Supreme Court to decide Trump immunity claim
- Thread starter Bowlmania
- Start date
I'm sure he does. He's the prosecutor and he apparently thinks he has a strong winning case, so I'm not surprised. Personally, I'd like to see it go faster too. Seems to me that Americans should know if one of the candidates is a convicted felon before election day. You don't agree that it's an important thing to know? It was important that voters knew that HRC wasn't facing a conviction when the voters voted in 2016 too. I think she was guilty of gross negligence (which is a crime under the law), and I didn't vote for her, but not only because of that. I think we had two pathetic choices in 2016.

I predict a unanimous decision against immunity, at worst 8 to 1.
SCOTUS isn't refusing to expedite. I'd prefer that they do it faster, but according to every report I've read they're actually taking an expedited approach to the case.
You think he did nothing illegal because you believe any and everything that Trump says. You're a slavishly devoted Trump sycophant. You should be embarrassed by your worshipful behavior toward Trump. You have TDS. Your extreme devotion to Trump has made you deranged and destroyed all your objectivity. Did you pledge an oath to support and defend Trump as your savior?
Do you think the Supremes and find no absolute immunity apples to the office of president, or will they rule absolute immunity exists but this conduct is not within that scope? If they rely on the latter, wouldn’t there need to be an evidentiary record and findings about what Trump intended?

I don’t think you need to be a Trump sycophant to find he didn’t commit a crime. But Guilt or innocence isnot the same as immunity or no immunity.
FWIW, if Trump is convicted on the KKK statute, I think Blinken should also be in prison. His public fraud was more effective and according to polling, made a difference.
No trial before the election now. Looks like BIden will have to win fair and square now. You know let the voters actaully decide.
Then he needs to come out with new MAGA products in a hurry.
Edit to ask: Didn't Trump wait until the last possible day to file his request? He knew his liquidity status but delayed once again.
The same liberals who cheer on all the left wing judges in NYC are now mad because the Supreme Court is following regular proceedure and did not ram a decision through. Just comical. I thought Trump was so easy to beat so why is bowlmania and his crew so mad? Biden should easily be able to beat trump if trump is as awful as they claim he is. Why do they need the courts?
You only say that because you're just as partisan against the Republican appointed justices as some are as partisan against the Democrat appointed justices. This Supreme Court has issued many unanimous decisions and has ruled against Trump on several occasions.
As I posted elsewhere, in Bush v Gore, SCOTUS issued its ruling exactly one day after oral arguments due to the pressing importance of the issue.
This time they are stumbling along like it's just another case. They should have expedited it, but three of them are Trump appointees and two others are just as radical, so .....
No. Trump didn't appeal the AC decision until 17 days ago (16 since the day of that appeal). That's when the clock started. SCOTUS doesn't just jump in and take up an issue without it going through the process.
In Bush v Gore, SCOTUS issued its ruling one day after oral argument, about one month altogether after the 2000 election. Now, that's expediting a case.
No question the current SCOTUS could move faster if it wanted.
Prosecutors and judges get convicted of DUI all the time. They aren't as immune as you think.
I won't dispute that I'm highly suspicious of those justices.
What did you make of SCOTUS' use of "alleged" and "involved" in that order?
At least the latter. I actually don't think the President should have absolute immunity at all. Sure, immunity from frivolous prosecutions and lawsuits related to policy. However, if Biden decided Harris was such a drag on his ticket that he decided to off her and try to make it look like an accident, should he have immunity from a murder prosecution when he's caught? Absolute immunity to commit serious crimes seems absurd to me.
A determination hasn’t been made.
None of this matters. Trump won. He won’t be tried before the election. He wins the presidency and is never tried or loses the election and the public doesn’t care what happens to trump.
Trump Biden 2024. Sad
As I said previously, that was under entirely different circumstances and the deadline for resolving that was very rapidly approaching.
I read the document case indictment. Again, I'm not a lawyer, but I really think Trump is probably toast on that one. Rightly so too. I'm sick of civilians getting off or getting off lightly in highly classified document cases.
I don't know what the KKK statute is. However, if you think Blinken is guilty of violating it then I guess you'd consider Trump guilty of violating it too.
The only trial this impacts is the election case in DC. The others can go forward. Now there's actually more room to make them happen as they need to coordinate so Trump is only facing one trial at a time because he has a right to be at the trials.
You may want to rethink that.

I must say that if Trump gets what he wants and wins the election we're gonna have a lot of people on here that will have to go to the funny farm afterwards. 🤣 🤣
Pretty weak since the vast majority of the criminal allegations all occurred while he was ex-President Trump. I doubt that one will go anywhere.You may want to rethink that.

TO the inverse of MLK's great message; Justice ramrodded to prevent a proper defense from being developed, is justice denied. (or in short, It's Dem's and Rhino's (I know that is redundant) committing election interference against their leading opponent) (or even shorter, its Centralized Autocracy or Forcible Suppression of Opposition). It's being done in a pretty obvious way, really).
I guess I'm used to it and don't see this as anything out of the ordinary. Hell, I have three cases right now in three different courts that have been fully briefed for a year and the judges haven't done anything. In relation to that, the SCt is acting as light speed.
I see nothing that isn't totally obvious about that ask. Is he building in his own mistrial options?
“Deranged Jack Smith” might be Trumps most apt nickname of all time. Look at this guy. The sunken eyes, disheveled hair. His persecutions have been overturned unanimously in the past by SCOTUS because of bullshit like this.
I would bet you big money he self-flagellates. A crazy, deranged man.
This isn't a trial, it's a hearing on a preposterous theory of "total, absolute immunity." It's obvious to me the Court doesn't appreciate the urgency involved in deciding this issue, which of course plays into Trump's hands. They've even gone so far as to reframe the question, giving themselves the opportunity to parse their ruling in such a manner as to send it back down to the District or Appeals Court for further hearings and deliberations. Delay delay delay.
