The Supreme Court Is Poised to Rescue Donald Trump

[Brenda]

Should Donald Trump be accorded immunity from criminal prosecution for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election? If you think the question is a no-brainer for the nine elite lawyers who comprise the Supreme Court, I have bad tidings. The court that annulled Roe v. Wade, gutted the Voting Rights Act and reinterpreted the Second Amendment to transform the U.S. into a legalized shooting gallery is unlikely to save our withering democracy from Trump or future presidents who think they are above the law.

It was clear the fix was in when Justice Clarence Thomas took his usual seat on the bench next to Chief Justice John Roberts. By any fair standard of judicial integrity, Thomas should have recused himself in light of his insurrectionist wife Ginni’s outspoken and zealous support of Trump’s “big lie” about the 2020 election. But Thomas has no integrity and knows no shame.

2. Its not so much granting full imunity as it is full delay

They will certainly kick it back down to determine which of the indictment charges are official duties, unofficial duties, and which are hybrids of the two.

The court will likely order some degree of immunity for official duties.

But this fact finding will take a year or more with appeals and clarifications.

So not full immunity, but not full culpability nor a speedy trial.

6. Like this is a normal trial?

Never has a President of The United States of America been in this situation.

Tired of talking about legal, not legal. The former president of the USA is indicted for a LOT!

4. Let's wait and see.

5. I'm for waiting and seeing what this drama will reveal.

I think it will be Coney-Barrett and Roberts siding with Sotomayor, Kagan and Brown-Jackson and ruling that he's not immune.

7. Whatever they do, they can't make "presidential immunity" retroactive

These election crimes were committed before Chump became president. Even corrupt-as-hell Clarence Thomas has to agree to that. They can't save Chump's ass from this, as much as they'd like to.

8. The j6 indictments are for crimes during his term....

He was sadly potus at the time.
