It lays bare the inherent contradictions of our legal system and all of the legal professionals would prefer it that we didn’t pay attention, but merchan doesn’t have that luxury so he’s going to play it safe to protect himself; to the detriment the rest of the country as Trump himself has done
That’s all well and good but judges are ostensibly impartial and not supposed to care that much about their careers when it conflicts with a gross miscarriage of justice, which that would be. But we’re all just meatbags, not paragons of virtue, so that’s obviously flawed logic.
