The Trump Crime Family - Legal Issues

Special counsel asks Supreme Court to immediately decide if Trump is immune from Jan. 6 prosecution
The court said it would consider on an expedited basis whether to hear the case, an indication that it takes special counsel Jack Smith’s request seriously.

We'll soon find out whether this SCOTUS is hopelessly corrupt or not.

We can only wait and hope it will be a quick decision. You are correct in stating this decision will tell of the courts beliefs in the constitution.

As we have seen some on the SC can have variable interpretations of the Constitution. I won't be surprised to see some blather of "protections of the office". The rock and hard place will be trying to exclude Biden from such protections from prosecution for "imagined offenses" before he got into office with the justification for prosecuting him for said "imagined offenses", that occured before he got into office.

Gee, would Donny actually lie about such a thing? : rolleyes:

Wonder if any of those intel officials were signatories to the 2020 "Russian disinformation" letter...

Nah, Intel officials would never lie.

I thought the left was all about SCOTUS opinions being "the law of the land"?

The Reich-wing influenced, far right leaning, politically corrupted (certain ones anyway) SC? More like law of the ultra conservative far right contributors and evangelicals.

Rulings, not opinions. Doesn't law of the land apply to everyone?

[Pio1980]

Whether the president has absolute unaccountable authority is the core question.
The real issue should be reviewing the powers vs the accountability of a rogue presidency declaring themselves exempt from Constitutional law the forefathers feared a potential flaw in a democracy making such a choice.
"A republic, if you can keep it". We see plainly there are those who would prefer dominance of power by autocratic control to the rule of constitutional law by cancelling its constraints.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments whether they should make a quick ruling on this, not to rule on the actual appeal itself which will bypass the appellate process if they actually decide on this. I just do not see how the Supreme Court wriggles out of this one, in effect letting an multi indicted felon run for the highest office, especially since his coup was in public. We already know how Alioto and Thomas will vote, so its up to the remaining five. They have short circuited the appeals process before, so nowhere to hide.

Ah, OK. So SCOTUS rulings are "the law of the land" or "settled law" when you agree with those rulings. When you don't agree, the court is "far right leaning", and "politically corrupted". Got it. Thank you for clarifying.
