Mark Levin Reveals How Republican AGs Can Force SCOTUS To Rule On Trump’s Conviction

Former President Donald Trump publicly called on the Supreme Court to hear and potentially overturn his guilty verdict last Thursday, and constitutional scholar Mark Levin has now revealed a possible avenue to make that happen. Trump was convicted on 34 counts tied to so-called election interference after facing a barrage of charges from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

The charges centered around the alleged scheme to hide a $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to prevent her from disclosing a supposed 2006 affair with Trump before the 2016 election. The former President will appear back in court on July 11th for sentencing.

Levin came to Trump’s defense on Tuesday, detailing a plan for how Republicans can help Trump force the Supreme Court to make a ruling on Trump’s conviction. “THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHOULD BE SUED IN THE SUPREME COURT,” wrote Levin on X. “New York prosecutors have sought and obtained civil and criminal judgments under unique New York laws against Donald Trump in New York courts before New York judges shortly before the Presidential election. ”

“What New York has achieved (and what it will accomplish unless the Supreme Court takes prompt remedial action) is to make this and future federal Presidential elections chaotic and unpredictable. It subjects them to an aggressive attack on one candidate by a single partisan State choosing to weaponize its local laws and courts.”

“States like Texas, Florida, Tennessee, North Dakota, Utah, and others that are strongly Republican,” Levin continued, “could sue New York in an Original Action in the Supreme Court under the provision of federal law that authorizes actions in the Supreme Court of controversies between States (28 U.S.C. 1251(a)). They could seek, as relief, that New York be ordered to vacate the New York judgments against Trump.

“If the 2028 election involved no incumbent, the Republican States could do what New York has done to Trump and what future Democratic prosecutors are likely to emulate in their States– prosecute and sue the opposing candidate shortly before the election before a judge who will probably have similar political views and secure one or more judgments that can be publicized and may have substantial effect in “swing states,” he finished.

“It was a rigged trial, it was a disgrace,” Trump declared outside the courtroom right after the ruling. “The real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people. They know what happened here. I am a very innocent man,” he continued, adding that he plans to immediately file an appeal.

“The United States Supreme Court MUST DECIDE!” Trump wrote on Truth Social this weekend.

In the case, Manhattan DA Bragg used COVID-era policies to expand the statute of limitations on an administrative payment error, which is generally a misdemeanor. Bragg then upgraded the charge to a felony, citing a “conspiracy” to commit another crime. While Bragg has never specified the exact crime, his team has attempted to convince the jury that Trump “interfered” in the 2016 election. Additional criminal cases against Trump — the federal classified documents case, federal election interference case, and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ RICO case — are not expected to go to trial before the election.

However, Biden’s campaign is reported to believe that June’s presidential debate is crucial for the 2024 race and will present an opportunity to sway undecided voters. While aides are hoping that a conviction could help the margins in what projects to be a tight race, they have also conceded that the lawfare mostly appeals to voters who were already reliable Democrats.
