Breaking News. SCOTUS rejects the premature Special Counsel bid to rule on his cases

Supreme Court Declines to Fast-Track Trump Immunity Case, as Jan. 6 Looms Over 2024 Election — The Wall Street Journal

Trump is trying to mitigate the damage from his legal woes by arguing he’s a proxy for his supporters

The Special Counsel motion was pretty ignorant.

He is trying to prosecute Trump. Trump says he might seek to appeal it on a legal theory of immunity. So the dopey special counsel tries to get “mother may I?” Permission?

Application DENIED.

It never made sense from a legal standpoint to me.
(I am not a lawyer, but I have seen every episode of Perry Mason.)

Perhaps the supreme court will consider the question after a lower court has made a ruling.

So Jack got dick-slapped by the Supreme Court, right?

I'm loving it.

A trial ruling. I believe they might if one becomes necessary.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Why would Jack want to bypass the regular legal channels?

I thought no one was above the law.

The left shoots itself in the foot again. If anything needs to be expedited, it’s the slap-down of the Colorado Kangaroo Court decision to prevent democracy in the upcoming elections.

Big win for Trump. He may be able to delay this indefinitely.

The US Supreme Court refused to decide immediately whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution for seeking to overturn his 2020 election loss, in a blow to prosecutors’ efforts to start trial on March 4.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

The justices, without explanation or public dissent, indicated they will let a federal appeals court take the first look at Trump’s appeal of a ruling rejecting his claim of immunity, leaving key questions about his legal fate open as the primary for the 2024 election gets underway. The appeals court will hear arguments Jan. 9.

Special Counsel Jack Smith had sought to bypass the appeals court stage, saying the matter was urgent because the Washington trial can’t start until the immunity issue is resolved.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Ouch. A far left activist prosecutor wants to jump over the legal process?

Hey, cult fucks…what happened to your “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW” bullshit?

You guys were so fucking convincing…but like always, you are just lying bags of shit.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

This whole case would set a dangerous precedent.
Imagine down the road, presidents having to be LEGALLY responsible for all executive action. You would have all presidents in the future always having their lawyers present, advising him/her on the potential liability they face on every decision they make.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Jack Smith lost, you dumb cult morons.

How is this a Trump loss when it was a motion by his prosecutor?

Are all cult fucks this stupid?

Maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members

Not very hard to see Smith's political motivations. Maybe Ed Meese will kick him in the balls too.

This could push the trial back, too close to the final stretch of the campaign, that's for sure.

I guess there's no rules for that -- we're in uncharted territory and all -- but there will be a point at which Trump will be able to say that.

Yes. He is trying. That doesn’t mean he will succeed, you decomposing rat’s ass.

I’m sure my link is the only one you could possibly find. You pathetic schmuck.

We were in uncharted territory the moment the Dems concocted a fake foreign spy scandal to try and take out a POTUS back in 2016 - and they've been pretending MAGA are the "norm breakers" ever since; all while continuing to manufacture perpetual "scandals" and "chaos" echoed by their corporate media conspirators.

Some of these dumb fucks think they won.

We were in uncharted territory the moment the Dems concocted a fake foreign spy scandal to try and take out a POTUS back in 2016 - and they've been pretending MAGA are the "norm breakers" ever since while manufacturing "scandal after scandal", and catapulting the propaganda vis a vis their media stooges.
