I posted this on the DWAC board.

Nah, the decision on the appeal of the 'total immunity' for a president case is due any day. THAT'S what caused the decision to delay the 1/6 case. And I think the delay is meant to goose the appeal decision.

I further think that they're taking their time to craft a unanimous opinion that will be strong enough to enable the SCOTUS to decline to hear another appeal with the statement, 'what they said'.🤨

This has got to be one of the top braindead excuses/defense his defense ever uttered. Yes, we know there are too many to list here, but this one stands on it's own. Like this is supposed to stop a first time for everything? not withstanding that what he did was not an official act.

After Chutkan denied Trump’s request, Trump appealed that decision in December, with his legal team arguing that “no current or former President had ever been criminally prosecuted for official acts.”
