Understandably, many Americans are frustrated by the interminable delays in four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump’s criminal trials and enforcement of New York’s massive civil judgment for fraudulent valuation of his properties. Trump can pay for a fleet of lawyers to file every imaginable defense and appeal.
On the criminal side, Trump’s lawyers have thrown up one frivolous defense after another. In the federal classified documents case proceeding in Florida, Trump has been effective in slowing the wheels of justice almost to a halt, because Judge Aileen M. Cannon — who he appointed, remember — keeps entertaining frivolous arguments. Worse, she has demanded briefing, held oral arguments and then refused to rule. Unless the U.S.
On to the federal Jan. 6, 2021, case: Despite the Supreme Court’s leisurely pace, its decision on Trump’s claim of absolute immunity will come in June at the latest.

Only voters can spare Trump the consequences of his conduct — by electing him president again in November. That would be the true miscarriage of justice.
