Can someone explain to a dumb dumb like me why this is a win? Wouldn't it be when for it to be expedited and the court ruling in favor of Trump?
Prosecutor bypassed the appellate court. Supremes are court of last resort. My guess.
Im reading it like they are denying Trumps immunity claim
No they are kicking it back. They won't be bothered with it, just now.
Because they are fully aware of the reality and want to let the system work. Slow is sometimes a good thing.
Smith wanted to skip the Circuit Court and go directly to SCOTUS to save time, and avoid two appeals from Trump assuming he loses.
Smith wants Trump's trial to start the day before Super Tuesday, knowing Trump will need to be campaigning all over the place. Once the trial starts Trump will actually have to be there in court, unlike the New York scam trial. That would severely hamper Trumps campaigning in the primaries and very well could effect the elections.
election interference is obvious
My guess is none of the cases can proceed until this case eventually makes it to SCOTUS. Which could put the trials until after the 2024 election. But yeah, I would think him being immune would be better. Maybe as long as the cases are pending, his support will continue to be high?
