Democratic lawmakers are sounding the alarm over what they see as conservative justices and judges tipping the scales in favor of former President Trump in two federal cases.
The two cases accuse the former president of attempting to subvert the 2020 election and obstructing justice related to his handling of classified documents.
Some Democratic senators suggest conservative justices on the Supreme Court are playing politics by slow-walking special counsel Jack Smith’s case related to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, so that there’s no chance of it reaching a verdict before Election Day.
And they are perplexed that District Judge Aileen Cannon has let Smith’s case on Trump’s handling of classified documents get bogged down in complex and arcane legal arguments over the Presidential Records Act, which prosecutors say has nothing to do with the case.
The bottom line is that Democrats doubt that two of the strongest criminal cases against Trump, including the more serious charge that he sought to overturn the results of the last presidential election, will reach a verdict before November.
Democratic senators felt exasperated by last week’s oral arguments before the Supreme Court, during which multiple justices in the conservative majority appeared open to the Trump legal team’s arguments that the former president should be given broad immunity for anything related to an official act, such as communicating to his supporters on Jan. 6 before they marched on Capitol Hill.

“Conservative” meaning not communist enough.
Democrats Lawfare to railroad Trump ain’t working and they are angry.

Yes, the Presidential Records Act has NOTHING to do with Presidential Records...
Unredacted is a $2 word, therefore arcane. This idiot couldn’t even give the definition for arcane if asked.
Smith’s case on Trump’s handling of classified documents get bogged down in complex and arcane legal arguments over the Presidential Records Act, which prosecutors say has nothing to do with the case...[because they want to disregard the actual Act because it wrecks most of their case]
Reading judge cannons rulings on the documents case it is clear as day Trump was setup by Biden and NARA. It’s almost like Trump is entitled to due process and not a kangaroo court like the New York trials funny how that works.
I was educated in the old system. We were taught that referees and judges can not play favorites in order for there to be fairness.
That’s why Cannon is Supreme Court material she is literally forcing them to admit that they set this thing up to get the guy
