It could take months for the justices to issue an opinion. If they rule that the election case can go forward, Trump could be on trial shortly before the November presidential election.

    2 months… what the fuck. The fact they did not take it up on the request of jack Smith is nonsense. Then this would have been done with.

    But let them rule on the immunity nonsense. Get it over with. And then put him up on trial.

    Also state charges should continue!

      Between this and the even more nonsensical 14th Amendment ruling a few days ago, the Supreme Court has absolutely jettisoned every last single shred of credibility it might have still had. It is now 10000% crystal fucking clear that it is firmly in Trump’s pocket, and will do everything in its power to install him as dictator. Game over, we lose.

      History is going to record McConnell denying Obama his rightful Supreme Court appointment as the tipping point at which American democracy’s downfall was assured.
