As of Tue 110 days had passed since the #SupremeCourt agreed to hear #Trump #immunity case. The court has lost benefit of doubt for myriad reasons including willingness to act quickly in cases that benefit #Republican interests. The question before #SCOTUS is this https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/23-939.html: “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.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/19/opinion/supreme-court-trump-immunity.html?unlocked_article_code=1.000.D84w.ezKK4PaAjG3T&smid=url-share
@bespacific you're comparing apples and oranges, though. This case was particularly nuanced as they sought to answer that rather deep question of federal construction.
It's pretty rare that such a case even gets to the Court, and since judicial independence means they can take their time and get it right, there's nothing strange about it taking them a while to resolve their stance.
Folks trying to make something of timing here don't understand that time doesn't matter to the Court by its nature.
If you wanted something done fast, there were two other branches better situated to respond to situations today.
You're comparing apples and oranges while talking about machine parts.
I'm pointing out that this is a unique case and time doesn't matter in the context of the court, and yet you're continuing to talk about time, which doesn't matter, in comparison against other cases, which are uncomparible.
AND the claim doesn't make sense in the first place. A delay gets the supposed conspiracy nothing at this point, given the timing of lower courts.
