Criminal law flouting behavior, and a long history of it, makes a claim of lawfare moot.Welcome to lawfare.
The only kind of "correct" here is the technical kind.
Yup - you are 100% right - and in doing so the good judge released the defense to go after the appeal.Trump was convicted by a jury of 34 felonies. Judge Merchan has said the convictions will stand. He is not throwing them out or reversing anything. So the sentencing this Friday is a formality. Trump will be the first convicted felon to be president.

He is not throwing them out or reversing anything. So the sentencing this Friday is a formality. Trump will be the first convicted felon to be president.
Yeah. So?I hope people who made that choice get everything they voted for.
Why don't accept the fact that a person needs to be sentenced in order to be considered a felon in the US?So he's convicted of a felony, but he's not a convicted felon. Is this really the split hair Trump supporters are trying to sell this time?

You don’t document these “rules” either.No, they aren't.
A person literally needs to be convicted of a felony and sentenced for it in order to be considered a felon in the US.

He could appeal anyway. Judge Merchan was pretty clear that the 34 convictions stand.Yup - you are 100% right - and in doing so the good judge released the defense to go after the appeal.
Question: Will those crowing FELON!!! be just as vocal and vociferous if his appeal overturns the verdict. Will the same people be crowing that justice is still served and the President can no longer be referred to as a felon?
Trump was convicted by a jury of 34 felonies. He was found guilty. Merchan is not setting those 34 felonious convictions aside, and then on Friday, the sentencing will occur.It is not a formality. A person literally needs to be sentenced in order to be considered a felon.
