The Daily Fuckup

June 23, 2024 was not a Supreme Court event in Donald Trump’s immunity case. The Court had already heard argument in Trump v. United States on April 25, 2024, and the docket shows no new action for June 23. The case remained pending until the Court issued its decision on July 1, 2024.

That timeline matters because it is the actual legal record. The Court granted review in No. 23-939 on Feb. 28, 2024, set the case for argument, and then let it sit while the justices worked toward a decision. By late June, the case was still open, but June 23 itself was just another day in that interval — not a separate procedural milestone.

Politically, the pending case still hung over Trump’s campaign because it involved a central question for the criminal prosecutions tied to his time in office: whether and when a former president can claim immunity for official acts. Until the Court ruled, the case stayed part of the campaign environment even though the docket had gone quiet for that particular date.

So the accurate description for June 23 is simple. Nothing happened at the Supreme Court that day in this case. The significance came from what had already happened on April 25, and what would happen next on July 1.
