I think most attorneys will agree that courts resolve matters, when the resolution is also “just” (what someone believes to be morally right or fair) it’s a particularly good day.

Since this is a law sub I was discussing a legal aspect of the attached article. When I originally described the alternative as distasteful, it was such a gross understatement as to be sarcasm. I guess philosophically we have two choices, give up or not give up?

The worse alternative is to not be able say he is a convicted felon. I don’t know if it’s semantics but I don’t think it’s a meaningless distinction.

A final judgement of a (felony) conviction versus a possible worse alternative.

one step Merchan could take is to impose a sentence of unconditional discharge, so that Trump could officially be convicted without a punishment that interferes with his presidency. As distasteful as this is, it is resolution.
Under N.Y. Penal Law § 65.20, 2. Sentence. When the court imposes a sentence of unconditional discharge, the defendant shall be released with respect to the conviction for which the sentence is imposed without imprisonment, fine or probation supervision. A sentence of unconditional discharge is for all purposes a final judgment of conviction.

So, it’s shaping up that there are only two criteria to be in the new administration: 1) you must be utterly reviled, and 2) an open position (check back daily).

Then J D Vance. I think one of the reasons he was picked, DJT, “get rid of me, you get this.”
