New York State court judge Juan Merchan seems fed up with the incessant attempts by Trump and his legal team to delay his criminal trial for interfering in the 2016 election by making hush money payments and falsifying business records to cover them up. Judge Merchan ruled that Trump's NY prosecution will begin with jury selection on April 15.

In another legal development, a New York appeals court inexplicably reduced the amount of the bond Trump must put up to appeal the massive money judgement entered against him in his business fraud trial. The bond amount was suppose to be $464 million. Yet without any explanation, analysis, or citation to legal authority, the appeals court ordered the bond reduced to $175 million. This is an especially curious development as it comes just days after Trump boasted on social media that he had close to a half-billion dollars of cash on hand.

One thing seems pretty clear: many of our institutions of government - particularly the federal government - seem to have concluded that the rules, the laws, and the Constitution apply differently to Trump than to everyone else.
