I agree with Albion. They are going to have to find some weasel words in support without actually supporting him.
I can’t see how the court can agree with Trump. It would set such a dangerous precedent. And surely it would give the sitting president, ie Biden the ability to do crazy things now against Trump.
But who knows in this crazy world.
I don't think they can be trusted. Even former Judge Michael Luttig, a right wing constitutional scholar, seemed incredulous that this is even being considered by the Supreme Court.
You have SC justices who are shown to be corrupt, in the pockets of billionaire right wing donors and who fail to recuse themselves where there is a conflict of interest.
The foot dragging over the decision as to whether Trump should appear on the Colorado ballot.
The foot dragging as to whether to hear the immunity issue.
Roe v Wade seemed to be settled law until this group came along.
And despite the numerous mass killings and thousands of deaths every year with guns, what does this court do, but strike down a New York law in place for decades concerning concealed handguns.
I can see them turning round and everyone got it wrong with Nixon.
Edit. Or alternatively, there is only presidential immunity in certain circumstances, but by the time they release that decision, Judge Chutkan's hearing in the DC trial is screwed because of the run up to the election. Meanwhile, in Florida,the Trump appointed judge Aileen Cannon, is doing her own job of screwing up the hearing in the classified documents case, so that will not get heard before the election.
