Supreme Court To Take Up Trump Immunity Case...In Late April

[skews13]

Trump’s pretrial proceedings in D.C. will remain on hold until a ruling is issued, putting the Supreme Court in the politically fraught position of influencing the timing of a federal election-obstruction trial for the leading Republican presidential candidate.

The brief unsigned order issued Wednesday said the justices were not “expressing a view on the merits” of the case and would consider only the question of whether and to what extent a former president has "immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office.

Trump’s legal strategy is not to defend himself. It is to delay. This plays right into his strategy. I was hoping for better from the Supreme Court. Why? I have no idea. They have shown us who they are.

Dark days indeed.

Supreme Court to take up Trump's Immunity...in late April.

This is bad news for the voters of America. The Supreme Court has slow rolled this decision. They could have simply accepted the Appellate Court’s extremely strong ruling that he of course is not immune from all accountability for breaking laws while...

Dupe....But I'm glad you are depressed.

 

[JoeB131]

But does this really help you guys? It puts Trump's trials either during or closer to the election.

Days of testimony in September and October about how Trump tried to overthrow the election? I'm Joe Biden, and I approve of this message.

All trials are about delay, it is also how people defend themselves. Duh.

The prospect that an interlocutory appeal of an immunity question might affect a pending trial date is commonplace and routine. “Especially in cases of extraordinary public moment, the individual may be required to submit to delay not immoderate in extent and not oppressive in its consequences if the public welfare or convenience will thereby be promoted.” Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 248, 256 (1936).

“A mere assertion of delay does not constitute substantial harm. Some delay would be occasioned by almost all interlocutory appeals.” United States v. Philip Morris, Inc., 314 F.3d 612, 622 (D.C. Cir. 2003), jurisdictional ruling overruled by Mohawk Indus., Inc. v. Carpenter, 558 U.S. 100 (2009).​

If Trump loses, then Joe Biden is open to lawsuit by families of murder and other crime victims that are being perpetrated by Biden's Horde of Illegals.

So in turn Trump, Bush, Bush Sr., Clinton, Reagan etc etc would all be open to lawsuits?

I am not a lawyer so I would like to pick your legal acumen. What would the charge be?

I laid it out for Biden above.

Obama had two American citizens killed by drone. If there is no immunity after leaving office for a President, then the AG of Virginia can charge Obama with murder of both individuals since they were also citizens of Virginia.

 

[Mac1958]

Huge win for Trump. That case is pretty close to being toast.

You have a vivid imagination.

Clearly, there are several interceding acts between "let an alien in under current asylum laws Congress refused to fix" and "a murder happened committed by an illegal alien".

 

[JoeB131]

No, it's just delayed, stupid.

Will still probably kick off over the summer, assuming the court rules that Presidents have absolute immunity from ANY action unless they are impeached.

Um, no, they chose to place themselves in a war zone in a terrorist camp.

They really had no standing.

How strange that the SCOTUS could merely have examined the exact same arguments from the lower case and instead waited weeks to decide to wait two more months to then have a re-do.

How strange indeed.

No. He didn't. You are being disingenuous.

They were accidently killed during the drone strike.

No, they can't.

"But Paul Coggins, a former U.S. attorney in Texas, said there’s already well-established precedent that federal officials, including the president, are immune from prosecution for good-faith decisions they make while engaged in official business."

Trump warns of 'Pandora's box' of perpetual presidential prosecutions if charges against him stand

Donald Trump is warning that other ex-presidents could be prosecuted if criminal charges against him aren't dropped.

Unfortunately for Trump, assuming the charges are true, breaking the law to overturn an election does not fall in the category of good faith decisions.

Biden has all the authority he needs. He threw the border wide open.

Indeed, immigration judges are ordering people deported yet Biden is refusing to deport.

Not one murder, at least several recently. Plus all the other violent crimes being committed by Biden's Horde of Illegals.

He [Øbama] had them killed.

No. He (Obama) didn't.

Do you have a link for that claim so I can see what has you duped so severely?

YOu mean like that German family and their bullshit asylum claim?

Biden hardly threw the border wide open. He kept Title 42 in place longer than he should have. He also deported 143, 000 illegals in FY23.

Not one murder, at least several recently. Plus all the other violent crimes being committed by Biden's Horde of Illegals.

Again, none of which are directly Biden's fault. We could sue the gun industry for every gun murder, by your logic.

Supreme Court knows it will be a 9-0 decision against Trump but they gave him the delay he wants

Biden threw the border open. The numbers are 8+ million in a little over three years. No one is buying what you're selling.

Your illogic about the gun industry is typical of how leftoids divert from the facts in front of them.
