Supreme Court announces date for Trump presidential immunity arguments

The Supreme Court announced Wednesday that it will hear oral arguments on April 25 over whether former President Donald Trump enjoys immunity from criminal charges in his federal election interference case brought by special counsel Jack Smith.

Pretrial proceedings for Smith’s four-count indictment against Trump are currently on pause while the Supreme Court prepares to consider Trump’s claim that former presidents cannot face charges for official acts performed while in office. An additional argument date was created for the week of April 22, a Thursday, to make room for the former president’s dispute.

The justices could wait for weeks, and possibly until the end of June, to issue an opinion over the dispute. If they rule that Trump can be prosecuted for actions that took place while he was still in office, the case could be restarted in federal district court just months before the November general election.

If they so rule, it will be the end for this noble experiment in self-government. NO president will ever again be able to govern effectively while under continual legal attacks.

Only if they are a Republican president, otherwise I doubt that a DEM would have to worry.

Interesting, Trump will have the nomination wrapped up by then. What will they do at that point?

The Republican Convention isn't until July 15th-- so technically he won't be nominated until then??

The real question:  Can Trump be prosecuted for actions that aren't crimes?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
