From the left: Bragg�s �Dubious Legal Theory�
�It is unclear that the felony statute that Trump is accused of violating
actually applies to him,� moans Vox�s Ian Millhiser. �Trump is accused of
violating a state law that makes it a crime to falsify business records
with the intent to defraud � and doing so specifically to conceal another
crime, the federal legal violations at the heart of [Michael] Cohen�s
conviction.� So if �the payments to [Stormy] Daniels . . . were not a
federal crime, then Trump potentially cannot be charged with the felony
version of the New York law and the case against him must be dismissed.�
And �we may need to wait a very long time before the courts� settle these
issues and proceed to trial. �Indeed, if the Supreme Court gets involved
in this case, we may not get an answer until well after the 2024
election.�

Foreign desk: We Need a New NATO
The �biggest problem for the democratic world is the overdependence of
each country�s economy on China,� warns Jianli Yang at City Journal, with
China �leveraging its economic power to coerce democracies.� It�s time �to
establish economic alliances to resist coercion arising from values-based
conflicts. Think of these alliances as an economic �NATO� for the world�s
democracies.� It would �engage in collective defense and offensive moves
on values-related issues� to �help break the collective-action dilemma�
facing the free world. �The world has entered a new kind of cold war�; the
new alliance �would represent a fundamental and effective structural
response to the challenge that China poses to world democracy.�

From the right: Feds� Illegal Starbucks Move
�By intervening in labor disputes between coffee shops and their
employees, Democrats are expanding the legislative scope of the 1935
National Labor Relations Act,� and so �are law-breaking with their overt
pro-union policies,� argues the Washington Examiner�s James Rogan. �Under
the plain language of the 1935 act, the National Labor Relations Board was
intended to be a neutral mediator� in companies �with a significant
relationship with interstate commerce,� i.e., �essential industries such
as railroads and trucking.� Yet individual Starbucks stores are purely
local businesses. �Intervening in the current Starbucks labor dispute� is
thus �blatant law-breaking� and �violates the constitutionally guaranteed
property rights of the shareholders and management of the Starbucks
company.� The fix is for Congress �to limit the scope of the 1935 act� or
for the Supreme Court to act.

Conservative: No One Above the Law?
�Lock Donald Trump up, or don�t� � but �don�t tell me that �no one is
above the law,� � scoffs The Federalist�s David Harsanyi. �It�s one of the
most ludicrous fantasies peddled by the left.� Indeed, �plenty of people
are �above the law� �: Ex-National Security Director James Clapper, who
lied to Congress. Ex-CIA boss John Brennan, who likewise lied. Ex-Attorney
General Eric Holder, who ignored a congressional subpoena. Hillary
Clinton, with her secret home server to �circumvent transparency.� In New
York, �people who don�t pay for public transportation,� trespass or
obstruct government administration �are all above the law.� Never mind the
�double standards�; the left�s �growing disdain for any semblance of
limiting principles . . . continues to do profound damage to the system.�

Law prof: The Case of the Missing Felony
�Indicting Donald Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records, Bragg
left out a small detail,� quips Jonathan Turley at The Hill: �the
underlying felony� � a campaign law violation � �Trump allegedly sought to
conceal.� Why? �There is no campaign finance violation in Trump paying
women to hush up alleged affairs� per the Justice Department. So �we have
a case brought by a prosecutor who campaigned on bagging Trump, to be
tried before a jury� from �a district that also voted against Trump, 84.5
percent to 14.5 percent.� Judge Juan Merchan could show he won�t play
along �by ordering a change of venue.� But he�s already �set the next
hearing for December, so Bragg has eight months to come up with an actual
crime.�

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
