QOTD: Election Interference, Supreme Court Style

 

WaPo's conservative op-ed columnist Jennifer Rubin on the deliberate delay by the right-wing majority on the Supreme Court of a decision on the simple matter of whether the Malignant Loser is above the law. A real chin puller.

"Another day of Supreme Court decisions passed on Friday, another day without an opinion on presidential immunity. No better evidence of the bad faith and bias on the part of the right-wing Supreme Court majority exists than its foot-dragging on the decision concerning whether felon and former president Donald Trump can be prosecuted for an insurrection. In deciding to delay the case for more than six months, the court itself commits election interference.

Trump’s strategy in his four criminal matters has always been to delay any reckoning beyond the election in hopes he would get elected, whereupon he could shut down federal prosecutions and put state cases on hold. Now, thanks to U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon’s near-comedic stalling of Trump’s Espionage Act case and the Supreme Court’s equally blatant procrastination, Trump may get his way."

 Disgraceful.
