The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to review a fast-tracked petition asking if Donald Trump can use his status as a former president to claim immunity from criminal charges related to his effort to overturn the 2020 election.
What backup plan is possible if scotus grants him blank immunity? I think his thinking was just to speed things up since it’s going to end up there anyways.
Why would they “cover” for Trump? Do you imagine they feel beholden to him for appointing them? They are not; Past, present or future. They’ve already refused to hear Trump related cases, and that hurt him.
And yes, even if it goes against him, they will keep the scope of the ruling dialed in tight. That’s how law and judgments work at this highest level. And should.

You mean like Bush v Gore which explicitly said it could never be used as a precedent, and yet commonly is?
On the flip side, Jack Smith has been incredibly thorough. He wouldn’t ask if he didn’t have a backup plan.

Yep, this is 100% about getting ahead of all of the delays that trumps team will seek to drag this out past the election.
I’ll concede on that point. I still don’t trust it though.
