The Supreme Court Is Doing Trump’s Campaign Work for Him
The Supreme Court on Wednesday indicated that it will weigh in on former President Donald Trump’s sweeping claims that he is immune from prosecution for the events surrounding the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
It also set the date for oral argument on the case for late April, which could delay the trial brought by special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump until the fall at the earliest, if it goes ahead at all.
While all of this should raise grave concerns that the Supreme Court is picking sides, two issues underlying this procedural development should stand out, and raise significant questions about the callous disregard for the rule of law this ruling presents.
