RuhRoh! So trump is trying to set up a conflict among circuits on whether a former president has immunity for crimes committed while in office. (Is this is what sCOTUS has been waiting for by not promptly affirming DC Circuit ruling against trump immunity?)

First trump gets Loose Cannon to quickly (relatively) rule that he has immunity (her opinion is already prepared) and then Special Counsel must appeal to 11th circuit, which affirms or lets Cannon ruling stand — and BOOM! we’re in the classic two circuits in conflict—forcing sCOTUS to grant cert & necessitating a full time-consuming sCOTUS review of presidential immunity—maybe as late as next term!

Yes. It would tie Cannon’s & the11th Circuit’s hands. Here’s hoping! 🤞🏽

Ps—My first thought upon waking this am was that they might rule today. I just can’t figure out when THIS sCOTUS is gonna be reasonable & when they’re gonna be zealots. trump immunity doesn’t involve religion, government regulation or corporate greed so maybe there’s hope for sensible
