Democrats are now facing the reality that their politically motivated case targetting President Donald Trump over Jan. 6 will not make it to trial before the critical November election.
Trump was given his biggest legal victory so far when the United States Supreme Court decided to take up his immunity case this week.
Just by agreeing to review the matter, the court has dramatically lowered the odds that Trump will face trial before the 2024 election.
That’s a tremendous blow to Democrats, who are emotionally invested in seeing Trump convicted over the so-called “insurrection.”
It’s also outstanding news for Trump, whose best hope of avoiding a conviction in left-leaning D.C. is not to face trial at all.
Out of the four criminal cases Trump faces, the Jan. 6 case in D.C. has the most potential to damage his presidential campaign.
The trial, originally scheduled to start March 4, is currently paused pending Trump’s appeal.
The appeal was previously shot down by an appellate court in D.C.
Left-wing lawyers were confident that the appeals court decision was airtight, leaving the Supreme Court with no option but to decline Trump’s appeal.
However, it appears the court wants to confront the significant, and legally untested question of whether presidents have immunity from prosecution over official acts.
Trump has warned that, without such immunity, presidents would have to fear legal harassment once they leave office.
For Democrats, it’s conveniently obvious that Trump is an “insurrectionist.”
Nevertheless, the court doesn’t see it that way, having already cast doubt on efforts to take him off the ballot.
The Supreme Court does not have to agree with Trump about immunity to hand him a win.
A careful review of the questions at hand might be enough to delay the trial past the election.
If Trump wins the presidency, he could pardon himself, and the trial would never happen.
Meanwhile, top Democrats and liberal celebrities are venting their frustration with the court’s decision.
Leftist actor and filmmaker Rob Reiner called the court “a cancerous threat to Democracy.”
Additionally, a separate case over the 2020 election in Georgia is on the brink of collapse.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the get-Trump case, faces possible disqualification over conflicts of interest.
Trump is facing trial in New York this month, over allegations related to “hush money” to Stormy Daniels.
The case, widely seen as the most frivolous Trump faces, now might be the only one to be decided before November.
