Honig, a legal commentator, wrote an article in New York that says 1. the judge should have recused himself, 2. there is no state jurisdiction over Federal election laws, 3. Trump and the defense did not know what he was charged and convicted of. As an aside, he thinks he will get jail time.

The total surface area of Earth is about 197 million square miles, of which roughly:
71% is covered by water. 
3% is glacier-covered land.
8% is desert or dry areas.
6% is mountains.
4% is cropland.
4% is pastureland.
2% is used for wood production.
5% (10 million square miles) is fit for human habitation and not used for the purposes above.


* If people were evenly distributed across the 10 million square miles of land available for human habitation, there would be 808 people per square mile, or 0.8 acres per person.


* People are not distributed evenly but tend to live in areas that are warm, have fertile soil, and are accessible to oceans.




The state of Texas contains 0.46% of the world’s total land area and has a population density of about 117 people per square mile. If everyone in the world moved to Texas, the population density would be 31,079 people per square mile. This is 3% below the population density of Brooklyn, New York (31,982 people per square mile)

* In 1998, the Census Bureau reported that 96% of the world’s population increase was occurring in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. In 2022, the United Nations projected that Africa would account for most population increases through 2050.
