So the idea is because of this ruling they won't be able to get him to trial before the 2024 election? They have to wait for SCOTUS to make this ruling (whenever they get around to it) before the cases can proceed? Would it not have been better for them to simply rule that he is immune to prosecution?
It's kicked back to the DC appellate court where Smith is going to have to prove that Trump didn't have immunity. Smith was trying to leapfrog and have the Supremes rule yes or no. That's just not how it works.
