I served as a chief of staff to an attorney general, I've spent most of my legal career fighting these people, suing the federal government, the DOJ, the IRS, the Treasury Department, the EPA, suing campaigns, fighting over voting rights laws and so forth. And one thing I don't think our audience understands, and you need to understand, we have too many lawyers who are risk averse, too many lawyers who will whine and complain. I have spent 40 years sitting down with people who put on legal brass knuckles and take these bastards on in court. I'm at the appellate and Supreme Court level. That's where my focus has been my entire career. So what they need to do now, in my view, is to go up the appellate chain in New York. We need to stop whining about how long that's going to take, seek any emergency, immediate appeal that you possibly can. That's one lane. And the other lane is to try like hell to get to the Supreme Court. People say, well, they're not going to take it. You know what? If George Patton was said, I don't think I can get to the Battle of the Bulge in time, we would have lost World War II. I am sick and tired of these legal defeatists. We need to stop whining, stop complaining. We know what the hell we're up against. It's not news. It's a fact. We got to fight these people with our smarts. We have to take some risks. We need to push the edge of the envelope. I don't mean in a way that that kooks do it. We need to look at Bush versus Gore. Why did the Supreme Court take that case from the Florida Supreme Court? We need to look at things like common law rifts, which I know the audience don't understand, but a lot of lawyers do. Not rifts of certiori based on statute, but common law rifts based on judicial decisions. We need to give the Supreme Court the opportunity to fix this. Why? We cannot have local acting judges, Soros DAs, 15,000 district attorney's office, God knows how many state judges, destroying our federal election system, influencing how we elect the President of the United States. And if we have a pathway to bring it to the Supreme Court, even though it's rarely used and by God, we use it, we use every legal quiver that we possibly can muster rather than sitting around and saying, well, it'll take three months. Fine. Follow that. Preserve the state appellate system. And as for this idea that I have a faith in the system, what is a judge? He's flesh and blood. He's a person. He's a lawyer who happens to have a role. If the judge doesn't respect the rule of law, why the hell should I respect the judge? If the prosecutor doesn't respect the law rule of law, why the hell should I respect the prosecutor? So far, the judicial system so far has let down the American people and the Supreme Court needs to step up. This is a federal matter, a presidential matter, and it's going to go worse before it gets better.
