Abstract

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in late April regarding Donald Trump's claim of "total immunity" for all "official acts" undertaken as president. This decision has frozen Trump's 2020 election subversion trial until a ruling is issued, which could be as late as June. Legal experts do not expect the court to uphold Trump's claims, but the timing of the decision could have negative consequences, such as delaying the trial until after the election or allowing Trump to campaign while the trial is ongoing. Some believe that a ruling against Trump could have significant implications for the election, while others argue that the court's decision to hear the case is necessary to establish some form of qualified immunity for presidents. Ultimately, the article concludes that Trump's fate will be determined at the ballot box in November. [Extracted from the article]
