Supreme Court prepares to issue ruling on Trump immunity and final cases Monday

[RandySF]

CNN — The Supreme Court is expected to hand down its final opinions of the term on Monday morning, resolving the question of whether former President Donald Trump may claim immunity from federal election subversion charges.

Overstepping their unofficial end-of-June deadline by a single day, the nine justices will assemble on the bench for a final time before rising for their summer recess – likely leaving in their wake a flurry of legal wrangling over their last decisions.

By far, the case of greatest consequence that is still outstanding is the question of whether Trump is entitled to the sweeping immunity he is seeking from special counsel Jack Smith’s election subversion charges.

Trump has argued that without immunity, presidents would be hamstrung in office, always fearful of being second-guessed by a zealous prosecutor after leaving the White House. That position appeared to have some purchase on the 6-3 conservative Supreme Court during oral arguments in April.

2. I wonder which one is carrying the orders from Putin to the other fiveI'm

3. This will be a half-ass ruling...no clear and simple explaination.

Maybe something along the lines of immunity for obvious things like war.....but there will be no immunity for some actions and some other foggy ruling which will be sent to lower courts to decide...

I do see Judge Chutkin ( I may of misspelled her name)...she will then hold hearing and stuff to get clarity on the Jan 6th tRump crimes...I see this happening by end of August, having a trial start.

4. There will not be a pre-election trial,

the only upcoming trial is for Hunter Biden.

5. Today's Supreme Court ruling will give us an answer to the possibility of a trial...

I would relish the re being a trial on January 6 and tRump....That said....I won't hold my breath and the real focus is on firm actions steps...get out the vote as our lives depend on it mission. We the people have the control so far to vote, vote vote..

I do see Biden winning in November...

8. Seeking thoughts re: SCOTUS and President Biden

Do any of you think it's possible President Biden will change his mind about not expanding the court given how radical Roberts' court is? I would think a shift toward speaking to this possibility more would be a helpful campaign topic. I realize President Biden is an institutionalist but he also is capable of his opinions evolving based on new facts and info. All the talk about the upcoming elections feels almost secondary to doing something to rein in this court. Unless at least 3 of the right-wing radicals on the court are expected to die/retire in the next four years, expansion feels like the only option.

Thoughts?
