Supreme Court rules Trump is entitled to some immunity in Jan. 6 case

It was expected that they would find a way to delay the trial. It will take time to sort it out....

 

As Roberts stated: "The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law."

 

 

 

So the notion that he can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it is now void. But we all knew that. 

 

I've always thought impeachment was the constitutional answer. It's tragic that became a political football.

Sorry Jack!


Cannon hasn’t made a decision on if 

Jack Smith hiring ,is legal. If you remember former AGMeese filed a amicus brief arguing that he must be duly appointed by law. That being said ,Only Congress makes laws .


In a separate opinion from the Immunity case Judge Thomas wrote:

 

"If this unprecedented prosecution is to proceed, it must be conducted by someone duly authorized to do so by the American people. The lower courts should thus answer these essential questions concerning the special counsel's appointment before proceeding," Thomas added.

Whats left of jacks case in DC is going back down to Judge Chutkin as a result of the SCOTUS Immunity  decisions.

Her opinion from what seems like a eternity!

 

“Former Presidents enjoy no special conditions on their federal criminal liability,” Chutkan wrote. “Defendant may be subject to federal investigation, indictment, prosecution, conviction, and punishment for any criminal acts undertaken while in office.”

Seems like a sensible ruling. The lower courts will work out over time the details of what's 'official' and what isn't.

 

The world changes, events happen, and the law evolves. Just as it should.
