    This is like the 90th time trump has tried to use absolute presidential immunity… and like the 10th time it’s made it’s way to the SC.

    You’d think the SC would also just have a “Are you fucking kidding us? this is the 10th time you’ve tried this and the answer is still no, you aren’t a godking”.

      I think SCOTUS has only done anything with the immunity question once. Jack Smith asked them to take up the question directly, they said “maybe, we’ll hear you out here” and after hearing them out on why they should take it directly, they decided not to take it directly without making any ruling on the actual issue.
