16. I am so impressed

Mon Jul 13, 2026, 04:14 PM

Yesterday

by the number of people who have done what they could to prevent some of trump's worst schemes, and this is by far one of the worst. Remember, this is also the one where he tried to get immunity for both him and his family from prosecution on any tax fraud--ever.

In Ocelet's other post on this thread, with the excerpts explaining the conditions under which there could be monetary compensation, the judges who originally took this on were able to get compensation for their work but they refused it. There was never any doubt in my mind that they did this for the country and not for any monetary reason, but the fact that they are legally entitled to compensation for their work and that they refused it says so much.

I hope that the people on this board who think trump "gets away with everything" see and understand this ruling.
