They already made their decision on immunity. Justice delayed is justice denied.

[davidblandin]

Remember when America was the World standard for justice and the rule of law ?

[paulstupka]

SCOTUS has denied me the right to know if Trump will be held accountable before the election. We have a huge problem with the Federal court system here in the US. We must reform the Federal courts.

[jamesharvey]

Let’s make the Courts have term limits!

It's also 'telling' that a fence was constructed around the SCOTUS 😆

[trevorroberts]

I am not a US citizen and so I don't fully understand the rules. However, it seems to me that some US Supreme Court 'justices' are bringing the US Supreme Court into disrepute.

I would be more than surprised if they do ANYTHING that might bring Trump to trial within the next decade.

The question of Presidential Immunity met the criteria for an expedited case. When it came to Nixon, SCOTUS acted within a week or two if I remember correctly. This is an intentional slow-walk by SCOTUS. There was no reason for it NOT to be an expedited case. It's perhaps one of the most important rulings that SCOTUS will make since its inception.

Was this court ASLEEP on January 6th? This Atrocious day is permanently burned and etched into Historical disrespectful/dangerous behavior by someone who was in charge. WOW!

Republicans have to remember that no party will win without independents vote. And I'm voting blue 💙.

They will announce the decision when Thomas has one foot on a billionaire's private jet headed to a luxury location for summer.

[eandsm]

The court . . . so sad!!! Children are in positions of power.

[TreeDancingCloud]

It tells us John Roberts wants his personal moment of being important to last as long as possible, no matter how much harm he inflicts on America (and the world) while clinging and delaying.

[gabrieldavid]

See they don't care about this country.

[seand]

Yeah, it's "telling" - but it's not at all surprising.

Question is: will enough people VOTE FOR BIDEN? It's the only way this Tiger Without A Tail will be vanquished once and for all.

Alito was probably in Florida colluding with Judge Cannon.

[markhorstman]

Alito, Uncle Thomas, Cannon, three Stooges !

[davidgre]

bought paid for and resold to the highest bidder

[philipberggren]

It tells us that they are just as corrupt as we all think that they are.

[ianreed]

If SCOTUS grants Presidential immunity, then I hope Biden keeps Seal Team Six busy!😂
