Well if Judge Chuktan decides that Trump has violated terms of his bail release orderand revokes bail, I guess she can send out a US Marshall squad to find him and return DJT to the Judge's venue.

I think that's what she means when she suggested his actions may force her to speed up the trial. If she revokes bail there will be an imperative to get it heard pronto. He's between a rock and a hard place on this.

Conservative Case Emerges to Disqualify Trump for Role on Jan. 6
Published Aug. 10, 2023 Updated Aug. 11, 2023

 

But James Bopp Jr., who has represented House members whose candidacies were challenged under the provision, said the authors “have adopted a ridiculously broad view” of it, adding that the article’s analysis “is completely anti-historical.”

 

(Mr. Bopp’s clients have had mixed success in cases brought under the provision. A state judge, assuming that the Jan. 6 attacks were an insurrection and that participating in them barred candidates from office, ruled that Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia, had not taken part in or encouraged the attacks after she took an oath to support the Constitution on Jan 3.)

The detailed argument by the 2 Federalist Society constitutional scholars will be cited in briefs going forward and will have a strong influence on cases going forward. For now, expect a number of lawsuits directed towards the respective Secretaries of State.

Action needed = "each of the 50 state secretaries of state has an obligation to print ballots without his name on them.” Calabresi also “said…that they may be sued for refusing to do so.” Argument for Immediate Disqualification

The article goes on to note that former U.S. Appeals Court Judge J. Michael Luttig, a “star witness” during a televised hearing of the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, also praised the article. He says it “promises to be of monumental — and historic, if not also contemporary — importance to Constitutional Law.”

The issue has been adjudicated in several House primary cases, but will surely be tested anew after this article.
Noted after Representative Cawthorn's case was appealed:

Praveen Fernandes, vice-president of the Constitutional Accountability Center, which filed an amicus brief, said: “Although Representative Cawthorn just lost his party’s nomination for his seat in Congress, today’s ruling remains an incredibly important one.

“It makes clear that the 1872 Amnesty Act poses no barrier to similar future … challenges of the qualification of candidates to appear on the ballot, thus ensuring that section three of the 14th amendment can continue to serve its purpose as an important mechanism for holding public officials accountable when they violate their oaths of office.”

Two judges from the Federalist society wrote that Trump is disqualified from holding office under the constitution. It is ultra significant that Federalist Society judges would speak out against Trump. He's toast

Yes, that was in the post I replied to.

Do keep up.

From the NY times article I cited earlier:

 

“There are many ways that this could become a lawsuit presenting a vital constitutional issue that potentially the Supreme Court would want to hear and decide,” Professor Paulsen (one of the authors) said.

Trump jabs at judge in election case, testing warning against ‘inflammatory’ statements

Overnight, Trump called Chutkan ‘biased and unfair’ for comments during 2022 sentencing of Jan. 6 defendant.

Donald Trump slammed the judge presiding over his newest criminal case early Monday, testing her three-day-old warning that he refrain from “inflammatory” attacks against those involved in his case.

In a Truth Social post just before 1 a.m., Trump assailed U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan as “highly partisan” and “very biased and unfair,” citing as evidence a statement she made during the sentencing of a woman who participated in the mob that breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Seems that most of Trump's jeopardy in all of his court cases comes from the evidence from his own 'big mouth'.

 

Trump's big mouth has been a doubled-edged sword, always sharp and cutting, and having lived by it he now has fallen on it.

Hope she will set an early trial date now.

Lock him up for contempt of court, a few weeks in jail will do him good. He better gets used to it anyway. 

[rudi49jr]

And again Trump violates judge Chuktan’s warning:

Wonder what the judge is going to do now.

ding ding ding ding!!!!

We have a winner!

Trump may have given judge reason to jail him with attack on witness: legal expert

 

Good ol' DT, I knew he'd come through!

I suggest three nights in US government accommodations.  If he does it again when he gets out he gets another week.  If he does it yet again the entire bail release goes out the window and he stays in the cage at least until the trial is over and the jury rules.  And if that happens then you can bet your booty his team will no longer be requesting delays.

Next step is the judge notifies his lawyers she needs to see them "and bring the [expletive] defendant with you."

Unfortunately I think it was an empty threat from the judge. I don't see any options of moving the case forward. And that would put her in a bit of a bind now.
