if you ever have a bad day think of elections in North Korea ... red box ... or green box?

What a surprise, Rudy is trying to delay (or change/stall) his bankruptcy proceedings. I wonder where he picked that idea up from 🙄

People have short memories. When you hear Justice Thomas, you should think Anita Hill.

• paid interest only
• never made a payment on the principal
• Clarence never reported any of this to anyone
• Most importantly, he never reported any of this to the IRS

• Clarence got the principal $456,000 for free
• he no longer had to pay the small interest payments

The Washington Post - New York judge throws out Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case

12 July 2024

A federal judge in New York on Friday threw out Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case, paving the way for a litany of creditors, including two former Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation claim against him, to pursue and potentially seize his assets.

 

The decision by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane in the Southern District of New York comes nearly seven months after Giuliani sought bankruptcy protection after he was ordered to immediately pay millions in damages to two Georgia women he falsely accused of helping to steal the 2020 presidential election.

 

In his 22-page order, Lane cited Giuliani’s “continued failure to meet his reporting obligations and provide the financial transparency required of a debtor in possession” and called his behavior “troubling.” 

 

It restricts Giuliani from seeking bankruptcy protection for one year.

 

That is good news indeed. So what happens now? Does he need to start selling his houses (or anything he owns of value)?

The NY Times - Opinion - John Roberts Makes His Bid for Infamy  [unlocked link to the full editorial]

July 12, 2024

The most important takeaway from the Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. United States is that Chief Justice John Roberts, with the approval of his Republican colleagues, rewrote the Constitution to place the president above the law.

 

The chief justice erased the Constitution’s clear contemplation of criminal charges for presidential misconduct. 

 

He conjured, out of thin air, a distinction between “official” and “unofficial” acts that can’t survive the slightest scrutiny. 

 

He cloaked the executive in a prosecutorial immunity so complete that it shields almost any act a president might take from legal accountability as long as that president could tie it to a “core” duty. 

 

He eliminated, in practice, any distinction between a lawful or unlawful exercise of presidential authority. 

 

And Roberts did this, he says, to preserve the separation of powers and the integrity of the executive branch. ...

 

Roberts and the Trump court are arrogant enough to think that they’ve settled the issue “for the ages.”

Any moves against right wing SC judges will come to an end in November when Trump wins.
