The Supreme Court Is Poised to Rescue Donald Trump [View all]

[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.
