As the Supreme Court’s most renowned originalist-textualist member, Justice Clarence Thomas has a chance in the case of Trump v. United States to definitively refute the liberal media’s claim that the court is just another realm of tawdry politics. The unfair media narrative is that at least five of the six Republican appointees on the […]
Many things about Donald Trump’s Supreme Court immunity appeal are incredible (in a bad way). There’s the alleged scheme that prompted the election subversion charges at issue. There’s the former president’s equally subversive bid to avoid those charges. There’s the high court’s leisurely scheduling of the appeal, which could function as its own form of immunity by preventing a pre-election trial. The list goes on. But when the justices take the bench Thursday morning for their last scheduled...

But since the beginning of the Manhattan district attorney’s criminal trial against Trump last month, a different feedback loop has been on display: After the media makes observations of the former president’s courtroom arrangements and behavior, Team Trump appears to make noticeable tweaks in response. Don’t believe me? After the press noted that Trump was sitting alone...

As Donald Trump’s lawyer, D. John Sauer, tried to convince the U.S. Supreme Court that his client should have immunity from prosecution, there was a phrase the defense attorney turned to on several occasions. “A former president,” Sauer said, “has permanent criminal immunity for his official acts, unless he was first impeached and convicted” in Congress.
