Greenberg on Whether the Supreme Court Should Take Up Trump’s Immunity Case: If They’re Following the Law, They Should Not

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
WITT: “Let me ask you a last question. Do you think the Supreme Court is going to take a up the immunity case or not?”

Greenberg: “Well, if they’re following the law, they should not. , so the legal standard here for whether or not this goes back to judge chutkan, and he can go ahead and set a trial date, is whether or not there is a fair cross specht that the majority of the Supreme Court E will overturn the D.C. court of appeals decision, which remember, was unanimous with two Democrats and one Republican judge having found that he does not have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution. He cannot meet that burden to show that this will be overturned. It is a frivolous claim, and it’s not based in the text of the Constitution. No prior presidents ever made this claim. There’s no scholarship to support it. And really, it’s just an obvious delay tactic. So, the Supreme Court should not take up this invitation. They should not put this on hold thany longer. It’s honot fair to the rights of the public to have, are entitled to a speedy trial. They should deny his application. Back to judge chutkan this week, and she is should be able to set a trial date, which would basically put this at probably late may, as soon as late may, which will be right after this New York trial concludes.”
