Special Counsel Jack Smith Moves To Fast-Track Trump Immunity Claim To SCOTUS - TPM – Talking Points Memo

Special Counsel Jack Smith asked the Supreme Court on Monday to take up Donald Trump’s claim of presidential immunity, seeking to speed up a question which could delay the former president’s trial on charges he conspired to subvert the 2020. The trial is currently scheduled for March 4, 2024 in D.C.

That’s going to sting just a little. Poor little man is so transparent.

Trump needs to be careful what he wishes for. He’s not currently the President. If Presidents are immune there is nothing, except morality, to stop Joe from killing him. Don’t advocate for dictatorial powers when you aren’t in power.

Those screams you are hearing are Dong’s lawyers as they realized they just shit their pants.

This is not what they expected to happen so soon.

Cut to the quick - the more time Trump has to bandy the idea about the bigger it plays with the Rightwing Media. Kudos, Jack Smith.

At least we can count on the Supreme Court’s good judgment, measured reasoning, and love for beer.

Dong - I love it. Just right to the point.

It’s a true shame his name isn’t Bilbo.

Smith is BRILLIANT. Imagine if SCOTUS ruled for Trump, he’d also be ruling for Joe Biden, who could then go ahead and bypass Congress and all the rules to get done what he needs to do: full immunity. Hahahaha.

As I posted on the previous thread “Jack Smith is struggling…” assumes facts not in evidence.

Or, perhaps, love of their own lives. If Biden has full immunity what stops him from executing the conservative Supreme Court justices?

Jack Smith has a mind like a bear trap! There’s nothing like witnessing a skilled prosecutor prosecute!!

Reasons?

I expect that there’s a pre-written 6-3 decision on this sitting around waiting to be dated.
