"Has the Supreme Court sent a message to the Special Counsel Jack Smith by agreeing in the same 48 period to 1) review quickly whether they will decide directly whether Trump has immunity from prosecution; and 2) decide if the DOJ is properly using the main criminal count against Trump—obstruction of an official proceeding? Michael Popok of Legal AF explains that the Supremes don’t do anything by accident as they decide in the same term whether to set Jan6 defendants AND Trump free."
From the Meidas Touch
I agree with Michael Popok, that there are at least 5-9 U.S. Supreme Court Justices who think we as a country need to know whether or not Donald J. Trump is an insurrectionist, before the 2024 presidential election and that alone is why they'll take Special Counsel Jack Smith's direct appeal on the presidential immunity question or not.
Of course Donald Trump and his legal team will hate that, because they'll probably lose that decision and then would ultimately be convicted simply because of the evidence against DJT and the fact this trial will be in Washington, but only because that's where these crimes were convicted.
I think DJT will lose at the Supreme Court, again because of the evidence against him, the fact that he's running for President again in 2024. But I don't see 5 votes up there to give not just this former President, but future former President's, or President Joe Biden for the remainder of his presidency, or future current President's, presidential immunity, when it comes to criminal prosecution.
What we know about at least 7, if not 8 of the current U.S. Supreme Court Justices, including the 3 that then President Donald Trump appointed, is that they're not there to save Donald Trump's neck. (To put it mildly) They are there to interpret the law and rule of the constitutionality of current laws.
We know that the current SCOTUS is not there to save DJT's neck, because of all the rulings against then President Trump back in 2020, when he was trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election and just automatically get himself declared the winner of that election, regardless of the final vote tallies in the Electoral College.
I'm thinking even Justice Sam Alito will rule against DJT because all the power it would give future Democratic President's and not just DJT. And perhaps just Clarence Thomas rules in favor of DJT, or doesn't make any ruling at all, because he doesn't want to lose 8-1 on a case this important.
