The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments this Thursday on the issue of whether former President Donald Trump can be criminally prosecuted for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.To say that the approximately 90 minutes of arguments we can expect on Thursday is of immense significance would be a massive understatement, even in the context of the legal maelstrom in which Trump finds himself literally today.
But back to reality rather than political theory, the kinds of criminal acts in issue here, including fomenting a political coup, aren't the stuff of a borderline call. So, I think we should fully expect the prosecution to successfully argue on Thursday that there can be no immunity for a president who engages in criminal conduct to subvert the democratic process and unlawfully cling to power.
