Donald Trump,Election 2024,January 6 Insurrection

Mitchell Zimmerman is an attorney, longtime social activist, and author of the anti-racism thriller 'Mississippi Reckoning' (2019).

They fooled me completely.When the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Donald Trump ’s presidential immunity defense, I, an experienced lawyer and devout follower of legal developments, believed that the court had only accepted the case in order to buy time for Trump. I was sure the right-wing justices—having ensured that the election overthrow prosecution would not go to trial until after November—would ultimately reject Trump’s outlandish claim that a president can commit crimes with impunity.

Why have the right-wing justices taken up such a laughable endeavor, embarrassing, really, if you consider how smart and well-educated they all are? How could a conservative majority, nominally dedicated to the rule of law, engage in such illogical contortions to evade the simple reality that Donald Trump is entitled to his day in court like everyone else, but is not entitled to special protection from the law?The answer has nothing to do with constitutional law.
