Talking about the case with the classified documents. As I see it Trump was being investigated for a crime, then sued the government somehow before he was put on trial.
If I understand it, this would be akin if I got caught in the act of burglary, then before my trial sued the government for illegally taking my property that I stole and claiming it was mine. Is this what’s going on here?
Trump is suing the government, so his name comes first. If (When, please!) he is indicted, then it will be the other way around.
I think your analogy is pretty apt, yes. That is what is happening.
I thought when it was an appeal, the appellate’s name came first in the case e.g. Miranda v Arizona.
The US Supreme Court does it that way, but most appellate courts do not. (don’t ask me why)
Does anyone have any idea just how many lawsuits he has filed in his life? He’s got to be a record holder.
Filing. It’s a lot easier to keep track of a case in the court files if the name doesn’t change.
According to a USA Today analysis, prior to being elected president, Trump or his businesses had been involved in 3,500 legal cases. Trump or one of his businesses was the plaintiff in 1,900 cases.
Jumpin’ Jehoshaphat! His middle name should be Sue.
Sure, that makes sense. But then the question becomes why the Supreme Court does it differently.
Because there’s no further appeal from them.
They’re the Supremes and run by their own rules.
