Jebus?! How bad are things with Trump. Hard to find the right trial thread!
SCOTUS held arguments today on Trump's immunity claim. For the most part, the conservative justices acted without ethics, tying their hands arbitrarily as they looked down the road as to how this ruling would impact underground weremoles. In fact, almost no conservative justice wanted to touch the details of this actual case.
How bad is Trump's case? Trump's lawyer didn't want to do the rebuttal. He knew the more he talked the worse off his client would be. The case is that shitty.
But it might not be that bad for Trump after all... because CJ Roberts suggested that the lower court declared it too easy to put a former President on trial. Also underground weremoles! The conservative justices were flummoxed over just how to thread the needle to make this ruling fair for all future Presidents. It got real surreal when Conservative justices were almost implying that investigating over the election (regarding election fraud) could open up the sluice gates for future frivolous lawsuits against Presidents by saying any act was about being re-elected. But back to CJ Roberts, he pulled a thread that could make SCOTUS punt this back to the appellate court to make a better standard, because we know these assholes won't actually create one.
