Most notably, the high court will weigh if and when a former president can claim criminal immunity for acts committed while in office as Trump, who is currently on trial for allegedly concealing hush money payments to an adult film actress, fights three additional indictments over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his hoarding of classified documents.”

Trump’s appeal is set to come before the justices on Thursday.

    That’s what happens when you delay judgment on a frivolous pleading from Trump.

    They pile up at the deadline.

    Maybe you should have denied cert, guys.

      The worst part is that they ALLOW Trump to keep moving the goalposts. First it was “the President is completely immune from prosecution”, then it was “anyone who’s been President is immune from prosecution for anything they do while in office”, now it’s “well they’re not completely immune, they just have to be impeached and convicted first”.
