The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to decide whether former President Donald Trump can be tried on criminal charges that he conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In a one-page unsigned order, the justices ordered a federal appeals court to continue to keep on hold its ruling rejecting Trump’s claims of immunity from prosecution, and they fast-tracked the case for oral argument in late April.
Trump was indicted in Aug. 2023 on four counts arising from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan originally set a trial date of Mar. 4, 2024, for Trump’s case. But in early February, she threw that date out and indicated that she would set a new one “if and when” Trump’s immunity claims are resolved.
Chutkan had denied Trump’s motion to dismiss the charges against him on the ground that he is immune from prosecution. Smith came to the Supreme Court in December, asking the justices to review that decision without waiting for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to weigh in on Trump’s appeal, but they declined to do so.

If they rule against Trump, would that slo serve to limit “qualified immunity”. Especially since that’s just a made by-product of a judicial ruling.
The hush money case is criminal that’s the one in late march that’s the one I’m afraid of it’s New York he’ll be convicted in one second
A very highly esteemed law professor, very popular among the cable news channels …very knowledgeable in the law. Though he did say it’s anybody’s guess which way they’re gonna decide to rule, but him personally after reading the documents the Supreme Court justices are going to have to deal with what’s in the presentation. Truly said he is leaning more towards the SC ruling in favor Smith. I pray not🙏🏻
I think you mean Jonathan Turley?
Biden could be sued in a class action lawsuit for slandering folks who refused to take the vaxx.
He owes me one hundred billion dollars.
Yes I stand corrected….
All that means is no immunity from prosecution not that he’s found guilty. To Me Roberts will weasel word another convoluted decision and punt it back to the lower court
The real key is the ruling on his not being on ballot as I think us Trump supporters will vote for him regardless of any court rulings
There is also a Dr. Steve Turley on youtube...

His name is Jonathan Turley.
I suspect that scotus will once again 'give' more power to .gov via judicial fiat. That has been the trend for decades, continue giving power to our overlords.
Obama killed American citizens with drones. (Insert Michael Jackson popcorn gif). I can’t wait for that lawsuit …
For those who attack the idea, there's a remedy specified in the constitution but Trump wasn't impeached & removed and fighting for accurate elections is hardly a threat to democracy, insurrection, etc. John Roberts didn't even preside over the 2nd impeachment. What's that tell you?
J6 was no insurrection. It was a riot and likely an optics trap by the Left.
Keep Trump off the ballot for "insurrection" is something SCOTUS has to shut down if it aims to protect the nation.
sorry for the spelling errors...don’t really care enough to look up. Anyways:
No immunity (sotomayer, brown, kagan, barrett, roberts, kavanaugh)
Immunity (Thomas, Gorsuch, Alito)
6-3
Barrett and Kavanaugh will be heavily and politically influened) JMH
Delicious MSNBC Tears over the timing of SCOTUS taking up Trump’s Immunity Case ! ! !
