The Supreme Court Has Already Given Trump What He Wants in the Immunity Case
The Supreme Court Has Already Given Trump What He Wants in the Immunity Case - Mother Jones The justices have repeatedly aided Trump’s election prospects by delaying his trial.Trump’s theory of immunity is unprecedented and, taken to its logical conclusion, incompatible with democracy. As his lawyer told the appeals court panel, under his theory, a president could order the assassination of a political rival and, unless he were impeached for it, escape prosecution. And as in Trump’s case, a president could attempt to overturn an electoral loss—the very mechanism by which democracy functions—without facing repercussions. But even if a majority of the justices reject Trump’s claims, they may still serve his goal of insulating him from prosecution—perhaps indefinitely.
