Every day the Supreme Court fails to make a decision in Trump’s immunity case is effectively a decision in his favor.
They're acting like an arm of Trump's campaign by letting him run out the clock on his prosecution.
@elan what you're missing is that the system is protecting itself just fine by refusing to take illegal actions.
This is how the system is SUPPOSED to work. This IS the system.
Apparently Reich would like to rush things. THAT would be breaking the system. And the system is protecting itself by saying no, Robert, we're going to go through the process even if you don't like it.
Biden can't act against Trump because that's not how our system is set up. The system is protecting itself against such political action.
@elan No, the court documents debunk that sort of claim.
@elan If you pull up the docket, the judge goes through all of the timeline pointing out how the time was spent, talking about the process, and generally addressing those claims that timeline had been manipulated.
Legal processes take time. They are supposed to, because real people have their real lives threatened by them, so they want to take their time and get it right.
Court procedures take time. If you want something fast, then the court is the wrong place to look for it.
@elan completely different system.
In the US, you have these different systems of courts.
Anyway, well look in on it. Looks like the prosecutors have made a mess of it.
@elan That's not how the US system works, though. There are checks on judges to make sure they don't just make a mess of things.
Nothing like this is to just one judge. That would be a stupid thing to do, so the US doesn't do it.
@elan right, but there's a fundamental principle in US government that we have checks and balances to protect against officials who are lacking in objectivity.
If the judge is the worst, most biased, most corrupt judge ever, well, that's why there are procedures to address and mitigate such things.
The US system doesn't leave grant such sweeping power to any individuals. There are always checks in place specifically because we don't want corrupt people to have such authority.
