Yale Law professor outlines potential Trump legal strategy following guilty verdict: 'What the nation needs'
Fox News
A Yale Law professor says there's another strategy Trump's legal team could pursue to limit the impact of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's case on the 2024 presidential election.
The most obvious path for Trump's legal team to take in an effort to challenge the conviction is that of an appeal through the New York Appeals Court system in hopes of ending up at the Supreme Court – a process that Rubenfeld argued will take years to complete and could result in "irreparable harm."

"Of course that would take years, and that's a problem here. Why is it a problem? It's a problem because the election will have taken place and if this conviction is unlawful and unconstitutional, it could have an effect on that election," Rubenfeld, a Constitutional law professor, said on his podcast.
