Hope this is the right thread, why on earth is it taking the the Supreme Court sooo long to decide the immunity question? Besides the obvious? IMO

For the past 30 to 40 years, SCOTUS has been very reluctant to make big decisions that settle long standing problems that are split on mostly party lines, like qualified immunity or Chevron. A lot of state supreme courts are the same way. For example, MI Supreme court did that with a lot of the Governors Covid executive orders and by the time they finally made a decision, most of those orders had been rescinded or expired.
So, SCOTUS will wait as long as they can, in hopes that the court cases are resolved in a way that lets them off the hook on making a decision on Presidential Immunity.

They might as well just throw out this case, and let presidents take whatever classified documents they want when they leave office. Store them in their bathrooms in public venues where anyone can get to them.

This case is never going to get to trial.

Cannon is now going to allow people not involved in the case to express their opinions and argue who is right and who is wrong.


“The fact these motions are even being entertained with a hearing is itself ridiculous. That third parties are being allowed to opine at the hearing is absurd”
Judge Cannon expands hearing on Trump’s request to declare special counsel’s appointment invalid

Evidently Garland was questioned by congress today and had some interesting revelations about Jack Smith. This is from CSPAN -

This is not new. Every time there's a special counsel, someone tries to make this argument but it never goes anywhere.

Until now maybe with Cannon and her novel judicial approach. Talk about rigged. This is an open and shut case that should have been tried by now.

Judge Aileen Cannon rips up court schedule in Mar-a-Lago case in ways that benefit Trump - CNN

Judge Aileen Cannon is again ripping up the court schedule in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case – pushing some of the legal questions that have been before her for months even further down the road.

Cannon is planning on holding a sprawling hearing on Trump’s request to declare Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel invalid, signaling she could be more willing than any other trial judge to veto the special prosecutor’s authority.
...
Similar challenges from Trump and other high-level targets of special counsel probes have flopped from coast to coast in recent years: Hunter Biden’s attorney didn’t get anywhere with judges in Los Angeles and Delaware; Paul Manafort’s arguments fell flat when the former Trump campaign chairman challenged special counsel Robert Mueller’s authority; and Andrew Miller, a former associate of Roger Stone, also lost his challenge to Mueller’s authority.

Even with other federal trial-level judges allowing special counsels’ criminal prosecutions, Cannon could rule differently.
....
While others have moved swiftly to trial – including special counsel David Weiss trying his case against Hunter Biden in Delaware this week, eight months after indictment – Cannon has moved slowly on pre-trial issues from Trump and his two co-defendants.

This is why I get so plssed off when people say the judiciary system is being weaponized against Trump- it's total BS, in fact quite the opposite. Trump's being coddled in the courts like he has been all his life. Plus don't forget he had his bond lowered in the civil fraud case- would that have happened to an ordinary citizen?
 

Since Trump was first indicted a year ago, Cannon has dragged out the proceedings in ways that have flummoxed legal scholars and put a trial initially scheduled to begin last month on hold indefinitely.

Several attorneys who have practiced in front of Cannon – and who spoke to CNN for this story – pointed to her isolation as one explanation for her conduct. Cannon’s solitary post in the Fort Pierce courthouse, one that rarely sees high-profile action, deprives her of the informal, day-to-day interactions with more seasoned judges who sit at the other courthouses and could offer her advice, the lawyers told CNN.

They also said Cannon’s lack of trial experience, both as a lawyer and a judge, is apparent. In her seven years as a Justice Department attorney, Cannon participated on the trial teams of just four criminal cases.  And on the bench, she’s only presided over a handful of criminal trials – and Huck took over one of them.
....
Those tendencies include a penchant for letting irrelevant legal questions distract from core issues, a zero-tolerance approach to any technical defects in filings, and a struggle with docket management that allows the type of pretrial disputes that other judges would decide in weeks go unresolved for months.

“She is not efficient,” said one attorney who practices in south Florida. “She is very form over substance.”

Another attorney described her as “indecisive.”

A third attorney who’s had cases before Cannon said, “She just seems overwhelmed by the process.”
...
Defense attorneys CNN spoke to described Cannon as a judge who gives minimal deference to defendants and as a “notoriously” tough sentencer. To that end, the long leash she’s given the Trump team in the pretrial phase of the case has struck a chord with them.

“She’s certainly not sympathetic to most defendants, and she’s certainly playing a different game with the current defendant before her,” another lawyer told CNN, in reference to Trump.
