What is the governments subject matter jurisdiction argument as to Trump v. Anderson such thst the mere conduct of a trial at the current time is not then illegal under federal law because of the impact on campaign speech? Or do we order Joe Biden not to engage in any election speech whatsoever on trial days? Or do we set aside any Biden victory in 2024 upon grounds New York deliberately undermined the federal election process? In any event, Im sure Roberts and Co. are about to internationally embarass the New York courts for not knowing the federal law.

@Vlasov45 12 дней назад

The idea of a "jury of your peers" comes from the Magna Carta, but the phrase doesn't actually appear in the U.S. Constitution. Instead what we have is a right to "an impartial jury" drawn from the surrounding region. There's an interesting question in whether "impartial" means "disinterested," because "partial" is derived from the same Latin root as is the word "peer."' So it is inconsistent to require a jury to be impartial and then also require it to be made up of peers. In old English cases they would often have to import a jury from your local area, made up of people who would be familiar with you, and expected to know something about your character, reputation, local standing, and local habits and norms.

@AbsolXGuardian 12 дней назад

Peer also means of the same rank (within an aristocratic caste system). It wasn't until *2009* that members of the House of Lords in the UK were required to be tried in the normal UK court system. It changed in the wake of controversy after a Lord got out of (iirc) a vehicular manslaughter charge because his jury had to be made up of the rest of the house of Lords, naturally leading to a not guilty verdict

@cshairydude 12 дней назад

@@AbsolXGuardianThis is untrue: trial of peers in the House of Lords was abolished in 1948. The last such trial was indeed for vehicular manslaughter. Also it's considered disqualifying now if a juror knows the defendant, because it's assumed they are biased by their prior knowledge.

@CitanulsPumpkin 12 дней назад

@MrClickity Historically, Woke means "being aware of how society has stacked the deck against you and people like you." "Get woke," means "Wake up. They're ain't playing fair. We can't either." When the nazis co-opted woke, they used it exclusively to say, "A thing I saw acknowledged that people who are not cis het white evangelical men exist." "Anything the nazis don't like" is close, but they have been using it to mean something far more specific. "Representation of the denominations they want to genocide." That's why they can't come out and say the definition.

I've been on some juries, including one for a murder/arson case. It's always very interesting, at least to me, to watch the process of seating a jury. In the murder/arson case, a name was called, and a heavily pregnant woman got herself to her feet and headed for the jury box. The judge asked her, "When's your baby due?" The woman said, "Last week!" She was immediately excused. After a few hours I ended up an alternate juror for that case. The defendant was found guilty of arson, but they never proved that she had killed the victim. I don't live in New York so there's no chance I'll be called for Trump's jury.

True, but the language does stem from the Magna Carta and has been paraphrased in cases pertaining to the 6th Amendment (and as my ConLaw prof will tell you-every time the Supreme Court releases an opinion, the Constitution is altered due to changes in interpretation).

And local voting polls select people at random to oversee the voting procedure. And it's **important** that it is random, so people could not try and fish for tables to overturn the results in the ballot.

@@mistersquirrel0 funny, are you or have you ever been worth billions? Likely not. Those are and have been his peers for decades. Now he’s been president. His worst day outperforms any of my best days and yours as well. He’s a public figure and you can have whatever opinion you want of him, but it’s very clear that his dissenters opinion is based on envy. The man is an enigma. These are unmatched and scary times. The presidency and judicial system are systematically trying to eliminate their political rival for two reasons: they cannot beat him honestly, and they are TERRIFIED that a second trump admin will bring the skeletons out of the closet.

Thank you for all your hard work educating us. I have a question. If Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution, commonly referred to as the Supremacy Clause, supersedes State Constitutions and State Laws, why should law abiding citizens follow State Laws that are clearly unconstitutional??? And why aren't treasonous politicians held accountable for subverting our Constitutional Rights???

@Toonrick12 12 дней назад

Because of amendment 10. The State holds the powers that aren't already held by the federal government. And laws are only called unconstitutional if they are challenged and are considered unconstitutional by the various courts and circles of both the state and federal government.

Thank you for trying to answer a question that has been spinning through my mind every time T gets brought up. If I could make a suggestion, could this channel please go over what is considered contempt of court and what is not? And what the penalties for such actually are? The way I see it, violating a Gag Order is contempt of court at the very least, but perhaps I have seen inaccurate portrayals in TV and film on this matter.

@TheBrothergreen 12 дней назад

Contempt is anything the judge says it is. It's a judicial power, not a crime. Especially when the courtroom isn't filled to bursting with lookie loos and reporters. Not standing for the judge, not sitting, making noise or talking, making threatening gestures or just being disruptive could all qualify. In New York, the statute says up to 30 days in jail per offense and up to a $1000 fine.

@StAugustine6 12 дней назад

Objection: you said that DJT wanted to move the trial away from NYC. This was a non-new-Yorker mistake. Manhattan is only ONE part of NYC. It is no longer even the most populated part. NYC is unusual in that the city actually is comprised of FIVE counties - in NYC the sea re called Boroughs. I believe they requested (from what I heard) to move the trial to Staten Island (now the Borough of Staten Island, formally the Borough of Richmond). It is still within NYC, however its political composition is very different.

@paulinedunne3481 2 дня назад

Really informative, not just on this case but also juror selection! Kind of an interesting instance of bias towards the end - immigrant from Lebanon versus man from Ireland. I don’t have the time to look into whether this is the language used in the source or just in the video, but just something that stood out to me in the conversation about bias happening around juries in the video!
