Highly unlikely (as in almost ZERO chance) they will grant blanket presidential immunity.
They will probably kick the question back to the lower court to discern which are "official" acts, covered by presidential immunity, and which are not.
That decision will then be appealed to SCOTUS. This process will take months.
Yep, LOTS of months.
You’re saying that the ruling will be 5-4 (or worse) against DJT? How do they kick it back to the lower court if not ruling against him?
After the embarrassing Manhattan clown show, that ship has sailed. If a majority was inclined towards limited immunity, that all changed. It’ll be a much broader affirmation of immunity.
Even Bragg’s case will be well within the blast radius. Note that the case alleged that major felonies were committed by Trump after he was sworn in.
This is the nature of being the sole elected official of the executive branch. The President can't "punch a timeclock" every time he starts doing an "official" act and then punch out when he's done with that act. Then next whisper in his ear might be a national emergency, whether he's giving a speech on the Mall or having dinner with donors.
Rahm Emanuel famously told Obama to "never let a crisis go to waste." What's going to happen when the Democrats and the LAAP-dog media figure out how create a crisis by entrapping the President into "non-core" acts and then begin harassing him over his liabilities due to those acts?
I would like to see SCOTUS close that door forever by declaring the President's existence in office as being "core" to the job.
