Special counsel asks Supreme Court to let Trump’s D.C. trial proceed In a filing Wednesday evening, Smith’s office urged the justices to let stand a unanimous ruling from the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit that rejected Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for actions he took as president. The Supreme Court’s response will have a significant impact on whether and when Trump goes on trial in Washington, where the presiding judge has already postponed a planned March 4 start date. Federal prosecutors told the justices that Trump’s “alleged criminal scheme to overturn an election and thwart the peaceful transfer of power to his successor should be the last place to recognize a novel form of absolute immunity from federal criminal law.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/02/14/trump-immunity-appeal-supreme-court-special-counsel/

SCOTUS to hear Grifter's immunity case. BS. AMERICA MAY BE SCREWED. It will be difficult to get the case tried before the election. WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to decide whether former President Donald Trump can claim presidential immunity over criminal election interference charges, adding a new hurdle to a trial taking place. The court in a brief order said it would hear arguments and issue a ruling on the immunity claim. In the meantime, the case is on hold, meaning no trial can take place. The order said the court would hear the case the week of April 22. The case could take months to resolve. www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-decide-trumps-immunity-claim-election-interference-case-rcna139026

The Supreme Court is beyond compromised and should see its already dismal 18% approval/confidence rating take a further hit. They always complain how people don’t respect them. Maybe people would if the majority weren’t simply partisan activists.

When will the decision come down, July 1? Even if Trump loses, he wins. Disgraceful.

This is excellent evidence in support of a motion for recusal. I'm not sure, but AG Garland may have to sign off on any such decision despite the SC's independent status but would need to further research that issue.

King David? Doesn't he mean King Solomon? SMH. This is on par with him referencing TWO Corinthians. What a Bible thumper 45 is not!

Supreme Court sets Trump immunity claim in D.C. trial for April 25 The Supreme Court has scheduled argument for April 25 to review Donald Trump’s claim that he is immune from criminal prosecution on charges of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The case will be heard on the final day of the court’s argument calendar and will determine whether and how quickly Trump faces trial in D.C. for allegedly trying to block Joe Biden’s election victory. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/06/trump-immunity-supreme-court-argument-date/
