Let's face it: The Supreme Court is in the bag for the Trump party. The idea that it needs to consider whether the president is totally above the law is beyond bonkers.

Even assuming (as I do) that the court rules that presidents can't (for example) order a hit team to kill political opponents, this is the delay Trump and his fellow fascists wanted.

For now, he is damn near above the law. Disgusting, terrifying.

Supreme Court to Hear Trump’s Immunity Claim, With Arguments Set for April

The former president’s trial on charges of plotting to subvert the 2020 election will remain on hold while the justices consider the matter.

@dangillmor I believe that even Nixon had more decency that Trump when he renounced his presidency after he gave to the DOJ the Watergate tapes. He didn't want to face an impeachment.

@Asariel999 @dangillmor

Nixon didn't resign until he had a deal for a pardon.

@artemesia @dangillmor Thanks for the info. I didn't know.
