Ted Cruz the insurrectionist? Really. You know he's a political opportunist with an axe to grind, right? Of course he, and others, would try to lambaste the president for anything.
The point is, Tangle, Biden's comments meant nothing and this society, right now, doesn't care what the right-wing demagogues have to say about it.
George Floyd: As Chauvin jury deliberates, Biden calls case 'overwhelming'
quote:
The judge called her comments "abhorrent" and "disrespectful to the rule of law and to the judicial branch" and told Chauvin's attorney that Ms Waters "may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned."
Still, two defense attorneys in Minnesota said they consider a successful appeal over remarks like Ms Waters' or Mr Biden's extremely unlikely.
"Anybody who thinks undue publicity is going to get a case reversed in this day and age is just wrong," said Joe Friedberg, who is unconnected to the case.
"Just from a pragmatic standpoint, with social media, I don't think it can ever be done again."
Brock Hunter, past president of the Minnesota Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, said a successful appeal would be unlikely unless there were direct evidence that Ms Waters' statements affected jurors.
There is nothing there that anyone, other than the obvious political axe-grinding, cares about.
An appeal for undue influence should be filed only because that is what a competent defense attorney would have to try regardless of the facts. I wouldn't expect such an appeal to succeed.

I really can't believe he said that at that point, the separation of politics from jurisprudence is a core part of all our democracies.
Agreed. Biden did NOT cross that line. His comments were well after sequestration and the angst felt over his actions is political theater of no consequence.
The example of Rep.Waters is a good case in point.
