Supreme Court decision in immunity case sends Trump matter back to lower court
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan FINALLY has Donald Trump's election-related case back in her hands, but Trump is probably LAUGHING at how weak the case against him is after the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling.
The Supreme Court is sticking to its guns that Donald Trump should enjoy immunity for official acts committed while he was president, and they've sent Trump's case back to Chutkan so that she can proceed while keeping that immunity in mind.
This is another important moment in what could be one of the biggest court cases in American history. Our Supreme Court has already gotten involved, showing you just how massive this decision could end up being.
The case was sent back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit after the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that former presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts they took while in office. The three-judge panel at the appeals court level — which previously found that Trump could not be shielded from criminal charges — issued a brief, unsigned order sending the matter back to the district court on Friday.
The D.C. Circuit said, "It is ordered, on the court's own motion, that this case be remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court's opinion."
It's now time for Chutkan to decide how the case will move forward.
One of her tasks will probably be to determine what the court wants to let go because it was an "official act" and what acts they can label as "unofficial" in order to go after Donald Trump for them.
The Supreme Court had decided last month that prosecutors may have been too harsh on Donald Trump, and that the president DOES enjoy some immunity.
CBS continued:
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion for the court's conservative majority. He divided presidential conduct into three categories: official acts that are part of presidents' "core constitutional powers"; other official acts that are outside their "exclusive authority"; and unofficial acts. Presidents have "absolute" immunity for the first category, "presumptive" immunity for the second, and no immunity for the third.
What do you think will be the ultimate result of this case?
Will Donald Trump be protected by the immunity granted to him by the Supreme Court? Or are liberals in this country so devilish that they'll actually be able to find a way around the Supreme Court's ruling to punish Trump?
