Contributing sentiments towards policy:

81% : We look forward to uniting our country in the new administration as President Trump makes America great again.
65% : So New York changed the law to get Trump, Carroll took immediate advantage and now the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is playing along with this vicious and partisan charade.
60% : The election is over, Trump has been reelected, but the lawfare continues nonetheless.
48% : This sort of thing should have gotten the case thrown out of court on the first day, but that would require that those who brought it into court in the first place to be interested in justice, when all they really wanted to do was get Trump.
47% : Back in Sept. 2024, the Post Millennial reported that Trump attorney Will Scharf, "speaking at Trump Tower in New York City after a hearing to ask to overturn the final verdict against Trump in the E Jean Carroll case," pointed out quite correctly that the alleged victim's story "at its heart is an utterly implausible, he said she said story.
47% : And get him they did: Fox notes that the appeals court's ruling "comes after a New York jury last year found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll, a former Elle magazine advice columnist, in the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman store in the mid-1990s -- and for subsequently defaming her when she came forward with her story during his first term in office.
44% : As PJM's Ben Bartee noted back in Apr. 2023, Carroll was only able to file her case at all because of "an exception carved out in the New York state legal code that many speculate was crafted especially to enable the prosecution of Trump.
40% : "Even worse, the case only went to court in the first place because corrupt leftists changed the rules so that they could get Trump.
28% : Yet the Donna Karan dress she was wearing on the magazine cover wasn't manufactured at the time of the alleged encounter between Trump and Carroll.
27% : "Serious allegations of this kind are supposed to be established on the basis of evidence and witnesses, but Scharf noted that in this case, there was "no corroboration for anything" that Carroll claimed about what went on between her and Trump.
27% : She filed no police report at the time of the supposed incident, and couldn't even say when exactly her encounter with Trump was supposed to have happened.
12% : In 2019, Carroll appeared on the cover of New York Magazine beside a large headline that read: "This is what I was wearing 23 years ago when Donald Trump attacked me in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room."
