There was no good reason for the Supreme Court to hear Trump’s immunity issue. The legal principle is clear; the D.C. Circuit’s opinion is well-written; all four judges who considered the case reached the same conclusion; and the public interest is best served by a speedy decision on the merits of the case. And yet, the Court decided to take jurisdiction. Why?
By cooperating with Trump’s stall ball tactics, the Court is effectively supporting his campaign. I wish I could say otherwise, but I can’t. There is no other good explanation for this transparently bad decision.
