Later today, the United States Supreme Court is expected to finally hand down its decision on whether or not convicted felon Donald Trump has total immunity from actions he took while in office, including his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
According to Politico, “How the court answers the immunity question could determine whether there remains even an outside chance that Trump will face a jury on those charges before Election Day. No matter the outcome, the ruling will be a landmark: It will be the first time the high court weighs in on whether a president can be criminally prosecuted for actions he took while in office.
“’We’re writing a rule for the ages,’ Justice Neil Gorsuch said at the April oral arguments in the case.”
Based on a posting he made Sunday on his financially-troubled Truth Social site, the disgraced former president is worried about what the court will decide shortly after 10 a.m., writing, “It should be a STRONG IMMUNITY, where proper decisions can be made, where our Country can be POWERFUL and THRIVE, and where Opponents cannot hold up and extort a Future President for Political Gain,” he added. “It is a BIG decision, an important decision, a decision which can affect the Success or Failure of our Country for decades to come.”
He added, “We want a GREAT Country, not a weak, withering, and ineffective one. STRONG PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY IS A MUST!”
A ruling in Trump’s favor could wind up being a mixed blessing, as it would also grant immunity to President Joe Biden, who could then have the ex-president arrested and imprisoned indefinitely. Theoretically, he could also invalidate the results of the upcoming election and declare himself president by fiat.
No matter what the high court rules, it’s clearer by the day that Trump must be defeated at the ballot box this November and then have to face the bar of justice for his many illegal actions.
