I’m glad for the decision, but any kid who had a Civics class (remember those) would have given the same answer.

Not for too long if the SCOTUS lets it stand. I think he gets 30 days to appeal? So he’ll use all of that, but SCOTUS may not touch it. If they don’t, then there could still be a trial and verdict before the GOP convention in July. Which would be sweet.

After four weeks of intensive, sober, scholarly, ponderous pondering, with the nation perched on the edge of its seat, the Court ruled 1) that ex-president Trump could not commit murder, rape, and pillage, and/or theft of Dunkin Donuts while remaining immune from prosecution, and 2), that 2+2 did not equal 5 just because “Fat Donnie” (an obscure legal nomenclature) said it did.

After their exhausting labors, the court declared that it was giving itself the week off.

So, can Jack Smith just move forward, expecting trump to respect this decision or does he have to wait a month for the a-hole to drag it out further? I don’t think Jack lets grass grow under his feet, so he should be able to move on it, no?

This should bolster his 14th amendment claims…

The breach delayed the congressional proceedings for several hours and it was not until
the early morning of January 7th that the 2020 presidential election results were certified, naming Joseph R. Biden as the soon-to-be 46th President. Since then, hundreds of people who breached the Capitol on January 6, 2021, have been prosecuted and imprisoned.
