head, because i think the word conspiracy is really apropos because she conspired to set up these things is a willing participant and i think it was a slam-dunk for the prosecution. one of the things that does concern me in this new era of pandemics and covid effects, i keep hearing the judge was concerned about covid, was concerned about a breakout, was concerned about a juror. is there a leg for an appeal here saying the jury was rushed, that they would try to push something like that, i covid because the jury not to can you see something like this are to happen in our courtrooms? look, i think the appeal is going to be uphill. when it comes to managing the jury in the deliberations, were talking about an abuse of discretion standard, which means the trial judge has to really do something pretty bad to get reversed on appeal. but the timing of this is interesting in that she basically let them know i would rather you stay longer because

what s it going to look like in courts across the country? i can t wait for this issue to get to the courts because we all understand that a president s right to declare a national emergency, he gets extremely broad deference, right? but there are a couple of mainstays of the law once a case like this gets into court that will come into play. one is the abuse of discretion standard. it permeates the whole criminal justice system. yes, you might have broad discretion but you can still abuse that discretion and it sure looks like that s what the president did here by throwing his executive order tantrum when congress wouldn t fund his wall. so i think once this gets into court, i think the courts will enjoin him so quickly it will make his head spin. i mentioned marco rubio, susan collins, thom tillis. what does it say to you about the president s base and the degree to which maybe that is not the republican base?
