A few recent events come to mind here:
1. The Trump $454 bond deadline. For about a week pretty much any attorney commenting on TV was claiming "Trump can't get covered for that amount, the AG will start seizing property!" Then on the last day to post the bond, a NY Appellate Court substantially reduced the bond amount and granted an extension. At no time in the weeks of breathless coverage of this affair was this possibility even mentioned.
2. The Supreme Court immunity case (in two parts):
a) When Trump's attorneys appealed both the District Court and Appellate Court judgments to the Supreme Court, most if not all "liberal" legal commentators consistently claimed "oh there's NO CHANCE the Supreme Court would take this appeal, it's pointless!" WHOOPS!!
b) Not to be outdone, once the Supreme Court granted a hearing, this same gaggle of "legal experts" claimed "oh there's NO CHANCE the Court takes Trump's immunity claims SERIOUSLY, it's pointless!" WHOOPS AGAIN!!
Wake up, idiots!!
That is all.

They (Judge Luttig, Lawrence Tribe, et al) also said the Colorado Supreme Court ballot removal decision was "masterful" and "unassailable".
They were very surprised when the SCOTUS decided to hear the case, but were confident that the Colorado Supreme Court's decision was absolutely bulletproof.
SCOTUS overturned it 9-0.

I remember the liberal commentariat being somewhat a mixed bag on that issue. Dan Abrams called those ballot cases "an MSNBC Pipe Dream" quite a few times. I considered adding this issue to the OP as a counterpoint but didn't want the post to be too long. But thanks for bringing it up.
The "analysis" that particularly irked me was in the bond case. Out of all the endless speculation nobody could bother to mention that appellate intervention was even a possibility?
Man, fuck outta here with that, as they say brah.
Thank you.

Still looking for your proof I relied on any of those people, Bucky. Outside of your rich inner life, anyways. |
