kentuck (103,747 posts)Two days before ChristmasThat is when Donald Trump must make his appeal to the Supreme Court.Does anyone expect the SC to take the case?And if they do take the case, does anyone expect them to resolve it immediately?These are political times and the DOJ may be waiting for the SC to make a ruling?If the SC were to rule that there was no "executive privilege" for Trump in this case, it might free up the DOJ to move more expeditiously?It seems to me that Mr Meadows and certain members of Congress would have much less room to maneuver, depending on how the SC rules?The Select Committee would have more leverage in subpoenaing people, since the confederates would no longer have the excuse of "executive privilege" to claim. The only crutch they would have left would be the 5th Amendment. (One can only imagine how someone like Jim Jordan might react to a subpoena)America needs a jury trial.If the Supreme Court or jury trial cannot mend the damage that has been done to our democracy and our judicial system, then it is going to be a long walk home.Americans should expect the process to move much more quickly after the first of the year. If the Supreme Court does not act, the DOJ must defend the rule of law.https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216150309
