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.
Why does everyone on lemmy think the Court is in Trump’s pocket? Being conservative is one thing, being partisan is another. And for that matter, they’ve make rulings regarding, or refused to hear, cases where a Republican would be drooling to overturn the question.
And they shot Trump down once on his election bullshit already. I seriously doubt SCOTUS hears this one, it’s too fucking ludicrous.
Because the Dobbs ruling demonstrated just how corrupt and partisan they are.
