Today, Trump's claim of absolute immunity takes center stage at
the Supreme Court.
The justices will hear arguments on whether Trump can be
criminally prosecuted for his efforts to remain in power after
losing the 2020 election.
Prosecutors say the immunity theory puts a president above the
law.
The fate of his federal January 6th trial hinges on
the ruling.
The best case scenario is the court either says no
criminal immunity at all,
or says there's criminal immunity but none for January 6th.
Or comes down with a very clean,
easy test that Judge Chuck in in the January 6th
case could apply rapidly and at least get going Prior
to the November election.
Trump will not be at the Supreme Court today.
He will be in a New York courtroom instead as
his criminal hush money trial resumes with the former publisher
of the National Enquirer returning to the stand.
