8. This is an Op-Ed column.

Columns that appear opposite the editorial page (Op-Eds) are strictly the opinions of the columnists and not the paper at large.
The above columnist, Thomas B. Edsall, is a senior and respected LIBERAL who here is alarmed by the SCOTUS decision to delay TFG's immunity trial, thereby depriving President Biden of the damaging trial publicity against Trump.
This columnist is FOR Biden. And I would recommend reading Edsall's column (which is HIS opinion, not the NYT's) every Wednesday when it appears.
