The New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state, has denied President-elect Donald Trump's request to halt his sentencing Friday in his criminal hush money case.

Trump on Wednesday launched an eleventh-hour request to New York's highest court to pause the hush money case, on the same day that he also asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt his sentencing.

Prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney's office argued in a Thursday morning filing, before the court made its ruling, that Trump's argument to delay his sentencing rests on an "utterly baseless" concept of president-elect immunity.

Responding to Trump's argument, lawyers for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg urged the New York Court of Appeals to reject Trump's request for a delay because a president-elect does not benefit from the immunity reserved for the sitting president.

1. In other times the s.c. had no say

And if they give a f.f. about their 'respect' they better leave it alone now.

2. A corrupt president with his own personal Supreme Court. Is this what Americans voted for?

I’m pretty sure there was nothing in the campaign about taking over Greenland and Canada and the Panama Canal. So Americans didn’t vote for that either

3. Again the SCROTUS accepts a case it should have rejected outright

Just more evidence of their bias and disregard for established law.

7. Sotomayor asked for a response. Standard operating procedure.

The application was filed with Sotomayor. She had the following options: deny it summarily, grant it summarily, or ask for NY to respond. If she had denied it summarily, Trump could have re-filed with another Justice. She made the correct move.

6. "Very Truly Yours"

LOL!! I guess that's how she signs all letters, but that is hilarious here.

This was his attempt to sue the judge. The court isn't entertaining nonsense. Its not even smoke and mirrors; its legal nonsense.

8. Why call it "Hush Money Case?

Hush Money or Election Interference?

Why is it continually called the "hush money" case when it really should be called the "election interference" case? He was interfering with the election by paying off the porn star to not speak about their tryst. Simple.
