Gravitas

Advantage Trump, or so it seems.

The SCOTUS decided to hear the case regarding immunity, but not until April 22. Initial reaction among some of the MSNBC crowd is that bullshit is called on the justices, because they have to know the case will not be decided now until after the election.

So are we looking at a situation where even the long-revered high court is now, legitimately, in Trump’s pocket? Or, as someone suggested, is it more a matter of the court recognizing the significance of the case and their decision, and wanting to make sure they give it adequate consideration before deciding whether or not a President has complete immunity from prosecution?

Maddow, for one, is not buying the latter. And others aren’t so sure, either. It was interesting to hear where Lawrence O’Donnell stood, though. Nonetheless, if the Supreme Court of the United States is somehow beholden to Trump, then let it be a sign that we are, officially, in trouble.
