Did the Supreme Court just ensure that Trump goes to prison in nine days?
The Supreme Court handed Trump a big victory in the immunity case, but at what price for Trump and for the country?
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard that Donald Trump just won big in the Supreme Court in the presidential immunity case, but here are some details in case you missed the news:
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of former President Donald Trump on Monday, holding in a 6-3 decision that presidents are covered by limited immunity from criminal prosecutions for actions taken while in office.
The Court also ruled that a president is entitled to a pretrial hearing on immunity that can be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court before a trial begins.
This means that any trial of the former president will take place after the November 5, 2024, election.
The case will now be remanded, and will likely result in the dismissal of some or all of the charges facing the former president in federal court in Washington, D.C., relating to the Capitol riot of January 6.
So this is great news for Trump, right? Or is it? 🤔
