[QUOTE="donner, post: 4276965, member: 277"] Next question, against whom would the charges be brought? The governor as the leader or the state? The legislature that empowered the prosecutor? The prosecutor him or her self? The grand jury that indicted trump? The case didn’t move forward without multiple steps and the involvement of numerous people. But I’m only going on my recollection from con law classes in college. I’m sure there are far more practiced minds that could argue for a jurisdictional issue. I just don’t immediately see it as you stated it. I’m also wondering what crime the person would actually be charged with. Violating someone’s constitutional rights is a problem that can generate charges I guess, but I’m not sure of what criminal law is broken from usurping the legal jurisdiction between state and federal courts. If you know the specific crime statue, please say as I’d like to read about it. Iirc, the feds have been quick to step up and claim jurisdiction when desired, but it’s not a crime for the state to go after state charges. If the state is wrong then scotus says so upon appeal but again, no criminal crime by state officials per se. [/QUOTE]
