Trump Demands Stay Of Sentencing Based On Retroactive Presidential Immunity

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Blanche and Bove go to great lengths to fudge the line between being charged for official conduct and being convicted of non-official conduct based on evidence of official acts.
48% : Trump demanded a response from the court by 2pm, warning that he'll "file an Article 78 proceeding as well as a direct appeal in the Appellate Division, First Department, seeking review of the Court's two recent incorrect rulings on Presidential immunity" if he doesn't get his way.
46% : In today's nastygram, Blanche and Bove demand that the court stay all proceedings under Trump v. US to allow their client to take an immediate appeal.
46% : In essence, Trump isn't making an immunity claim, he's making an evidentiary one.
34% : Trump does demand an automatic stay to litigate the claim of "absolute sitting-President immunity from criminal process, extended to the President-elect."
30% : That person might also note the inherent tension between the claims that it violates presidential immunity to force Trump to litigate criminal appeals after he's sworn in, and the demand that sentencing be stayed to allow him to litigate his criminal appeals.
25% : "Screeching about a "politically-motivated prosecution that was flawed from the very beginning, centered around the wrongful actions and false claims of a disgraced, disbarred serial liar former attorney, violated President Trump's due process rights, and had no merit," they added that "While it is indisputable that the fabricated charges in this meritless case should have never been brought, and at this point could not possibly justify a sentence more onerous than that, no sentence at all is appropriate based on numerous legal errors -- including legal errors directly relating to Presidential immunity that President Trump will address in the forthcoming appeals.
