Donald Trump can be prosecuted for trying to overturn the 2020 US election, a federal appeals court ruled, rejecting his claim of immunity and moving him closer to trial before November’s presidential vote as he seeks to return to the White House.
Got some pot on you? Straight to jail. Try to overthrow the government? See you in 3+ years where you MIGHT get a slap on the wrist but also might get to be president again.
I kinda get your point, but also If you watch enough news you realize there is no W here. It’s all meaningless because Trump owns SCOTUS and they have the final say.
EDIT: No, SCOTUS isn’t beholden to Trump but electing him is in their interests.
EDIT2: Well I certainly hope yall are right and they won’t let him on the ballot but I’m not holding my breath.
They’ve ruled against him a lot. They could have thrown a huge wrench into the election by allowing Texas to sue PA, buy they didn’t it. If he owned it, it would go the other way.
SCOTUS is laden with Federalist Society conservative wackjobs, but they (aside from Thomas and Alito a bit) have zero love for Trump. They’re more than happy to side with him when it serves long-term conservative principles and aims, but that have demonstrated zero hesitation when his policies and pleadings don’t align with their own.
Except the Trump presidency does coincide with their aims. Trump would Usher in the greatest destruction of the federal government in US history. He’s the federalist society’s dream. He has no morals or Scruples he does whatever his advisors tell him and his advisors are from the Federalist Society.

While you’re almost certainly right… this is your response to what should be a tiny bit of good news? Maybe it’s time for a break from the news?
I mean, what would you have done if they had ruled in favor of immunity instead of denying it??
As for me, I’ll take the w here.

They’re killing Chevron without him. Maybe read something instead of harvesting takes from YouTube and Twitter, my dude.
But him winning the presidency does align with their goals. So yeah, saying he owns them is wrong, but it’s how they’re gonna vote.
Not really.
