The U.S. Supreme Court has set April 25 as the date it will hear Donald Trump’s claim of presidential immunity from prosecution on charges related to his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss - the last day of oral arguments of its current term.

The court released its updated argument calendar a week after it agreed to take up the case and gave the former president a boost by putting on hold the criminal prosecution being pursued by Special Counsel Jack Smith. It previously had disclosed which week it would hear the matter but had not given the precise date.

The justices will review a lower court’s rejection of Trump’s claim of immunity from prosecution because he was president when he took actions aimed at reversing President Joe Biden’s election victory over him.

    Whoa, bud- careful with those counter-hivemind opinions. You’ll get slapped for wrongthink around here.

    edit: Case-in-point: my ratio right now.

        is that an echo i hear? echo…echo…echo…

        I don’t suppose you could explain how the 14th amendment works in the relevant case to give the contrary opinion to the unanimous court? I’m with the guy above, they suck and are awful, but not wrong on this one in particular. That you think the 9th amendment is somehow relevant is… telling.

        edit: crickets. Crickets and downvotes. Nope, no hivemind punishing wrongthink here. Nosiree.

      The hive-mind children in here are worse than reddit ever was, and was there for 12-years. Notice not a soul stated anything counter to what I posted?

      I read your comment and it reminded me of something, but I just couldn’t put my finger on it. It took me a few minutes, then it dawned on me: it was my drunk Trumper uncle at Thanksgiving dinner. He was telling us how the “Mexicans and Blacks” are sabotaging “White Christianity™” by crossing the border and interbreeding with white women and that our telling him to shut up and go home was the real intolerance

      Tl;dr: dumb people often blame everyone else for any consequences of their failure to recognize they’re dumb.

        It’s called the Dunning-Kruger Effect, and yes it’s remarkable how often humans fall into this trap, isn’t it? In my experience, the appropriate response is to educate people when they are mistaken. Perhaps you could take the time to correct my mistake instead of ridiculing me?

      People should stop with this hivemind stuff. It’s okay to feel something and be corrected. It’s fine to learn.
