Supreme Court Ruling - By The Numbers: Trump's Sentencing

Last night the Supreme Court handed down a ruling on whether a man who was convicted of 34 felonies by a jury in New York State should have to face sentencing for those convictions or if he can just go about his life of scamming people and lying and golf.

To the surprise of many, the court actually did not rule in favor of letting the criminal off without having to log in to a zoom call to be told he would not serve any jail time or have any punishment at all for his 34 felony convictions.

Instead they ruled that he would have to spend a few hours this morning listening to a judge tell him that he would not be punished in any discernable way.

The official vote, which any respectable Supreme Court in the United States in the past 200+ years would have been 9-0 against the felon was instead 5-4 against the felon.

We dug into the results though and came up with some additional numbers to shed more light on the results:

• If you only count justices that have a shred of integrity it was a 3-0 ruling against trump.
• If you only count justices who have been credibly accused of taking bribes it was 2-0 in favor of trump.
• If you only count justices who have not been credibly accused of sex crimes it was a 5-2 ruling against trump.
• If you do not count justices appointed by a convicted felon it was a 4-2 ruling.
