Just saw it on the news, but the Supreme Court is not granting cert in the case of Maxwell and will not be considering her appeal.

So does that mean she went toadie for Trump for nothing?
Time is a funny thing, you know? I guess in the big picture of my life, you were only a blip. But oftentimes, those "blips" make the biggest impacts.

No. She still got work release out of a cushy country club prison.

Yes, a child trafficker got work release. I assume she's not allowed to resume her old job but nothing would shock me with the guys currently in charge.

If nothing else, she got a cushy club fed spot and we can't be sure he won't commute her sentence.

I wonder what horrible ruling this is covering for.

There's a bunch of them potentially this year.

I don't think it's cover. This is a case where there was probably jsut no appealable issues in their view. They rarely take up such basic criminal procedural ones

They (six of them) are also Toadies for Trump.

When you can't even get three justices to agree to hear your case, you've really screwed up.

They also only hear so many cases a year. They get hundreds of petitions and only hear a tiny fraction of those. Most of those aren't even cases in high disputes and just involve regulatory or statutory issues. Most cases, even with a heavily partisan Supreme Court, also end up relatively unanimous. It's only a select few that make the news.

They're not gonna burn a slot on a basic criminal procedure case just to uphold it when there's not much exciting about it from a broader policy standpoint.

And here comes the pardon. Trump just said he'll "take a look" at a pardon after talking to the DOJ

If she actually gets a pardon and the collective country doesn't immediately get pissed off we're washed, dude.
A worthless existence

He always does this, don't panic yet. The DOJ was vocally opposed to her appeal

Maxwell has no more use to him. He might pardon her, but he has no real reason to now

In so long? Is that a sign of dementia thinking weeks a go is a long time?

Funny how he also talks about Diddy asking for a pardon. Wouldnt that be the greatest slap in the face to victims of sexual violence, grooming and trafficking if he pardons both at the same time
