The Supreme Court Hands Trump A Giant Immunity Lifeline — And A New Delay Machine
The Supreme Court ruled in Trump’s favor on presidential immunity, sharply limiting how prosecutors can use official acts in his federal election-interference case. It was a huge legal win for Trump, but also a reminder that his strongest arguments keep sounding less like innocence than like a request for more time. The decision instantly raised the stakes for the still-pending criminal cases, especially because it forced lower courts to sort out what counts as official conduct and what does not. For Trump, that is a lifeline. For everyone else watching the justice system bend around him, it looks a lot like another institutional headache with his name on it.
