Trump is claiming broad immunity for actions he took in office, including efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results for which he faces prosecution.

FTA:

“The court denied without comment special counsel Jack Smith’s request asking the justices to circumvent the normal appeals court process and quickly decide the question, which looms large in Trump’s prosecution in Washington over allegations of election interference.”

    I’m confused. I’m sure SCOTUS is annoyed at having to deal with so many cases from just 1 person. I’m annoyed at my job when 1 customer makes a lot of extra work for us. That’s like, every damn day at most jobs, though.

    They can decline to take cases which means that they are agreeing with the lower court rulings. The only other option is for law enforcement to not pursue charges against a felonious former president.
