Like the dog that caught the car, Democrats finally got what they wanted. A rogue prosecutor and a rogue court in a rogue state convicted former President Donald Trump on charges that no one can explain, for victimless crimes real or imagined.

Is it a felony? A misdemeanor? Within the statute of limitations? Who knows, but the mean orange man deserved it, said 12 New York Times subscribers under the instruction of a judge so corrupt he resembles a villain in a Martin Scorsese film. The Trump camp will appeal, however, it is uncertain whether an appeal will make a difference in New York. The Supreme Court may take swift action following the precedent set by Bush v. Gore, but that is unclear at this juncture.
