A judge will hear arguments Thursday about the potential next steps in the federal election subversion prosecution of Donald Trump in the first hearing since the Supreme Court narrowed the case by ruling that former presidents are entitled to broad immunity from criminal charges.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers submitted dueling proposals late Friday before the status conference. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is presiding over the case that charges Trump with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the run-up to the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Special counsel Jack Smith’s team filed a new indictment last week to strip out certain allegations against Trump, the Republican nominee for president, and comply with the Supreme Court ruling. His team said it could be ready at any time to file a legal brief laying out its position on how to apply the justices’ immunity opinion to the case.

That right there is a perfect example of the fact that the 1700s system that’s being treated with religious reverence doesn’t work in the 21st century.
6 corrupt judges, a few of which are likely to be in less than stellar health make a decision that’s clearly without a rational legal basis and next thing you know, the crook who appointed half of them has fewer legal woes.
It’s not much better than the courts of Russia, Saudi Arabia, or Wimbledon and at least one of those doesn’t really care about jurisprudence!
