Politico reported a very welcome decision:
A federal judge delivered a serious setback to President Donald Trump Tuesday in long-running civil lawsuits seeking to hold him liable for the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that evidence produced so far in the litigation brought by police officers and Democratic lawmakers indicated that Trump’s speech at the Ellipse that day was political in nature and not subject to the immunity the Supreme Court has found for a president’s official acts.
The judge concluded that Trump’ s incendiary speech was not part of his official duties.
The decision will be appealed, of course.
The Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether incitement to an insurrection is part of the Prrdident’s job.

So a judge ruled Trump can be held accountable for the riot he incited, but that doesn’t mean he will be.
When he was trying to stay in office despite the election results, I said, “This isn’t Belarus.” I’m still shocked by Jan. 6. It should have shocked the conscience of everybody, regardless of political persuasion, when a bunch of suckers and losers attacked the U.S. Capital for the likes of Donald Trump.
If I’m counting correctly, we’ve had a total of nine (9) presidents who did not complete a term. Eight died (four by natural means), and one resigned. Had he not resigned, it’s likely Nixon would have been impeached and convicted, but that remains speculative. We could have been done with Trump as President once and for all if more Republicans had voted to convict him in the Senate. (I’ll never understand why a retiring senator like Lamar Alexander didn’t vote to convict.) But they condoned Jan. 6 by voting not to convict. And if Jan 6 wasn’t grounds for conviction by the Senate after impeachment, perhaps nothing is.

I’m with you, Joe Nashville. What Trump did to overturn the 2020 election was criminal.

This laughable decision by a left-wing activist will go nowhere when appeals courts review it. Of more interest to serious people is the Kagan slapdown of DEI Justice Jackson.
“Kagan joined the eight justices in finding that the Colorado government erred in regulating Chiles’ practice because the state used a 2019 law that only banned therapists from counseling minors if the therapy entailed advising them on how to resist becoming transgender or gay. That amounted to restricting one viewpoint, in violation of the First Amendment, the majority said.”

So, you think it’s appropriate when the loser of an election encourages his followers to storm the U.S. Capitol? You admire sore losers.

It’s amusing that every judge who rules against Trump is a leftwing lunatic, even those appointed by Republican presidents.
