The US Supreme Court on Tuesday responded to President Trump’s emergency application requesting the high court pause the immunity ruling in Jack Smith’s January 6 case in DC.

Chief Justice Roberts on Tuesday responded to Trump’s emergency request and told Special Counsel Jack Smith he has a week to respond.

The Supreme Court gave Jack Smith until Tuesday, February 20 to file a response to Trump’s request to pause the appellate court’s ruling on immunity.

Last week a federal appeals court stacked with Biden judges denied Trump immunity in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 DC case.

The three-judge panel for the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Trump immunity claims: Florence Pan (Biden appointee), Michelle Childs (Biden appointee), and Karen Henderson (George W. Bush appointee).

“We have balanced former President Trump’s asserted interests in executive immunity against the vital public interests that favor allowing this prosecution to proceed,” the three-judge panel wrote.

“We conclude that ‘concerns of public policy, especially as illuminated by our history and the structure of our government’ compel the rejection of his claim of immunity in this case,” they wrote.

Cool it. What Roberts could have done is said no we are not doing this. In all legal proceeding due process requires that the other side have the right to respond. 1 week is actually a short period of time for something like this, but the COA gave Trump a very short time to appeal, thinking perhaps that the USSC would reject it out of hand and they could start putting Trump in jail.

“The simple fact is that with regard to January 6th Trump did nothing criminally wrong.”

You are correct. Not only did he do nothing wrong, but in his speech that day he explicitly stated to his audience not to do anything harmful. It’s on video, which for some strange reason isn’t being shown on the networks. Same as all the other video where nothing harmful was done.

Here is the problem. Politicians cannot be held individually accountable for lies or other activities which a citizen would go to jail for. As an example, Representative Schiff lied for years about Trump, but the only way he can be held accountable is at the ballot box. That needs to change.

President is not immune in the absolute sense. Congress holds the President accountable via impeachment.

“Apples & Oranges argument presented. What Trump did was nothing more than losing candidates do when they lose the general election, question its legitimacy.”

Gore did it in 2000.

Kerry did it in 2004.

Hillary went above and beyond that in 2016.

Then there was the various demshevik congresscritters like mad Maxine who openly called for violence.

And the dnc lapdogs of the MSM fanning the flames....

Yet none of them were held accountable for what they said or did.
