'The fix is in': Coup trial delay reveals Supreme Court 'in cahoots' with Trump - All In - MSNBC

“No one needs to wonder anymore whether this right-wing court will—audaciously, flagrantly, in front of the whole nation—use their power to run the clock out so that Donald Trump faces no legal accountability,” says Chris Hayes on the Supreme Court taking up the Trump immunity case, further delaying his Jan. 6 trial. - Aired on 02/28/2024.

I am so very disappointed in this decision. I think I always hoped for basic integrity from most of the justices. I see know that I was wrong. The SC has totally lost any standing in my opinion. They are just political hacks. I am so deeply disappointed. My country is disintegrating around me.

I was just talking about this with a friend today and we decided that the delay meant that SCOTUS would let the previous decision stand. I am incredibly disappointed to learn I was wrong - and, as you said, the country's top court has lost its integrity, decision by decision.

The "women's march" of 2017 was the largest in history. An another attempt by TFG to steal the upcoming election would galvanize all 7 million of us who voted for Joe Biden.

points of the law. NO. Smith leaks EVERYTHING he has tomorrow. It will be a public trial for ALL of the people. We must fight as hard as we can. Smith must be a Patriot.

And that's what TFG said just today - starting with him and any president in the future.
