Can you tell where in the constitution it says you have a right to campaign, TYIA Right there by abortion and gay marriage. I haven’t ever had to get into the knitty gritty as to what kind of political rights a person has beyond voting. I’m sure there is a body of case law about rights to run for office. But I’ve never delved into it.

I'm not a lawyer, and perhaps BF can clarify, but I don't think appealing a trial date is a thing I suppose he can also say his rights are being violated relating to the election and being denied the right to campaign during Super Tuesday. That’s a highly novel situation. 99.9% of Defendants aren’t ever going to have come across a situation where they’re running for office and their trial is set during Super Tuesday. I suppose it would be his First Amendment rights? That would be a new one. Not all that new. The mayor of Boston did it years ago. The two-time Congressman, former governor, and four-time mayor, James M. Curley. He was under two Federal indictments when he won the mayoral election of 1946. In 1947 he was convicted of mail fraud and sent to Danbury, federal prison. After five months, his sentence was commuted for poor health. via Wikipedia ... can't make this stuff up. Return after prison sentence:
A crowd of thousands greeted Curley upon his return to Boston, with a brass band playing "Hail to the Chief".

I'm not a lawyer, and perhaps BF can clarify, but I don't think appealing a trial date is a thing. Not directly, as in he can’t go to the appellate court to get them to assign a different trial date to my knowledge. He definitely couldn’t do that in the state system. It can be ammo for an appeal if it goes to trial over Trump’s objection on the grounds his team didn’t have enough time to get ready and Trump subsequently got convicted. There are magic words a defense attorney can say to get a continuance off a trial date at least once. There are also things the Feds can do, like dropping new evidence last minute, that can make a continuance more likely. I suppose he can also say his rights are being violated relating to the election and being denied the right to campaign during Super Tuesday. That’s a highly novel situation. 99.9% of Defendants aren’t ever going to have come across a situation where they’re running for office and their trial is set during Super Tuesday. I suppose it would be his First Amendment rights? That would be a new one. If his attorney had not requested a pie in the sky trial date he probably would of ended up with some middle ground. At least it could of bought him a couple of months. But no, he did what Trump asked him to do and this is what they got.

If his attorney had not requested a pie in the sky trial date he probably would of ended up with some middle ground. At least it could of bought him a couple of months. But no, he did what Trump asked him to do and this is what they got. There are numerous ways to reply to this, but I'll take the easy way out. " YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR " It's so very simple ... then the question becomes WHY? 1. He has a well earned reputation as a "bad client". 2. He refuses to take well considered advice, and then stiffs them on the bill. No real law firm, even a Republican firm, will touch Trump with a barge-pole. Any other executive, a target of criminal charges, has dozens of experienced firms to choose from. In addition to being caught red-handed ( the Georgia phone call ) he's been ratted-out by subordinates. The client, in this case, is toast. Who want's to have that on their resume'? In a nutshell, that's why he's being represented by inexperienced nobody's. He refuses to pay for effective counsel, and no experienced attorney will have him as a client. He's in a bind of his own making. Gee, that's really tough. But wait ... Is that all ... ? NO! - there's even More! The AG of Arizona, who's already indicted phony electors, has his sights set on the Big Cheese himself. Get ready for indictment number 5 !

I like the alliteration ... well done. Capitals and/or quotation marks would set it off.

I'm not any more scared of him than I am of you -- which is to say that's laughable.
He broke the law, and he'll pay whatever penalty justice assigns to it. Fear has nothing to do with it, except in the minds of those who ape his dimwitted arguments out of fear of what justice has in store for the soon-to-be-convicted flailing fat fuck loser.

The thing that those that cry TDS don't realize is that it's them that have been infected with an incurable disease when they decided to back that traitorous piece of shit.
Figuratively speaking it's like they have a perpetual herpes sore on their face, and then wonder why no one wants to touch them.
Well, like luggage, herpes is for life. Enjoy.

The link below is from a group of anti-Trump attorneys. I couldn't find this clip of Trump anywhere else.
Former president Trump has gone off the rails ... yet again.
If case you haven't noticed, the gentleman is a "case study".
He wears his neurosis on his sleeve, and proudly lets them fly.
Of particular interest is his constant "projection", that is, projecting his own faults onto others.
It's on display 1:18 seconds into this video:
Trump has recorded, and posted a bountiful and bizarre bundle of blunders.
He stands in front of a camera and rants ... and rants, ... and rants some more.
( the stage presence of a used-car dealer doesn't help )
I'd like to get a transcript of this first Trump rant, and have it read aloud by an auctioneer.
A little fiddle & banjo in the background would give it a "homey" feel.
