Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer. He was a prosecutor for the New York County District Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and is the author of “Bizarro,' a book about the secret war on synthetic drugs. Before he joined MSNBC, he was a legal reporter for Bloomberg Law.

The Supreme Court’s next opinion day is Thursday. But for multiple unsatisfying reasons, we shouldn’t expect Donald Trump’s immunity ruling just yet. Making the ruling’s absence more frustrating is the observation by Norman Eisen and Michael Podhorzer for MSNBC Daily that the court decided to keep Trump on the presidential ballot 25 days after the oral arguments in that case, while more time than that has elapsed since the April 25 hearing in the immunity appeal.

Everyone, including the justices, knows that the looming election is a ticking time bomb that can blow up the case itself if Trump wins and orders it dismissed, effectively granting him the very immunity that’s the subject of debate in the appeal. But the looming election isn’t formally at issue in this case, like it was in the Colorado ballot case.
