Breaking news today, July 1, 024, is that the Supreme Court of the US has granted Donald Trump presidential immunity for core constitutional powers. This sends the the prosecution’s case back to the lower courts to decide d just how th is impacts Trump. It will most likely delay this consideration until after the November election.
“Absolute immunity for core Constitutional powers."”
This means that Jack asSmith’s case will be sent back to lower courts and dealt with as per the SCOTUS ruling.
If you recall the 3-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court had ruled that the Trump prosecution be allowed to proceed. This panel consisted of two Biden and one GW Bush appointee.
SCOTUS sometimes has worried me of late, but the 6-3 ruling today proves that there IS a God - and that there are still a few Constitutional jurists on the Supreme Court of the US!
A breath of fresh air in the US legal community.
Blessings and prayers up for more breaths of continued sanity.

Kat, this morning Townhall said: “The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 - citing Article II of the U.S. Constitution - that former President Donald Trump in his official capacity, and more broadly the office of the United States presidency, has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution.”
However, at the end TH said: “The Supreme Court did not define what an official or unofficial act is and sent that question back down to lower courts.”
I see this as not a slam-dunk, but lurking trouble. Sure hope I'm wrong on that! Nothing ever seems finished/done/over; instead endless lawsuits. I know that's emotion not fact, yet I do remain positive that most decisions at the SC are better. The 3 dissenters are sadly not true Constitutionalists.
