The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Thursday on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case.
The high court agreed it would review whether Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has immunity from prosecution.
Arguments at the Supreme Court are expected to begin at 10 a.m. Thursday, but the former president will not be present for the proceedings.

Liberal Justices attempting to divert with red herring hypotheticals. Standard when they have a losing ticket. 😃

I don't see what's slippery. Current interpretation states that a President is immune from prosecution for anything he does that is within the scope of Presidential duties.
Trump is trying to argue that a President is immune from prosecution for anything they do while President regardless of whether it has anything to do with the Office of the President.
Trump's interpretation is a much slippier slope.

Either former president is immune and Trump is not eligible to be tried for alleged crimes against congress or the republic while in office, which lets Biden off the hook but also clears the road for Trump to resume office.
Or prosecuting Biden for his crimes is more pertinent to Americans' overall dignity and prosperity than Trump being re-elected, on the slim chance that anyone is willing to actually prosecute Biden who is one foot in the grave already.
You can only have one.

Or they take the chicken # route.
They make a ruling so narrow and specific to trumps case only.
I bet they take the chicken # route.
Roberts is a weasel.

Either way, it requires an act of congress to prosecute. Can't just kick down his (or their) door with a warrant.

So Biden can have the military kill Trump and face no prosecution? According to Trump's lawyer, that's exactly the case.
