Why President Trump is still being legally harassed
By Matthew G. Andersson
New York judge Juan Merchan, who just denied another motion against President-elect Trump, may be an extreme political ideologue, but like all judges, he works for a government institution. He takes orders and follows directions.
Former federal appellate judge Richard Posner, appointed by Ronald Reagan, wrote a book called “How Judges Think”. Unfortunately, it should have been called “How Judges Behave”, because the job of judging really doesn’t rest on thinking; it rests on issuing a ruling, and more times than not, these rulings are wrong in law, and are also not subject to written explanations. They’re often just fiat.
Judge Merchan just proved that. He denied Trump’s latest motion to dismiss concerning the irregular use of witnesses against him, stating “The People’s use of these acts as evidence of the decidedly personal acts of falsifying business records poses no danger of intrusion on the authority and function of the Executive Branch.”
Apparently the judge still believes that the “executive branch” works on its own by unelected staff. As the Biden administration proved, no actual “president” was necessary, therefore, no interference can occur, and the office is insulated. This is classic legal “workaround” reasoning taught in today’s law schools.
