Reading it now.

Watched an op-ed video that stated this Biden fiasco will keep the Dem's divided, and the media distracted.

Sounds like a pretty ideal situation to me.

Big win for Trump, and a huge blow to the weasel Jack Smith.

It’s fairly clear, official act immunity, unofficial none. Now District Court you go figure out what is official and what’s not, and then an appeal to see if you got it right. Jack Smith case will never see the courtroom in the next 5 years.

Exactly, an example would be that the AG, Merrick Garland can interpret what is and isn’t official and prosecute accordingly. I’m not sure if smiths rail road will ever hit the court but he’s truly pissed he hasn’t gotten trump locked up yet.

District and Appeals courts will get to decide what is an official act.

That’s why we have an Executive separate from the other slower branches. The Executive must make quick decisions. Sometimes before all the details and facts of the situation are known.

And that’s why the Executive needs immunity. So he feels free to act. Even if proven to be wrong in the future. Otherwise they’ll act more like a physician worried about getting sued.

But is it? They decided what most of us have been saying all along. Immunity for official acts, and no immunity for unofficial acts.

However, it gets Trump what he wants which is to delay the trial until after election and if he does win then the charges will go away with a new DOJ leadership.

District and Appeals courts will get to decide what is an official act.

Exactly, it leaves it up to the prosecutor to determine what is or is not an official act. This is dangerous ground for any future former president no matter what party they belong to.

the prosecutor has to convince the courts to agree to that determination.

This ruling makes me wonder how it will affect Merchans sentencing of Trump in 10 days.
It seems to me that the Democrats, Rogue Judges & DA's, have carefully planned the timing of all of this.

It will have no effect on sentencing in that case.

No legal effect, but it might change what that judge was planning in his sentence.

Ever heard of shopping for a judge?

In what regard?

 

[Saul]

Ever heard of shopping for a judge?

Only in the 5th circuit

We have an appeals process for a reason.

 

[Brent in Az]

It could very lead to a harsher sentence, if possible.
They will all be desperate moving forward

It will have no effect on sentencing in that case.
