#Politics Watching #MSNBC 's legal eagles, they seem to be in a bit of a panic about this. They seem to think that the #SCOTUS #MAGA majority are going to grant #Trump extraordinary powers of legal immunity as a former president.
If so .. I'll just point out that those powers will have been granted to #Biden too.
They also speculated that #SCOTUS could hold their ruling until they recess in late June, essentially assuring that no criminal trial can begin in time to affect the election.
@WordsmithFL Just speculating here, but they may have decided and are making time for some of the justices to write the dissenting opinions.
@lifeinthePNW I dunno, when Rachel Maddow calls a "bullpucky" it's an extra-special outrage. 🤔
I assume that Alito and Thomas are a lost cause. It only takes three more justices to give #Trump his get-out-of-jail-free card. These are the justices who reversed Rowe and have made it clear that precedent means nothing to them. I think that's why everyone, quite rightly, is scared.
@WordsmithFL @lifeinthePNW Pretty sure Kavanagh and Gorsuch are writeoffs too. #politics #SCOTUS
