The U.S. Supreme Court has set April 25 as the date it will hear Donald Trump’s claim of presidential immunity from prosecution on charges related to his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss - the last day of oral arguments of its current term.
The court released its updated argument calendar a week after it agreed to take up the case and gave the former president a boost by putting on hold the criminal prosecution being pursued by Special Counsel Jack Smith. It previously had disclosed which week it would hear the matter but had not given the precise date.
The justices will review a lower court’s rejection of Trump’s claim of immunity from prosecution because he was president when he took actions aimed at reversing President Joe Biden’s election victory over him.
They’re going to say that in this specific situation he has immunity but will severely limit the scope of the ruling so that it doesn’t apply to any other president ever.
Calling it now.
You might as well call August being warm or Christmas gifts of socks underwhelming.
Woah there. Gifts of socks as a child, terrible gift. Gifts of socks as an adult, best Christmas gift.
