Donald Trump had a fantastic day in the Supreme Court today (Liberals are now panicking)

Thursday’s argument in Trump v. United States was a disaster for Special Counsel Jack Smith, and for anyone who believes that the president of the United States should be subject to prosecution if they commit a crime.

...permit Trump to delay his federal criminal trial for attempting to steal the 2020 election...

People should get punched in the mouth very hard for telling such a lie.

The election was stolen. Trump was trying to prove it. We have the proof now, but so many people rushed to accept the results of the corrupt election that we now have to live with a corrupt, perverted, senile idiot.

If SCOTUS rules Trump does not have presidential immunity, then lawsuits need to fly the day the ruling is issued against former presidents Obama and Clinton. (of course, the corrupt courts will protect them, but would love to see a thousand lawsuits on Day One.)

Likely result remand to lower court to flesh out what were official acts and private ones. Hopefully, the trial will be delayed beyond Election Day.

At least five of the Court’s Republicans seemed eager to, at the very least, permit Trump to delay his federal criminal trial...

Except that's not the issue before the Court.

What awful, tendentious writing!

"[The author has] argued that [Trump's] immunity case was primarily about delaying Trump’s trial until after the election.

It's as if the author thinks Trump brought the case!?!? Though claiming to have gone to law school, the author apparently believes Trump knew there was no such thing as presidential immunity and should have simply lain down in front the prosecutors and said, "Just crucify me now already!"

Policemen have immunity! Prosecutors have immunity! Judges have immunity! A president should simply curl up and let partisans like Biden, Garland, and the the likes of Strzok at the DOJ be free to second-guess everything an ex-president might have done while in office in the hopes of bankrupting him and throwing him in prison?

“Justice Amy Coney Barrett, meanwhile, pointed to the fact that Sauer drew a distinction between prosecuting a president for “official” behavior (which Sauer said is not allowed), and prosecuting a president for his “private” conduct (which Sauer conceded is permitted). Barrett also argued that many of the charges against Trump, such as his work with private lawyers and political consultants to overthrow the 2020 election, qualify as private conduct and thus could still be prosecuted.”

Trump was still President when he and his lawyers tried to bring the election fraud to the courts and was official business, not private conduct.

And the one GOP appointee who seemed to hedge the most, Chief Justice John Roberts,...

Disgusting!

she’s nuts because it was still official business in that he was working to establish the truth about fraudulent theft of elections AND/OR working towards re election, which is considered official business.

“Now you know,” Roberts told Dreeben, “how easy it is in many cases for a prosecutor to get a grand jury to bring an indictment. And reliance on the good faith of the prosecutor may not be enough in some cases

We've seen the Soros 'prosecutors ' and they're people who feel the law is their personal sledgehammer to damage the people they disagree with.

Seems like Roberts just slapped Smith across the face with that statement.
