Summary

Justice Samuel Alito confirmed speaking with Trump hours before Trump’s legal team filed an emergency Supreme Court request to block his Friday sentencing in a hush money case, has drawn scrutiny due to ethical concerns.

Alito denied discussing Trump’s legal matters or pending cases.

Trump seeks to delay sentencing, arguing it disrupts the presidency and national security.

The Supreme Court requested prosecutors’ responses by Thursday morning and will decide by Friday.

    I’m “running away” because my daughter is queer and she’s not safe in the U.S. And if you have a problem with that, go put your own fucking child at risk.

      You’ve proven me right. Thanks. Now, get off your ToS high horse and move out of the way. The time for peaceful progress is over.

        TIL keeping your kid safe is being on a high horse.

        Good to know you’re willing to risk other people’s lives for your cause. When does your glorious revolution start? Where is the mob gathering? Or is this just armchair general stuff?

            Got it. You’re an armchair general. You want other people to fight this fight on your behalf while you sit on your ass and berate people online. Good to know.

                    No you’re not. You will sit on your ass for the next four years waiting for someone else to do the job for you because you won’t do it yourself and you know it. You’re just a hypocrite.

                    Unlike you, I’m protecting someone’s life. You are protecting no one and nothing.
