The ruling is significant not only for its stark repudiation of Trump’s novel immunity claims but also because it breathes life back into a landmark prosecution that had been effectively frozen for weeks as the court considered the appeal.
Yet the one-month gap between when the court heard arguments and issued its ruling has already created uncertainty about the timing of a trial in a calendar-jammed election year, with the judge overseeing the case last week canceling the initial March 4 date.
Trump’s team vowed to appeal, which could postpones the case by weeks or months — particularly if the Supreme Court agrees to take it up. The judges gave Trump a week to ask the Supreme Court to get involved.
Hi, Im from the future. The supreme court just needs to fiddle-fuck around for a bit at which point merrick garland says it would be political to continue prosecution so close to the election and scuttles the whole deal. Afterall this decision should really be left up to the voters right? Isnt that what democracy is? Same merrick garland that stalled for 2 years for trump on the front end. Fucking slow motion car crash this shit.
This is the same bait and switch used with the mueller report. Trump will roll into the election screaming “Totally exhonerated, witch hunt”. Sound familiar.
