CNN — The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a request by special counsel Jack Smith to fast-track arguments on whether Donald Trump has any immunity from federal prosecution for alleged crimes he committed while in office – a move that will likely delay his trial.
The court did not explain its reasoning and there were no noted dissents.

“The former president, Smith told the justices, “stands accused of serious crimes because the grand jury followed the facts and applied the law.”
No, the grand jury listened, perhaps mindlessly, to a litany of uncontested accusations, not facts.
SCOTUS is going to refuse to interfere in this election. Will allow Trump on the ballots and no trial until after 2024 election. Letting the people decide.
I wonder if this is meaningful.
Correction..the Grand Jury, full of Trump haters, not wanting Trump to win in 2024, decided to be commie dictators and charge Trump with crimes he did NOT commit
Hard to say. It might be as simple as “how dare you short circuit the process, you hack. By the way, Ed Meese says hello.”
Four posts already on this subject. I think you were first.
It’s the right decision and they don’t need to comment on why they did it. There is a process. You don’t get to jump straight to the USSC to decide issues, you have to get lower courts to rule first.
Yeah. Its ok. Christmas is coming up.
For once, CNN used the phrase “alleged crimes” in connection with Trump. Usually, they omit the “alleged” part.

I can sum up all of the charges against Trump really quick…
• He’s charged with having an opinion that the global tyrants won’t tolerate.
• He’s charged with stating that opinion as if he has a Right to free speech.
• And he’s charged with peaceably assembling his supporters for redress of their growing number of grievances.
All of these things are protected by the Constitution and Bill of Rights, not to mention by Executive Privilege of a sitting and former President as well. No decent legitimate court anywhere on earth would ever even entertain such charges, certainly not in any “land of the free.”
Eggs zactly! They will do same thing in Colorado case which has a “stay” as long as Trumps team challenges it before Jan 3...and if they do the “stay” remains in effect the ballots are printed, the vote comes forward and then they may take up the case. It’s in that 213 page ruling if anyone on piranha frenzied media cares to read it!
LEX
As predicted.
leftist heads are exploding rn
crying tears
That’s a pretty clear statement on our status as a land of the free...
“allow Trump on the ballots”
My concern is shenanigans at the election supervisor and precinct level regardless of what the SCOTUS says
