Special counsel urges Supreme Court to reject Trump’s immunity claim
Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday urged the Supreme Court to reject Donald Trump’s “novel and sweeping” claim that he is immune from criminal prosecution on charges of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
“The President’s constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed does not entail a general right to violate them,” Smith said in his office’s main brie…

I'm getting a lot of mileage out of following the podcast "Prosecuting Donald Trump." I don't get half of the legal detail, but it sure makes it clear what to expect.
For example, today's verdict was no big surprise, whereas SCOTUS taking the immunity case, was a bit of an unexpected blow (if I understood correctly).
If you just looked at (left-wing) social media, you would get the complete opposite impression.

There are two reasons the SCOTUS needs to either immediately hear the arguments about presidential immunity or not agree to hear it at all.
1) The American voters need to know if Trump broke the law.
2) Biden needs to know if he can legally assassinate Trump while he is still in office.
If you think the second one is absurd, then you have a better grasp of the US Constitution than the SCOTUS.

Nothing would be so perfect to him as an immunity law so narrow as to apply only to him.
Jail is too good for TFG, but it's a step in a good direction.
