Man, they used to be able to hang guys for things like this because those same guys would claim that hanging the opposition was legitimate. Now it's just money all the way down.
you only need 4 to hear the case, and I'm pretty sure I know who the 4 are.
they're taking the case, not to reverse the decision but to stall the cases, hopefully past the election where trump would win and moot out these cases.
and in that situation, watch them rule 9-0 after trump is sworn in that the immunity trump says he has doesn't exist.
You're assuming Trump is going to win. He isn't.
Edit: downvoted by misinformation agents.
I'm assuming nothing. but if he did win, a ruling like that would not surprise me at all.
Sure. But he won't win.
watch them rule 9-0 after trump is sworn in that the immunity trump says he has doesn't exist
lol as if Clarence Thomas would do any such thing. That wouldn't trigger the libs.
no, but it would stop biden from doing official acts as president such as calling up seal team 6 and having them terminate with extreme prejudice certain key individuals to ensure he stays in office.
Honestly, just start putting politicians in jail until they agree to make an amendment saying he isn't a king.
FTA, a decision is expected at the end of June (end of their term for the year, I think).
That means if they reject the claim of immunity, trials can restart after that. And with delays, that lines up a wonderful October Surprise (TM), of course. I hate this system so much.
At least he's not immune from any of the state crimes... /s
There are still three months of pretrial.
If SCOTUS rules in late June, the trial cannot be finished before inauguration.
October surprise? Those dastardly globalists did it again!
/s
That’s only if everything goes to plan. If it does not, it will be close to or after the election that we get any of these cases back and then we’d really be screwed. Basically if he’s succeeded in delaying the cases this far out already, what makes you think he can’t delay another month somehow? This year is about to be really really ugly.
He's already delayed it enough. Ruling in July. Three months of pretrial, trial begins October. Two months of trial, ends in December. That leaves less time before inauguration than the minimum time that must pass between conviction and sentencing.
By law, Trump cannot be sentenced before inauguration day.
If they say he's immune from crimes and abuse of power as president, doesn't that mean he's saying Biden is now legally allowed to do the crimes and put Trump in jail without trial?
For the debate of this decision, Biden should sit in the audience with a baseball bat and just stare at Alito.
Weird way to spell .30-06.

He could clean house and pick all new justices!
Yup. And if anyone tried to impeach him, they could get the same treatment.
This guy gets it.
Doesn’t matter, and this narrative is tired af. Democrats will not go after him in that way.
