There's a very pointed "Kavanaugh, J., concurring" on page 24 of this decision.

(My hunch is also that they'll refuse to hear the case.)

If the Supreme Court rules that Trump isn't immune, that has nothing to do with election interference and thus a separate case for the court to hear

It's not a case he's privileged to have heard before the trial starts.

It's not an argument Chutkan has to bother with beyond denying the motion.
If Chutkan denies the motion, they appeal it to the court of appeals.

Why don't you understand?
You can’t just appeal a trial forever because of whatever nonsense reason your lawyers come up with.

Trump will get absolute immunity. Biden will get no immunity. If Trump wins, Biden will end up behind bars.
That's not what the article says!

I added Biden being prosecuted. Trump gets absolute immunity, where the decision has a footnote that it shall not be precedent for future cases, so that a Republican president can prosecute Biden.
Proof that post count is not indicative of quality.
