The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in two cases that could undermine an indictment involving Trump's actions on January 6th. The cases challenge the Department of Justice's use of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Trump's assertion of immunity to criminal charges.
That’s the theory, anyway. But the focus will not only be on New York. In a ten-day period beginning on Tuesday, the second day of jury selection, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in two cases—Fischer v. United States and Trump v. United States—that could each undermine another indictment that Smith brought in Washington, D.C., involving Trump ’s actions in the lead-up to the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Fischer case will be heard first, on April 16th.
But there are additional reasons for the drawn-out pace. Judge Cannon, a Trump appointee who is new to the bench, has not been quick to rule on motions, and has issued orders that are confusing or have alarmed prosecutors because they suggest that she might be ready to accept some of Trump’s more farcical legal arguments.
