Supreme Court prepares to debate Trump immunity claim in election interference case

On March 4, the justices unanimously ruled that Trump could remain on the Colorado primary ballot over claims he committed insurrection in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riots.
The decision to intervene at this stage in the immunity dispute is a mixed bag for both Trump and the Special Counsel. The defendant wanted to delay the process longer – ideally past the November election – and Jack Smith wanted the high court appeal dismissed immediately so any trial could get back on track quickly.
A federal appeals court had unanimously ruled against Trump on the immunity question.
"For the purpose of this criminal case, former President Trump has become citizen Trump, with all of the defenses of any other criminal defendant," the three-judge panel wrote. "But any executive immunity that may have protected him while he served as President no longer protects him against this prosecution."
There is one other factor to consider: Trump could win re-election and then, upon taking office, order his attorney general to dismiss the Special Counsel and all his cases. Neither side's legal team has yet to publicly speculate on that scenario.
So, Jack Smith's case is frozen for now.
And while this appeal would normally be decided in late June at the end of the Court's term, it is being expedited – so a ruling could come sooner."
The U.S Supreme Court should rule 9-0 in favor of Trump and they should since he was still President and wasn't present on Jan 6th, 2021 and not only that, they will rule it wasn't an Insurrection like the left and liberals claim and instead, will be ruled as nothing more than a "Riot" and I will laugh my ass off over it!! 😂 Just because the left claims it was an Insurrection doesn't make it an Insurrection by definition..
