Exultant There is Donald Trump with the Supreme Court ruling, which he predicts will deliver from many of the litigation that is pending. “The Supreme Court’s decision is more powerful than some expected, it is brilliantly written and is knew (…) Many of these false cases will now disappear or wither away into obscurity,” he proudly proclaimed on his Truth Social network. Although legal experts assure that the accusations are generally well-founded and many tests.

Between the official acts during his presidency for which the Supreme Court judges recognized him constitutional immunity, his role in the coup assault from the Capitol in Washington. “The election has been stolen from us, but you have to calm down,” we saw him ask that day. He would also cover this immunity —partial… but it almost doesn’t seem like it— coercions to his vice president, that same fateful January 6th, for annul the elections that Biden won. Not far behind, others shenanigans With the votes they would be equally covered. As their attempt to alter the result from the polls in the State of Georgia. Their conversations —pressures— with the Department of Justice would be “privileged.”

Official acts could also be considered under this doctrine, for example, things like Trump taking the pile of reserved documents which he took to his Mar-a-lago residence.

“This immunity does not cover unofficial acts”

Until his historic conviction for the case of the pornstar Stormy Daniels could be called into question: although the immunity The presidential election does not cover unofficial acts, and Trump was not president when the crime occurred, the bulk of the evidence against him was obtained and provided when he was already president. Never a US president or former president had been indicted, so it is the first time that the Supreme Court had to rule on the matter. “I had no other option but to accept the case,” Mark Smith, dean of the Faculty of Humanities at Cedarville University, explained to EFE. The person who holds the post in the Oval Office is not above the law, “but he does have power under the Constitution, which makes it possible for him to be a judge.” Don’t be a normal citizen“, he said.

The High Court judges have been very specific, but at the same time ambiguous: they have been very careful to grant him absolute immunity, which would have “cturned into king“the office and “would have eliminated the rule of law in the country,” since the presidents would be in a position to break the law without consequences. This is pointed out by lawyer Thomas Wolf, director of Democracy Initiatives at the Brennan Center for Justice. It would also have given him the power to pardon those who break the law on his behalf. “The combination of those two powers in the hands of a single person would completely destroy the notion of democracy”he points out. And, he recalled, the founding fathers of the United States wanted to ensure that no president had the right to receive the immunity enjoyed by monarchs or dictators.

Trump’s new push towards the White House

Total immunity would have wiped out the cases mentioned against him, but the ambiguity of this opinion keeps open. It’s a new impetus to their aspirations of return to the White House. Deciding which actions can be considered official “can take a long time,” political analysts say, and if a lower court decides, for example, that he can be prosecuted, he will appeal and that could go back to the Supreme Court.

First of all, thanks to those highs magistrates that he left placed there, Trump already knows that he will not be judged before the elections. And if he wins… we’ll almost see him. self-pardoned.
