  18. The words they write will be for everyone, but the reason they are even writing the words to begin with instead of letting the circuit opinion stand is because (1) at least a third of the court believes it's a meritless political prosecution and/or that the other side was the real coupers all along, and (2) John Roberts views his job as lowers the partisan temperature when necessary and he believes the best way to do that right now is to punt any trial until after the election. So he will probably write an opinion to split the baby, drawing some new line on criminal immunity and kicking it back to the trial court to restart the process from square one with the immunity instructions. Trial will be (a) delayed until after the election or (b) cancelled entirely if he wins the election.
  19. please tell me where in the unanimous circuit opinion on the immunity argument it was so questionable as to require a second look (pg. 18-20; 32-41) https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24409152/dc-circuit-immunity-opinion.pdf
  20. I don't think anyone disputes that. The question is where does official end and personal begin?
  21. The Court isn't required to pick from option A or B, just between no immunity or absolute immunity. Or to put it another way, Trump can win despite without his argument winning. Here is Elie Mystal's summary of and his projection based on the oral arguments: https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/supreme-court-trump-immunity-hearing/
  22. lolwat the Supreme Court 25 years ago did Bush v. Gore Literally the only difference between now and then is that half the GOP appointees then were secretly liberals or libertarians. The Court has been a farce since Nixon.
  23. The game isn't really whether or not he has absolute immunity (he doesn't). The game is whether they can find some factual question as to where immunity begins and ends so they can remand it back to the trial court to figure out before proceeding with the trial. Or to put it another way, their goal is to delay trials until after the election.
  24. happy birthday @Heshi!
  25. regular, i was a basic bitch
