[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uh oh.. prosecution's case is in trouble. Their star witness is "problematic". None of this should come as a surprise to the prosecution.   Clearly, they were pushed by Trump to bring charges, even if the charges won't stick.  It was purely to embarrass Comey as much as possible.

I'm sort of sad that the case probably won't go to trial.  It would've been great to see Trump's DOJ get their a$$es kicked, and the Russia interference scandal be brought to light again.[/quote]

I think there's a pretty good chance that Comey demands a speedy trial instead of trying for a pre-trial dismissal.  He signaled that in his statement after the indictment, and it makes some sense since any dismissal will get litigated up to the [b]Calvinball court[/b].[/quote]

The what?[/quote]
PP is referring to the Supreme Court, which makes new law all the time regardless of precedent, like Calvin of Hobbes fame did with the rules of Calvinball, a game he made up.[/quote]

It was a reference in a dissent by Justice Jackson:

“This is Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist,” Jackson wrote. “Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this administration always wins.”

She wrote that brilliance? What case was that? I need to get back into reading the dissents![/quote]
