Trump SCOTUS Immunity Argument – Consensus Is Trump Likely To Get At Least A Partial Win

My quick take: “I think they will simply find … that there is presidential immunity for official acts while done in office and send it back down to the district court to opine on whether the charges in this case involve official acts or not.”The Supreme Court heard oral argument today in the Trump immunity case – Trump arguing that some or all of the D.C. federal court criminal charges were barred by his absolute immunity.

But what about things that get into the political sphere that surround what the president does in an official capacity? I don’t know if they will get into that or if they will allow the lower courts to sort that out, but that’s where I think the real nub is…. So this is a messy situation. I think we’ll get a pronouncement of law and they’ll send it back down and say, come back in a year or twoLet me move it off the Trump case really quick and on to college campuses.

So this is a very typical quote unquote, pro-Palestinian type of tactic. And we see it in Israel as well. They do something that they have a win-win situation. They win if there’s a confrontation and they lose, and they win if they win. So that is what is going on here. This is very strategic. It’s all nonsense.
