For those looking for the hidden hand of politics in what the Supreme Court does, there’s plenty of reason for suspicion on Donald Trump’s as-yet-undecided immunity case given its urgency. There are, of course, explanations that have nothing to do with politics for why a ruling still hasn’t been issued. But the reasons to think something is rotten at the court are impossible to ignore.
On Feb. 28, the justices agreed to hear Mr. Trump’s claim that he is immune from prosecution on charges that he plotted to subvert the 2020 election. The court scheduled oral arguments in the case for the end of April. That eight-week interval is much quicker than the ordinary Supreme Court briefing process, which usually extends for at least 10 weeks. But it’s considerably more drawn out than the schedule the court established earlier this year on a challenge from Colorado after that state took Mr. Trump off its presidential primary ballot. The court agreed to hear arguments on the case a mere month after accepting it and issued its decision less than a month after the argument. Mr. Trump prevailed, 9-0.
Nearly two months have passed since the justices heard lawyers for the former president and for the special counsel’s office argue the immunity case. The court is dominated by conservatives nominated by Republican presidents. Every passing day further delays a potential trial on charges related to Mr. Trump’s efforts to remain in office after losing the 2020 election and his role in the events that led to the storming of the Capitol; indeed, at this point, even if the court rules that Mr. Trump has limited or no immunity, it is unlikely a verdict will be delivered before...

Their staffs are running the show, not the justices themselves. I fear the same thing is going on in Congress. We need treason trials and executions, badly.
If it were Biden would she say the same thing?.......Because it affects him, too................
…who did not intervene in seating Bidet as President.
Sooooooo….why are you concerned, Leah? Btw, she’s the one on the right.
RE: We need treason trials and executions, badly.
And leave DC as a ghost town with tumbleweeds blowing across the deserted roads?
Actually, maybe an improvement.
Dear Leah,
We Don’t Believe You Anymore, About Anything.
Have a nice day.
Their daughter has a strange look.
I’m waiting for the New New York Times to run a story “Something’s Rotten about the Democrats’ Abuse of the Legal System to Punish Political Opponents.”
It sounds like the New York Times is worried about what’s taking so long, because they are eager to get more show Trials of Trump going before the election.
The Supreme Court taking time interrupts the plans of those who wanted Trump tried and convicted before the election.
Their plans will be completely upset if Trump wins reelectionu and then you get into the issues of trying a sitting president for these alleged crimes.
NYT Translation: “We can’t write pot-stiring articles about how evil the supreme court is if they don’t actually rule on the Trump case, so we are going to write articles calling them evil anyway”
The left is desperate to get Trump convicted by a DC kangaroo court. I don’t know why. It doesn’t matter.
Yep.
It’s the glasses.
Ah.
I’ve noticed the concerted campaign of the Democrats and media on the Supreme Court.
They think Trump will win in the court and are beginning their Ministry of Truth attack on the court’s legitimacy.
Actual sedition.
I see the problem...they need more soy.
I know there are a lot of people giddy about what this decision may give Trump, but haven’t factored that it will extend to Biden and the next dem/liberal the same protections.

Things that make you go, hmmmm.
The Slimes think things are Rotten?
Good! Whatever they think - believe the opposite.
So they can call him a “convicted felon.”
They love stuff like that.
Btw, she’s the one on the right.
