Trump floats method for the Supreme Court to further delay his trial without giving him full immunity

Former President Donald Trump told the Supreme Court on Tuesday that future presidents could be vulnerable to “de facto blackmail and extortion while in office” if the justices did not accept his sweeping view of immunity against special counsel Jack Smith’s election subversion charges.

However, the presumptive 2024 GOP White House nominee also floated an alternative route for the justices – if they were unwilling to accept his maximalist theory of presidential immunity – that would still help him achieve the political goal of delaying a trial until after the November election.

Trump’s new Supreme Court brief also repeatedly referenced statements Justice Brett Kavanaugh made before Trump nominated him to the Supreme Court, in what appears to be an appeal to the justice’s past experience.

Trump is making his full-throated arguments for presidential immunity to the Supreme Court now that the justices have agreed to take up the issue, with oral arguments scheduled for April 25.

1. No other president in the modern era has been such a criminal as TFA he's wants immunity because he knows

He’s guilty as hell !

2. A sociopath's dream: to commit as many crimes as they want w/ no consequences.

To go on crime sprees with no one stopping them.

3. I wish...

Can't say it. Free speech can get people in trouble.

4. He conflates "the consequences of criminal misdeeds" with "blackmail"

Yes, Donnie Dumbass, presidents should have to be mindful of the consequences they may face for any criminality they engage in. For non-idiot non-psychos (and here I think I see where your comprehension problem lies) those potential consequences can act as a deterrent.
