Weekly Recap 3/3: SCOTUS Gives Trump an Assist

By TokyoSand on March 3, 2024 • ( 0 )

No one is coming to save us. We are a democracy, and that means it will be we the people who vote in November, who will deliver the accountability that Trump deserves.

Once again, the Supreme Court seems perfectly aligned with what Trump wants, namely, to delay all of his trials, until he can become president and make them go away again. First they waited two weeks to make any kind of announcement and then they decided that they would actually hear the immunity case but not for another two months. Trump got the delay he was looking for.

I can’t tell you what will happen when they do hear the immunity case. This particular court is not one I feel like I can trust very much. Which is why instead of wringing my hands, wondering what might happen, I am going to be spending my time helping to get out the vote in November and encouraging as many people as possible to join me in doing that.

We can beat Trump at the ballot box again if we all turn out, and then all of his delays will mean exactly nothing. Let’s collectively deliver the accountability that man desperately needs to experience.
