Precedent-setting case, “Justice Department vs. E. Jean Carroll,” ends in reversal of defamation suit against the current president.
Justice Clarence Thomas, writing for a 6-3 majority in Phase One of the precedent-setting case of The United States Justice Department vs. E. Jean Carroll, wrote that the defendant was found “at fault on all issues before this Court.”
The U.S. Department of Justice, represented in court by Attorney General Pam Bondi, argued that it was “through lies, falsehoods and dissembling” that Carroll “inveigled a Manhattan jury” into awarding the former writer $88.3 million in 2 defamation suits brought by Carroll against the former president of the United States two years ago. “E. Jean Carroll,” declared Bondi on the courthouse steps, “meets the very definition of flagrant floozy.”
The U.S. Supreme Court, newly christened by Chief Justice John Roberts as “Trump’s Velvet Fist,” set precedents in their action this week by: dismissing E. Jean Carroll’s successful suit against Donald Trump for defamation; allowed for levying civil penalties against Carroll for Trump counterclaims of defamation; and finally, the Court ruled Carroll guilty on a morals charge.
On the first issue, Trump’s civil liability to Carroll, Thomas wrote that the previous verdict violated the constitutional principle of “full, complete and forever immunity” for the U.S. President. “Besides that,” added Thomas, “da’ bitch wanted it!” Thomas went on to parrot Trump claims made during the original trial that Carroll was “a whack job,” that the “trial was rigged” and that “Ms. Carroll is decidedly not the forever-president’s type.” “She ain’t my type neither,” muttered Thomas aloud.
The first ruling of SCOTUS paved the way for criminal prosecution of Carroll, which AG Bondi spearheaded, also before the Supreme Court, almost immediately after the Court’s initial ruling. While it is unusual for the Attorney General to appear in court personally, Bondi indicated on X (formerly Twitter) that she did so in the “Trumpian spirit of retributional justice.” E. Jean Carroll, 81, was convicted, after only 45 minutes, of prostitution and sentenced to 75 years in prison.
Trump’s one-time attorney, Alina Habba, who confided to Trump-friendly reporters that she finally did pass the New York State Bar Exam after 7 tries, is “ready to stick it to that skank,” meaning Carroll. Habba was hired this week as a second-chair prosecutorial assistant by Bondi and will get her feet wet in an unusual civil proceeding before the High Court in the prosecution of the Carroll case.
Asked by reporters if she saw any impropriety in representing the federal government in a case involving a former opponent in a civil action, Habba said, “Shit no! Sure I’m transactional; but, I’m working for Trump, aren’t I?” Habba indicated that Trump is seeking $4 billion in “real or presumptive damages to Trump’s good character.” Asked about her approach to the case, Habba replied that she’s “boning up on legal theory by consulting a Magic 8 Ball and a Ouija Board.”
