Supreme Disaster - 2024 Edition

Just when we thought it was safe to turn MSNBC back on, because it looked like Donald Trump was finally going to face justice courtesy of special prosecutor Jack Smith in the January 6 election interference case, the Supreme Court has decided to hear Trump's appeal to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals' decision that a former President has no immunity from prosecution. 

As the Eagles once sang, lay down your law books now, they're no damn good.

Some legal experts have suggested that the Supreme Court feels the need to re-affirm the idea that no ex-President should be immune from prosecution to head off possible challenges to indictments in the classified-documents case and the two state cases, while others suggest that the election interference case involves actions Trump may have done that were not germane to his duties as President, as the President does not preside over election and therefore the rules have presidential conduct have to be clarified.  Yeah, so why didn't the Supreme Court take this case ahead of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, which Smith wanted them to do?      

There is no reason why the Supreme Court should accept this case - except for the possibility that the zealots in the conservative majority want to tip the scales in Trump's favor.  Though oral arguments will take place on April 22, the Court doesn't have to decide the case as soon as April 30 - it could wait until the end of June to decide, which would cause the trial to begin either just before Election Day or some time in late autumn.  

And if Trump wins back the White House on November 5, he, once he's sworn in again, can make the case disappear.

That's not all he's going to make disappear.  Ever hear of what happened under the 1976-1983 military dictatorship in Argentina?

Give it up, fellow anti-Trumpers.  The courts are not going to save the Republic.  If you don't want the United States Secret Police - currently known as the Oath Keepers - to arrest you in the middle of the night for the crime of disliking Trump after January 20, 2025, if you don't want to be sent to a labor camp and worked until exhaustion for said crime, and you if you don't, so as to take your mind off your utter exhaustion, want to be executed, you'll not only vote for Joe Biden on Election Day, you'll do what you can in the weeks and months leading up to Election Day to make sure Biden wins.  

It's do . . . or die.

I rest my case.
