This is the on the reasonable doubt with your hosts, Mark Garagas and Gary Smith.

Well, welcome on Palm Sunday, by the way, to the altar of Bard for our Sunday morning.

And I'm sitting in New York and I'm going to escape before tomorrow's festivities or solemn occasion,

which is the arrival of the former president, to Manhattan, to be arraigned on Tuesday,

although I still, as I speculated elsewhere, not on Bard, I think recently,

is part of me that wonders why he's going to just surrender on Tuesday,

given the fact that this is a state court case, given the fact that Dessantis is already indicated

that he wouldn't honor or look at an extradition request.

But ironically, most people are talking about the extradition request as being a ministerial act,

but that's never stopped him before.

I mean, that was the same thing that Pence had invoked for the election on January 6th

that the vice presidential counting of the ballots is a ministerial act.

Here in this case, I think he's got a little bit more gravitas on it that he can make the,

I think a compelling argument, or at least an argument that would probably tie this thing up for a while,

that this is a political prosecution, which has already been embraced both by him and by those around him and the party,

and that a state-to-state extradition request has to go from governor to governor.

And if that's the case, and Dessantis has already said he's not going to honor it, it's an interesting legal issue.

Well, I mean, is there anything that, aside from what's being reported in the press,

is there anything to stop him from changing his mind on that?

I mean, there's been indication, obviously, that he's going to surrender,

and he's got a tack of peanut out there, saying that he hopes that it's a classy affair,

and that they can do it quickly, and with all due tax, but who knows, he could just change his mind, right?
