Special counsel urges Supreme Court to reject Trump’s immunity claim

Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday urged the Supreme Court to reject Donald Trump’s “novel and sweeping” claim that he is immune from criminal prosecution on charges of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
“The President’s constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed does not entail a general right to violate them,” Smith said in his office’s main brief to the justices before the Supreme Court reviews the case on April 25, the final day of the court’s oral argument calendar for this term.
Trump’s D.C. prosecution for allegedly trying to block Joe Biden’s victory is on hold while the justices consider his immunity claim, and the high court’s ruling will determine whether and how quickly Trump faces trial.
The justices’ decision to take up Trump’s claim — rather than let stand an appeals court decision that he can be prosecuted — has drawn criticism for delaying the trial, which initially was scheduled to begin in early March.

Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican nominee for president, has tried to push the D.C. trial and the other legal challenges he faces until after the general election rematch with Biden. If Trump is again elected president, he could appoint an attorney general who would seek to have the federal cases dropped.

President Trump doesn't have immunity for attempting to overturn a lawful election to help Candidate Trump stay in office.
That's not even remotely within the scope of Presidential powers. We don't have Kings in this country, despite what MAGA may want.

So you're OK with trying Obama for murdering American citizens without trial mush less convictions, even killing their kids who were never even charged with crimes, much less as an adult facing the death penalty.Remember, no SOL for murder.

Here Comes The Judge. All Rise.
Thank God SCOTUS will straighten these runaway Judges in the lower courts out!! It is as if they all want to be known as the Judge that took a President down.

Does the Federal Government have any investigative powers over Federal Elections held by the States? To me, that's the central argument. If they do, then the President has Presidential powers over the Federal agencies that would investigate.
It's hard to argue that the Federal Government has zero authority over Federal elections held by the States after all of the lawsuits that they have won as it relates to civil rights and other voter eligibility issues.

Maybe he should talk with Mr. Hur about this concept.

It wasnt a lawful election, that’s the entire point.
Chains of custody were not kept, signature verification not performed, laws changed through incorrect channels.

More and more facts have been revealed to certainty question the lawfulness of the election.
