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...

It’s completely normal for decisions in controversial or politically fraught cases to be announced in late June.
lolol...
Their daughter is the best looking member of that family.
“...The court is dominated by conservatives...”
Is not.
There are only about 2.5.
You were just kidding about that “nice day” thing, right?
Who is the gay guy without glasses to the right of the woman?
I see their “child” is a furry and prefers the pronouns here boy and that’s a good girl.
They are trying to assassinate the character of the Conservative Justices, when that doesn’t work,...gee...I wonder what they would do next?
Her nose runs forever.
All of a sudden, the Slimes is now worried about potential skullduggery in the justice system? Well, color me shocked.
The NYT is a tabloid.
I don’t think anyone will be happy with their decision, including Biden. Official acts and duties, but that should be all. Claims like Biden recently refusing to turn over interview shouldn’t be covered.
The court is dominated by evil conservatives nominated by even more evil Republican presidents
My right or your right?
But always remember, Trump got a fair trial and we have to “respect the legal system.”
Oh my! Betcha Leah got a strap-on for Christmas - from hubby, for hubby. Bwahahahaha!
One of those pics where the guy looks like a girl and the girl looks like a guy.
Nope , the Supremes usually wait for late June when releasing their most controversial decisions . The net here the presidents will receive immunity in most situations.
