By withholding a ruling on Trump v. United States, the Supreme Court's far-right justices are effectively giving Trump the immunity he's seeking, making it all but impossible for him to face trial before the election for his efforts to overturn the election and his role in Jan 6.
That we have six fascist lunatics running 1/3 of the federal government really isn't treated with the appropriate level of urgency. they cannot be allowed to continue. @rbreich
@rbreich Don't worry. If we're in a dark satire like it seems we are, just when it looks like we're about to lose, a satisfying turn of events will thwart them.
@rbreich Well, yeah, nobody's coming to the rescue. If he's re-elected, you're fucked. If not, you get to see him in the orange jumpsuit. The stakes are at least clear.
@rbreich idiots of doj and politicians did not get it all started early enough so many are responsible for the delays and yes supreme court is supreme idiots in some of their slow and bad decisions
@rbreich The sad part is that there is nothing we can do about a politically corrupt Court since it is a political institution in the first place.
We really dropped the ball on this when it was possible to create a balanced court.
@rbreich That, and even more Judge Cannon delay tactics over classified documents and spending all her time addressing chronic Republican challenges, now to the appropriateness of Jack Smith having been assigned.
