Won't they just get to summation on Thursday then? Or you mean deliberations will be next week?

The reporters on Twitter say the judge said that they'll wrap up evidence this week and move to summation on Tuesday.  He probably doesn't want to have the holiday weekend to break up deliberations.

Yep, Merchan wants no break whatsoever between summations, jury instructions, & the start of deliberations.

How is this different than elite prep academies in the northeast? Or is this just another sh**t on the south while we do the same thing in another way

I think that the main point of the article is that these happen in majority Black areas in the South.

What exactly do you think the demographics of the elite, private schools of Boston or Los Angeles are like compared to their public schools?

Perhaps the more secular elite academies, but the Catholic Prep Schools are in many cases far more diverse than other privates and even publics, https://thetablet.org/catholic-hs-shows-how-diversity-can-be-achieved/

The Cristo Rey High School Network is free for only low income students, and it only serves low income students.

Now this has changed a bit. Many, but not all, but many Catholic Prep Schools have gone down in diversity, but experts in Catholic Education point to other reasons ( especially the decline of nuns and priests that teach for " free ", thus increasing costs.)

Too early to call. The verdict in that NYC trial could loom large because pretty much all polling says Trump takes a big hit if he becomes a convicted felon

It says otherwise though, according to polls the verdict on the hush trial doesn’t affect the people’s vote at all.

I know it's anecdotal, but I was at a bachelor party all weekend in Atlantic City. The crowd in the casino didn't exactly feel like people are experiencing a reccession.

Don't lotteries become more successful during recessions? I'm not sure about casinos, but it might be signaling just the opposite or nothing at all.

Trump is going to win easily. He’s not getting convicted.

Trial has convened a bit early today to deal with some evidentiary issues.  The judge says they won't be able to get to summation tomorrow, so it looks like it will be next week.

He could serve a third term, but not be elected a third time.

There is a theory he (or Obama, Clinton, GW Bush) could be elected VP and have a sock puppet at the top of the ticket who immediately resigns.

For what it's worth, Clinton at least has said he thinks this scenario is Unconstitutional.

It would be. It's a clear violation of the wording of the 22nd. In such a scenario, the new President would either have to immediately resign themselves, or the Speaker of the House would simply become President and the current VP (lets say Clinton in this case) would remain VP.

I think it is but SCOTUS hasn't adjudicated it and the line about eligibility originally didn't have a term requirement so there's potentially wiggle room there. Clinton's view is you should view the Constitution as a whole document and not piecemeal so the 22nd Amendment now implicitly imposes a new requirement on eligibility for the Vice Presidency.

I've become a big fan of Walz in MN.
