Exclusive: Top Attorney Thor Hearne Offers Analysis and a Prediction on the Supreme Court's Decision on Trump vs. United States ...
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Former Attorney General John Ashcroft and the Constitutional Coalition filed a writ of amicus in the Supreme Court on the question of presidential immunity.
I expect Chief Justice Roberts will author the majority opinion that overturns the D.C. Circuit’s categorical holding that the president has no immunity from criminal prosecution for any official act. I anticipate the Supreme Court will remand the case to the district court for a fuller record of what specific “official acts” (as opposed to “private acts”) are the basis of Jack Smith’s indictment. The remand will direct the district court to develop the specific facts and allegations underlying Jack Smith’s indictment.
Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett did not seem inclined to favor a blanket rule that the president is absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for every official act the president takes while in office. Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett seem inclined to develop a more limited doctrine of immunity addressing the distinction between “official acts” (directing a drone strike that killed American citizens) and “private acts” the president engages in pursuit of the president’s private interest. (Bill Clinton’s act with Monica Lewinski is not an “official act” even though President Clinton engaged in the act in the Oval Office, nor is President Clinton’s subsequent denial of inappropriate conduct at an official press conference held in the White House.)
IMO, the case will not make it to the courtroom before the election, if there is one. The lawfare against Trump is imploding along with the Biden administration.
They realize there is no way this can nopw come to trial before the election. And it is imploding as you so well stated. Now they have to push the National Emergency DS BS and hand us over to W.H.O. and there will be no elections.
