Birther Judge David O. Carter says that if President Trump’s “plan” to “overturn a democratic election” had worked it would have “permanently ended the peaceful transition of power, undermining American democracy and the Constitution.”
Judge Carter goes on to say that, “If the country does not commit to investigating and pursuing accountability for those responsible, the Court fears January 6 will repeat itself.”

United States District Court, Central District of California, Southern Division.
Judge Carter’s disposition (dated March 28, 2022) begins and ends onthe last page (44):
Text of the Disposition:
Dr. Eastman and President Trump launched a campaign to overturn a democratic election, an action unprecedented in American history. Their campaign was not confined to the ivory tower—it was a coup in search of a legal theory. The plan spurred violent attacks on the seat of our nation’s government, led to the deaths of several law enforcement officers, and deepened public distrust in our political process.
More than a year after the attack on our Capitol, the public is still searching for accountability. This case cannot provide it. The Court is tasked only with deciding a dispute over a handful of emails. This is not a criminal prosecution; this is not even a civil liability suit. At most, this case is a warning about the dangers of “legal theories” gone wrong, the powerful abusing public platforms, and desperation to win at all costs. If Dr. Eastman and President
Trump’s plan had worked, it would have permanently ended the peaceful transition of power, undermining American democracy and the Constitution. If the country does not commit to investigating and pursuing accountability for those responsible, the Court fears January 6 will repeat itself.With this limited mandate, the Court finds the following ten documents privileged: 4553; 4793; 4794; 4828; 5097; 5101; 5113; 5412; 5424; 5719.289 The Court ORDERS Dr. Eastman to disclose the other one hundred and one documents to the House Select Committee.

I once had such high hopes for justice with David O. Carter. Carter is still one of the best Federal Judges…. it’s just that the competition in that field and for that title is so weak. Donald J. Trump had the opportunity to invalidate an invalid election, and on January 6, I thought he was going to go down in history with Napoleon Bonaparte and that January 6 would be the new 18 Brumaire of the modern world. I spent that day in anticipation of a declaration of martial law under the Insurrection Act, and of Trump’s declaration of himself as “First Consul” or something. I was totally in support of a coup AGAINST the fraudulent election. But instead Trump stepped back, and allowed Biden to take office. Whether that was just treason or “a clever stratagem” based on maintaining structures of the longue durée remains to be seen. But I fear I suspect it was actually UNJUST treason. We needed Trump to be the new Napoleon…. but, I suspect he is too old and … too hopelessly bound and compromised…. to the New World Order of which he seems to be part, and in which he made his fortune.
