    …the court sent the case back to the trial judge to determine which, if any of Trump’s actions, were part of his official duties and thus were protected from prosecution. That part of the court’s decision likely ensures that the case against Trump won’t be tried before the election, and then only if he is not reelected. If he is reelected, Trump could order the Justice Department to drop the charges against him, or he might try to pardon himself in the two pending federal cases.

    What an absolute joke the Supreme Court is — this does nothing but ensure the case is delayed beyond the election.

    Justice delayed is justice denied, and they just ensured that the president (and specifically Trump) is beyond the rule of law.
