Donald Trump opposes the special counsel’s request for the Supreme Court to decide right now whether he has any immunity from federal prosecution for alleged crimes he committed while in office, lawyers for the former president told the justices in court papers Wednesday.

Special counsel Jack Smith asked the high court last week to review a lower-court ruling that Trump, as a former president, is not immune from the election subversion criminal case. Smith in his appeal to the justices asked them to take the rare step of reviewing the issue before a federal appeals court in Washington, DC, weighs in.

But Trump, whose legal strategy in the case so far has largely revolved around attempts to delay the proceedings, told the justices that Smith should not be able to leapfrog over the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit to resolve the critical issue.

    ☝️this is you arguing whether the court should or shouldn’t do something.

    you can be verbose or succinct; it changes nothing other than the time amount of you waste.

        You didn’t even read the comment, did you?

        I did. the part of my comment you didn’t read is that it changes nothing.

        You’re right, this is a waste of time.

        that’s why I said it
