If he was sentenced before the election the Supreme Court nullifies it and you have the same result. Do all that you can to make sure he doesn’t get elected.

Nope, it’s smart. Leaving sentencing until after the election also keeps the Supreme Court out of it before the election. You can bet your boots they would have fast-tracked any appeal and nullified the sentence somehow before the election.

SUCH a good movie, and I second seeing Enemy of the State as well, although I wouldn’t call it a sequel but it has a similar underlying premise.
