Judge Chutkan came out swinging against the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, saying the upcoming election is “not relevant.”
In conflates two things that are not connected.
The SCOTUS ruling has nothing to do with the schedule of this case .....and that was she was saying was not relevant. So she didn't come out swinging against the SCOTUS ruling. The later parts of the article make it clear she was disagreeing with Trump's lawyers interpretation of the SCOTUS ruling
Chutkan did not issue a ruling, but she is expected to release a scheduling order as soon as Thursday evening.
She basically gave Jack Smith what he asked for. Having Trump's team file their objections concurrently where she can rule on them all at once. Trump's team wanted to file one and then have a ruling and then file another and so on.
Prosecutors’ opening brief is due in three weeks — Sept. 26 — and Trump’s response is due three weeks later on Oct. 17. Prosecutors then will have until Oct. 29 to reply.
The judge granted prosecutors’ request to make their written arguments on the immunity issue first, rather than the usual practice of beginning with the defense.
This is a weird sentence.
