Dodging the political hot potato is probably a smart move on the part of SCOTUS. It should take more time to decide that type of issue. My perspective is that the actual prosecutions of DJT should have begun much earlier; probably back in 2021. Waiting this long may prove to be a strategic error.
"Insurrection" is political nonsense put out by the left.
This case is about a lot more than Trump.
I guess trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power is just nonsense. Just today we heard he called the Michigan officials and asked them not to certify the results, I think he did the same from Pence. I would hope no president would have immunity from these types of actions.
First off, there is no such thing as Trump's Immunity case.
Which makes it logical that something of substance be brought before SCOTUS before they have standing to look at it. It is not proper to ask them if he has absolute immunity. They should have said that.
Derailing a prosecution without the facts known is insane. What could eventually end up properly before them are specific arguments started by the defendant when he is convicted of things. An important unknown is if any stays will be placed while that is being sorted out.
Regards the current claims being argued about immunity the notion of absolute should fail a priori. The appeals court could essentially also turn this down for the above reasons, even if they have to sit through some presentations.
There was no gamble extraordinary or otherwise made by Smith. Nothing was lost by the prosecution and nothing was gained by the defense for this attempt. The only possible results were nothing or good for the prosecution to avoid the delay flack being thrown up. Streamline things. The guy is going to prison for the rest of his natural life, assuming he doesn't win the espionage death penalty when everything is known. We still haven't found all the documents.
From now until the cell door slams behind him he will do everything he can afford to avoid the eventual inevitable.
Hedging his bets. Now, once the Appeals Court rules against Trump and his subsequent appeal is rejected, he will have a far more difficult time appealing his conviction.
Uhm, whut? How are his chances of successfully appealing his conviction be any different whether the USSC heard the case right now or after the district court hears the appeal (or not at all after said appeal)?

I was thinking this too, earlier. Litigation at these levels (appeal courts and ultimately USSC) is not generally fast-moving. While it seemed a year+ may have been enough time, I'm not sure about that.

There's always going to be the next leaked call, or whatever.
The Democrats have set several terrible precedents in their insane efforts to destroy Trump.
The worst one of all is now all future administrations have the moral right to go after the previous administration, including the president, his staff, and anyone associated with his administration.
The Democrats set that precedent and it will come back to haunt all future administrations from here on out.
Yeah, ok. This is just a run of the mill ruling on whether a president has a right to refuse to accept an election and overthrow hi own government. But your right, democrats will be unable to take the same actions that Trump did after he lost the elections, I guess that's a bad thing?
Poor wittle Jack. Things now quite working out for him. That's what happens when you are evil.
Specifically, why do you feel that Jack Smith is evil.
