In his immunity brief to the Supreme Court, Donald Trump name-checks two articles by Brett Kavanaugh from before Trump appointed him to the high court.

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.

The Supreme Court just rejected an appeal from a former New Mexico county commissioner who was barred from office after he was convicted in a Jan. 6-related case. Why, you might wonder, wouldn’t he benefit from the recent ruling approving Donald Trump’s ballot eligibility despite the 14th Amendment’s insurrectionist ban? The court didn’t explain why it rejected Cowboys for Trump co-founder Couy Griffin’s petition Monday. But an important distinction is that Griffin’s case involved a state-level...
