That would be great news...
But SCOTUS has been so corrupted, one can no longer have any confidence they will do what is Constitutionally right.
That’s true - and I don’t think the ruling on immunity will be 9-0..
There is a huge difference between the two cases. In the case of removing a leading presidential candidate from the ballot, intuition works in Trump’s favor because it’s hard to justify Democrat judges in Colorado telling the people who they can and cannot vote for. It screams of anti-democracy. Any SC Justice who supports removing him will have to explain why that’s fair and why preventing voters from voting for who they want in any way strengthens democracy. It’s a tough sell and I doubt any of the Justices will fall on that sword.
in the case of Presidential immunity, intuition works against Trump, because it’s hard to argue with the cliche “no one is above the law”. There is good reason for presidential immunity, but the reason is subtle - and therefore I expect more dissent.
