 Activist spaceshot Judge Arthur Engoron
If juries get it wrong, I can overrule them based on my emotions about the case

Link to Quote: Activist Judge in Trump trial says he can overrule a jury based on “my own emotions” : r/walkaway (reddit.com)

As everyone should know, former President Donald Trump is running for president and is ahead both in primary polls as well as some polls vs Joe Biden. His campaign is constantly interrupted by trials going on just about everywhere. All of this was orchestrated by his opponents on the left who have become experts at interfering with elections. What is really shocking involves one of the ridiculous cases playing out in New York City. There we have a very unique judge, who blatantly says he can overrule juries based upon his emotions.

I want everyone to take a good look at him:



Aside from him being the goofiest thing you'd ever expect to see, this would indicate that the standards for being a judge in New York must be very low. He was very proud of his anti-Vietnam War activism in his youth. He also bragged about speeding and getting away with it as a cab driver. As the trial began the other day, he gave the camera a big smile. He is enforcing a law that has never been used against a businessman in New York. This is the fulfillment of a promise made by Letitia James to "get Trump."

Rational people are seeing this for what it is. The radicals on the left seem to think everyone is stupid.

We shall see.

James filed suit against Trump in September, following a three-year investigation into whether he and his company manipulated property values to obtain investments and tax and loan benefits.

That was the collusion hoax that was hatched by the Clinton campaign, with help from the FBI, DOJ, CIA and the msm. The very one that got a 22-month special counsel investigation that knew from day 1 that there was no collusion yet waited for a democrat House majority to hand in a report saying we have nothing, and we can't do anything because of DOJ policy. We had two members stop posting here when the final report was released.

Odd that none of this started until after he beat the Democrats at their own game.

These charges have nothing to do with democrats playing politics.

And Biden can speak coherently.

Trump is running for president so he can pardon himself.

There has to be a conviction for a pardon.  So far, despite the lefts pathetic attempts (fictional accusations, indictments, stacked courts, frivolous civil suits), there have been no convictions to pardon.

There has to be a conviction for a pardon.

Actually no, a pardon can be issued at any time.  Case in point when Ford pardoned Nixon.

A federal pardon can be issued prior to the start of a legal case or inquiry, prior to any indictments being issued, for unspecified offenses, and prior to or after a conviction for a federal crime.  Federal pardons in the United States - Wikipedia

But what a constitutional can of worms a pardon in this case would bring...   oy!!!

Let me straighten this misperception out. His trials are constantly interrupted by his campaign, which he began earlier than almost any candidate ever has in order to lay groundwork for the claim that the justice system was engaging in election interference. Using this ridiculous line of reasoning , as long as he keeps campaigning for something no one can ever prosecute him without it being unfair. He can run for president, for four years at a time, for the rest of his life and under that logic he should be home free and clear.

It was widely anticipated by people from all political persuasions that sometime in the relatively near future Trump would be indicted for multiple crimes. And I'm talking about since he left the White House. 

So why is he running for president?  And if he feels he has to run why didnt he wait until all his legal problems were resolved to announce his candidacy. With speedy trials he would have been done by next spring, more than enough time to get the nomination if the party really wanted him. He announced his formal candidacy in 2022, two years before the election , solely to try and ward off prosecutions. 

Fuck him and his whining now.

If juries get it wrong, I can overrule them based on my emotions about the case

Spoken like a true Marxist Commie. Arthur Engoron apparently has never understood or appreciated the words enshrined on the US Supreme Court building:

Equal justice under law  is a phrase engraved on the West Pediment, above the front entrance of the  United States Supreme Court building  in  Washington D.C.  It is also a societal ideal that has influenced  the American legal system .

The phrase was proposed by the building's architects, and then approved by judges of the Court in 1932. It is based upon  Fourteenth Amendment  jurisprudence, and has historical antecedents dating back to  ancient Greece .

The words "equal justice under law" paraphrase an earlier expression coined in 1891 by the Supreme Court. [7] [8]  In the case of  Caldwell v. Texas , Chief Justice  Melville Fuller  wrote on behalf of a unanimous Court as follows, regarding the  Fourteenth Amendment : "the powers of the States in dealing with crime within their borders are not limited, but no State can deprive particular persons or classes of persons of equal and impartial justice under the law." [9]  The last seven words are summarized by the inscription on the U.S. Supreme Court building. [7]

The judge used the word emotions instead of the word judgment .   I disagree with a judge taking action based on their emotions , but am not against a judge having the right to take actions based on their judgment .   No way to ask the judge if he meant judgment / legal-opinion rather than emotions but we do have more than that one word to consider.   Given he is a judge and recognizes the importance of being an " impartial referee ", it seems likely that he does not believe that judges should operate (literally) on emotion .

Here is the relevant portion of the transcript of the seed video:

Juries get it wrong a lot.  That's my own opinion.  I do only civil trials personal injury cases, contract disputes but I've had situations where like Oh My My Heaven's Sake how could they have thought that?  Well, I have a um I have a tool that I can deal with that it's called jury not withstanding the judgment notwithstanding the verdict.  I can say there is no possible way that a reasonable jury would have reached that conclusion.  And all right am I following the law or am I making law?  Okay I'm I'm I'm following law I'm I'm an impartial referee but it's hard to factor out my own emotions

Here is the legal tool the judge was referring to:    

A judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) is a  judgment by the trial judge after a jury has issued a verdict , setting aside the jury's verdict and entering a judgment in favor of the losing party without a new trial. A JNOV is very similar to a directed verdict except for the timing within a trial. A judge will issue a JNOV if he or she determines that no reasonable jury could have reached the jury’s verdict based on the evidence presented at trial, or if the jury incorrectly applied the law in reaching its verdict.

Trump is reducing trust in America's traditional bureaucratic infrastructure not to protect the people, but to entrench stooges and make the "party"(aka Trump, RINOs) ubiquitous.

And his stooges attempt to help this transformation from representative to abusive by snatching misleading headlines and quotes by someone else than the person you think. 

The quote at the top of the article is not attributed in order to make us think those were the judges words:

This phrase is not attributed on the page to anyone, but from the layout of the page, one gets the impression that is a quote from the judge when it is not.

You spend all this time trying to discredit Trump's judge because of one word he used (a word that contradicts, by the way, the balance of his speech and contradicts the very core of jurisprudence).

This is an example of how those who claim they do not want Trump as their nominee have enabled Trump.   Millions like you are bending over backwards to defend Trump and to discredit those who are not supporting Trump.

I disagree. These allegations and trials, obviously coordinated, have enabled Trump to get enormous support. Do you really think the American people are stupid?

I think he made a mistake.   Human beings have been known to use the wrong word in real time speech.   We do not have a chance to reread what we speak and recognize poor or incorrect word choice.

To me it is far more likely that the judge made a mistake than that he believes that it is okay for a judge to violate the very core of jurisprudence — that which is taught in law school and practiced daily by jurists — and disregard objective analysis (critical thinking) based on his emotions at the moment.

These allegations and trials, obviously coordinated, have enabled Trump to get enormous support.

" In result, the collective efforts have resulted in almost certain Trump nominee (thus all the better candidates provided by the GOP are eliminated) and a very likely loss in the general election. "

I think you may have also used the wrong word.

Substitute more electable for better candidate.

No, what I wrote is exactly what I mean.   Every GOP candidate seeking the nomination is better than Trump.   Any of them would be a better choice in terms of character, stability, honesty, patriotism, and ethics.

Just stop with the tangents.   You made a sweeping generalization of everyone to your left.   I am not going to now engage in a totally off topic discussion on emotive terms people use.   It should be obvious to you that the Ds have their pet terms and the Rs have theirs.

Did you miss Trump's attempt to violate the CotUS by stealing a US presidential election through lies, fraud, coercion, inciting supporters, and even suborning his own V.P. to commit an unconstitutional act in an official capacity?

Certainly, they could be more electable in a general election, but how would they be better for the country than the 45th President?

Vic,

I want you to know that I have been asked to remove this, but I won't since it is your opinion. 

That being said, there are those on the right, that would say the same thing. Extremist always point to Jews as the problem.

None of the GOP candidates have demonstrated that they care more about their egos than they do for this nation.   None have demonstrated a willingness to throw the CotUS under the bus.

I should not have to explain to someone why a traitor should not be nominated for PotUS.

He asked a question, just like you do daily multiple times.

Maybe you didn't like the question, but it remains a question nevertheless.

I realize at times that can be frustrating.

Perhaps he was merely looking for affirmation.

That is a flat out lie.   I told you why every other candidate is better for the nation than Trump.   

I did not speak of policies because they (and Trump) are all basically following GOP policies.   We are comparing Rs to Rs, not Rs to Ds.

In other words, put any of the candidates (possibly Vivek being the exception) as PotUS and we are going to get very similar policies that all would fall under the general umbrella of GOP-style policies.

Yes, and whole heartedly. I haven't, for one. My philosophies are decidedly liberal, so the blanket statement is false. 

When you find yourself about to use a phrase with "always" or "the left",  read it carefully to make sure that you aren't putting your foot in your mouth. Absolutes are seldom absolute.

It would be unconscionably dishonest to defend Hitler by saying that he never said he'd kill the Jews, but we can be certain that those on the left would try it.

Yet you sit here and excuse the behavior of Trump. That is unconscionably dishonest to yourself and others.
