Supreme Court Will Hear and Rule on President Trump Immunity Position – Expedited Argument Calendar

 

February 29, 2024 | Sundance | 189 Comments

The Supreme Court has granted certiorari and accepted the case of President Trump arguing presidential immunity from prosecution for official acts while in office. At the heart of the issue the court will determine if the charges brought by Jack Smith need to be dropped, or if the case against President Trump can continue forward.

 

If the Supreme Court begins defining what types of immunity exist for Presidents in office, they are beginning to open the door to multiple Lawfare efforts against the chief executive by agencies of the administrative state. This could be extremely troublesome for the future abilities of the presidency far beyond Donald Trump.

WASHINGTON DC – In a one-page order Wednesday, the court set an expedited schedule to hear the immunity issue, withoral arguments to be set during the week of April 22. In the meantime, proceedings in the trial court will remain frozen.

 

[T]he court’s decision to keep the pretrial proceedings frozen is a blow to special counsel Jack Smith’s effort to bring Trump to trialthis year. Smith has charged Trump with four felonies stemming from his bid to subvert the 2020 presidential election.

 

Trump claims that, as a former president, he enjoys broad immunity from criminal prosecution for acts taken while in office. Lower courts have rejected that claim, but proceedings in the trial court have been paused for more than two months while Trump has litigated the novel immunity question. (more)

 

The leftist Lawfare cheerleaders are not happy with the Supreme Court decision.
