The Democrat Party’s lawfare hit a brick wall.
It couldn’t come at a better time for Donald Trump.
And now the Supreme Court hit Joe Biden with a scary defeat that will keep him up at night.
As Swamp Digest reports:
agreed to hear Donald Trump’s bid to dismiss Jack Smith’s charges for contesting the 2020 election on the grounds of Presidential immunity.
“The Special Counsel’s request to treat the stay application as a petition for a writ of certiorari is granted, and that petition is granted limited to the following question: Whether and if so to what extent does a former President enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office,” the Supreme Court wrote in taking up the case.
“Without expressing a view on the merits, this Court directs the Court of Appeals to continue withholding issuance of the mandate until the sending down of the judgment of this Court.”
Trump’s critics howled in rage as the court taking up this case froze the 2020 election trial which Democrats know is a slam-dunk conviction since it’s a rigged show trial being run in Washington D.C.
Rachel Maddow claimed there is no issue of Presidential immunity to settle since President Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon after Nixon’s resignation.
“Is presidential immunity an open question? What is the most famous pardon in American history? Gerald Ford for pardoning Richard Nixon once he was resigned and a former president. Why did Gerald Ford pardon him? As a result, occurring before his resignation as president of the meeting as a result of stuff he did while president, quote, Richard Nixon has become liable to possible indictment in trial and whether or not he shall be prosecuted depends on findings of the appropriate grand jury and discussion of the authorized prosecutor,” Maddow whined.
Liz Cheney complained delaying the trial would keep important evidence about January 6 away from the public.
“Delaying the January 6 trial suppresses critical evidence that Americans deserve to hear. Donald Trump attempted to overturn an election and seize power. Our justice system must be able to bring him to trial before the next election. SCOTUS should decide this case promptly,” Cheney ranted.
But Liz Cheney was the Vice Chairwoman of the January 6 Committee.
If she knew of some damning evidence about Trump’s role in what happened that day, then why didn’t she release it when she had the chance?
The real reason Maddow, Cheney, and the other Trump haters lost their minds is because the whole point of the 2020 case was to get a Trump conviction and swing the election to Biden.
But the court had very good reason to take up the case.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump’s immunity claim and argued there would be no tit-for-tat on prosecuting future presidents.
Supreme Court Justices know better and know that the D.C. Court’s standard that a president enjoys no immunity whatsoever from criminal prosecution for official acts in office is unworkable.
Barack Obama ordered the assassination of Abdulrahman al-Awlaki and his 16-year-old son in 2011 by drone bombing.
Under the D.C. Circuit Court’s framework of ‘no Presidential immunity’, a Trump Justice Department could indict Obama on murder charges and the court would have to rely on precedent to allow the prosecution to proceed.
The Supreme Court didn’t take this case just to stall the Trump proceedings to try and keep the judiciary out of this election.
Clarence Thomas and the rest of the justices took this case to prevent an open season for prosecutors on a President every time the White House changed hands.
